Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

The title should be sung to the tune of Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue.  I just need to come up with the rest of the words 🙂

As you might recall, I’ve been having some problems with mild plantars fasciitus.  Because of that I am trying to move over to primarily “sensible shoes”.  Thank goodness they are making cuter sensible shoes these days.

I am also crazy thankful for Podiatry Shoe Review, a blog written by one of the top Podiatrists in Phoenix.  She has a great post that went up today on the Top 20 Women’s Comfort Dress Shoes.  She talks about the features of different brands and styles, but more importantly does a terrific job of explaining what types of foot pain each shoe can or can’t hurt.  I definitely recommend taking a look.

A Pot-Luck Thanksgiving

For the last few years my friends and I have had a tradition of what we call “Orphan’s Thanksgiving”.  Rather than lots of small thanksgiving dinners, those of us without family or without nearby family get together and do a pot luck thanksgiving.  Everyone brings a couple of things and we eat together.

As you might expect, this doesn’t require a dressed up look.  So I went for stylish casual with all items I’ve worn before:

  • Blue snake print jeans (Kohls)
  • Black flow-y knit top (Valerie Bertinelli for Marshalls)
  • Black ballet-flat style sneakers (Marshalls, similar)
  • Brass geometric necklace (Loyalty and Blood via Fab.com)
  • Brass bracelet (the little boutique across the street)
  • Prescription Sunglasses (Goggles4u)

Looking at the picture, I’m not entirely happy with the taper on the leg of the jeans.  However snake print jeans like this are a very trendy style, and likely to be OUT of style again fairly quickly.  Plus they were pretty cheap in the first place, and border on too big.

And I know; a fashion in sneakers!!!  What a shock!  I can’t recall the last time I saw that…  We’ll just write that one off as my own personal style 😉

 

Favorite Frock Friday
