New Shoes (before the ban)


Here are the new shoes I bought yesterday (right before I announced my shopping ban). I have actually been searching for awhile for some work appropriate shoes. I finally work at a place where we can wear our own clothes! We usually dress pretty casual like jeans and a t-shirt but every now and then I like to dress up a bit. Until now I just had these little leopard print flats I was wearing but they are pretty worn out, and I didn't want to wear my heels. So I was on the search for new flats, but I ended up with a wedge.

They were more comfortable and fit better than any flats I tried on that day. One of my feet is bigger than the other, and with sneakers it doesnt really make a difference but with dressy shoes I really notice it. This is why I thought I should get them even though I was hoping to find really cheap ones.

They were regular $89.95, on sale for$79.99 and half off that so I got them for $39.99. One thing I have been thinking about trying to focus on is quality over quantity. I am always thinking about how I can get the most STUFF with my money. I need to try and think more along the lines of how I can the the most in terms of quality. I am hoping that this shopping ban might help put things into perspective.

When it comes to comfy shoes that you wear to work, I think spending a bit more to get something REALLY great is absolutely okay. So I'd say that you made a good purchase!

Those are nice! I am in need of some good non-high-heeled shoes for work, especially since I recently sprained my ankle.

For some reason, wedges don't work for me, but these look good!

I'm guilty of cheaping out on work shoes but it's very important to invest in comfort sometimes... They look like pretty AND sensible shoes!
