Sunday Shoes


Right now, my job is sort of half school, half work. It keeps me very busy. I'm in the midst of a particularly busy few weeks, and I'm anxiously craving summertime when my hours will be a bit closer to the normal range. When it does go back to normal, I have a mental to do list that's too long for me to write out without panicking a little. I've been pushing a lot of things off until about June or so until I 'had more time,' and I'm hoping things settle down a bit. Soon. (just as I'm writing this my mind is off- spring clean the apartment, redo my budget so I can start digging more into undergrad loans, finalize some plans for fall, start eating things other than sodium-packed Trader Joe's frozen dinners...

One of those things is revamping my closet a little. This year has been a whirlwind, and I've definitely been less than focused on what I'm wearing and how I'm presenting myself. The worst part is that I believe this stuff is really important- we should dress for success, after all. I work in a casual-dress environment, and it makes it REALLY easy to wear whatever my half-asleep self pulls out from the closet first. I know, though, that I always find I have a little bit of extra confidence when I know I look put together. So I'm making a resolution to be more aware of that. Beauty is much more than skin deep, but I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing how you feel inside on the outside. A pretty outfit makes me confident, confidence helps push me to do my best, and that's what it's all about, isn't it? 

Therefore, while I'm not meaning to make this a fashion blog my any means, I will be posting some outfits and accessories that I find a bit inspiring, things that I'd feel great wearing. And I'll start that with some Sunday Shoes. I hardly ever spend extra money on shoes- I usually find a few great pairs that last me through a season or two and then re-evaluate. I'm love a classic look that doesn't necessarily go out of style, which I hope will be reflected here.

Some shoes I've currently got my eye on:


  • I'm in love with these Aldo sandals. They're cute with a little bit of sparkle. If I wasn't trying to stick to a budget, I'd buy them right now.
  • I've wanted a pair of nude pumps since Kate Middleton started wearing them last year. 
  • I wish I could pull off these orange wedges. I usually don't wear super bright colors- but these would look fantastic with a white sundress on a vacation this summer.
