I am so envious! We don't have DSW's up here, nor do we have shops like Ross or TJ Maxx; sigh. Enjoy your new shoes!

Smooth Sailing!

Wow. What a great deal! Don't you love days like that, where you just can't go wrong with four pairs of shoes at $82!

And don't forget different colors of shoes to go with different outfits! (also different heel heights!)

We don't have a DSW in our town either, but I used to love to shop there in my hometown. Speaking of shoes, I did something so out of character for me yesterday! I went to the mall to purchase only some "collar stays" for DH shirts, I walk in the door of Macys and the first thing I see is the new shoes on display. I bought a pair of sling-back, peep toe leopard pumps! I don't have a clue what I was thinking. They are really cute, but as I said, so out of character for "old conservative me"! Still debating if I will keep them or take them back.

I've always owned basic black/brown/beige shoes. I never had owned color. Last year, at 49 years old, I decided I wanted a pair of red pumps to go with a black & white skirt. I found a pair with a 3.5" heel in bright red. I tried them on, I loved them, the price was right, they were very comfortable. And then I sat there and hesitated, asking myself can I really wear these, to the office, no less. Finally, I decided a time comes in every girl's life where she simply deserves a pair of red high heels. I bought them. I love them! I wear them with black slacks and a white top with a red belt, or grey slacks with a white top for a pop of color. Now I've also added to my color collection red/black reptile print sandals and bronze patent leather sandals. Keep the leopards! Try them on with a black pant or skirt and red, black, or white top. They will give the outfit a nice pop!

Oh, I have no problem with color shoes. I have them in every shade of the rainbow. When Drew plays music tonight, I am wearing a pair of hot pink heels with a peep toe and bow on them. Usually when I find a shoe that I like, I buy one of every color! I just have never gone this "overboard" and bought something so "unconventional".!

I'm thinking of taking them on our valentine cruise and wear them with a short black or red cocktail dress! I have a lot of time to think about that one!

Shoes are my one vice and try as hard as I might.....I can't resist them. The sales lady just doubled over with laughter while I was trying them on. I told her that I know that I have to "Cast my Crown" back at His feet in heaven...but I was thinking of asking Him if I could have a pair of matching shoes just to keep!

Drew is insisting that I keep them also....We'll see..

You think that a hot pink peep toe with a bow is "conventional" and less "overboard" than a leopard peep toe slingback? Gotta disagree with you on that one. A leopard slingback is a classic look that's been worn for decades, and from afar will stand out a whole lot less than hot pink with a bow.

I'm not advocating keeping shoes that you're not comfortable wearing (either physically or psychologically), but trust me, the leopard ones are less "overboard" than the hot pink.
Just my opinion.

If you like them and they feel comfortable, keep them and enjoy. Certainly don't worry about them being over-the-top. They're not. They'll go well with your black and red dresses.
