All Grown Up

I recently went shoe shopping with a friend of mine. This is a big deal because I haven't bought new shoes (flip flops don't count) in a really, really long time. I was a girl on a mission: I needed new dress shoes that weren't black. And I didn't want to spend more than $30 on them.

We started at TJ Maxx, and the selection wasn't that great. But there were two more discount shoe stores plus a Marshall's in the same shopping center (not that we planned that or anything...), so we continued on to the next store. Nothing caught my eye. Rack Room Shoes was next, and the first thing we see are exactly what I don't need: Black ankle boots. But they're really cute, and majorly on sale. And they happened to have a BOGO half off sale. I kept on looking around and found these:

What's this? A pointy toe! Ack!

I have always shunned the pointy toe. It's too fashionable, it's uncomfortable, blah blah blah. But I found these and love how grown up they look. I think that was the biggest problem for me, that they looked so grown up. But I'm feeling more grown up lately and learning how to reflect that in how I dress. And the ankle boots?

 

Bam! Those are some sleek shoes. The best part? I got both pairs for $35. Done deal.
