shoelicious

I swear there is some sort of mass conspiracy to keep me away from blogging! I have a feeling the individual behind this conspiracy is very small and very cute. Yes. I am going to blame my son. Good mommy, hey?

You see, I do my blogging during nap time and night time. And lately I have been so exhausted from "awake time" that instead of blogging while my son is asleep I have been sprawled out on the couch reading. So you can also blame the really good book I've been seduced by (really you can blame anyone except me).*

As for this outfit, look:


What a difference a pair of 2 dollar shoe laces make! I switched the ugly flat light brown ones that came with the shoes for a pair of nice skinny dark brown ones that, I think, suit the shoes much better.

These are vintage Naturalizers that I picked up at V.V. for 8 bucks. I love Naturalizer---SO COMFORTABLE. And they have so many cool styles now. I particularly like these ones:

I don't just don't "get" uncomfortable shoes. I am not one of those girls who will go about in uncomfortable shoes all day because they look good. I refuse. Also, I do a lot of walking. And mostly, how the heck is it even possible? I don't get it. Don't your feet hurt???

Oh, what else is fun about these shoes, despite the fact that they are thrifted, is they are new. Yep, brand spakin' new. I love it when I find new items at thrift stores (esp. vintage ones!). I got my husband the coolest "new" vintage 70's shirt the other day (it still had its original creases). Oh, and also, I got a new (by new, I mean, never worn) brown leather purse as well, for a measly ten bucks!

Now, if you recall my shopping rules you will probably be wondering if I am all shopped out this month.

The answer is sadly: yes. No more thrifting until July. Though I have still to purchase my one new item... Any suggestions? Really, tell me what to buy and leave a link! The pic of the black shoes IS a link, btw, if you want to buy them. I know I do. When they're on sale, that is.

* Because I hate it when people mention books but are not specific: The Forgotten Garden. Totally recommend it! -also, I will show you the bag and the vintage shirt some time too, because I also hate it when people mention clothes sans pics!!

Oh, and I mentioned my son, so here's a pic! (my son is the one with the brown stuffy and runny nose). I spent yesterday morning looking after my nephew. I have to say, he was EASY. My son on the other hand (who is currently getting FOUR teeth) was as much work as two babies. :-)
