shoes

*Barbie*

Did anyone else take advantage of the huge sale at DSW last weekend? I went to 2 stores and got 7 pairs of shoes. I may have a problem. 

I'm wearing these today.

Those are fabulous!

Love them!

Love those, and I totally didn't!

My job calls for flats and unfortunately over the last 8 years of not wearing heels everyday I've lost my heel wearing mojo.  Damned old feet.

Share your other pairs so I can live vicariously through you!

Those are great. I'm with @kimmiinthemitten though about not being able to wear heels, so I too will live vicariously through your pictures.

Love them!  I'm totally jealous you can wear heels - I'm in the flats camp.

Those are gorgeous!

I'm jealous. When my office had a business casual dress code I wore fun shoes all the time. Now that we're a jeans-wearing office, I wear nothing but ballet flats. I have this weird feeling that if I paired cute heels with jeans and pretty tops that I'd be dressed for an evening out, not work. 
Yawn.

I keep my steel toes in my car, along with my safety glasses, hard hat and safety vest.  In the summer I keep closed toe flats back there too JIC a customer has a no open toe policy.

I have a pair of steel toe boots and a hard hat in my car for the rare days that I have to do site walks.

today - this is actually a departure for me because usually my flats are flip flops, but I have a project that's going to involve a fair amount of walking in the office. The pictures don't do these justice - the stones have a lot of sparkle.

Another DSW sale pair - a pretty muted gold.
I needed some new sandals.

i bought these a couple of years ago - wore them one day last week.

i love these - they're haircalf.

I have serious show envy right now. More so because we're on a no frills budget with all the stuff we need for the house and switching jobs. My feet are sad.

@Barbie I want all of your shoes. So many pretties.

a colleague and i did an experiment about 9 years ago after our female manager gave us both talks about wearing more heels and skirts/dresses to the office. she (like the two of us) usually just wore slacks and a nicer shirt - all well within the realm of business casual, and completely normal for our office. we decided to wear heels and dresses/skirts every day for a week just to see what happened. the response was amazing - we both got a ton of compliments that week. that triggered the start of the massive collection of heels.

i told DK that i justify it as a job expense. he just rolls his eyes. I get most of them on sale, and I'm not buying jimmy choos or louboutins. i totally get where you're coming from though - we've been through the moves/job changes/medical expenses and that stuff always comes first. 

i joined instagram late last year and started adding shoe pics, recently.

here's a few more:

nine west:
adrianna papell (wore these during the playoffs for the Pens):

these are one of my favorite pairs because the color transition reminds me of my birthstone/favorite gemstone, Alexandrite- by Enzo Angiolini:

I liked these so much that I got them in 2 colors:

My boots look less and less sexy.

I do the same! I *could* wear heels I'm sure, I actually did the first few months I worked there, but now it's just easier to throw on my neutral flats, jeans, and solid cardigan and call it a day.

today - surprisingly comfortable
