I admit it, I have a problem.
Yes, of course I’ve always had a bit of a shoe habit. But lately, it seems it’s gotten harder to resist purchasing shoes that will have limited use.
Surely, I must have been more practical at some point?
I picked up these green and yellow sandals a few years ago. They were on sale, and while I loved them, I initially went home without them.
What would they possibly match?
Still, I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I knew I had to go back — I figured if they had my size in stock, it was meant to be!
Surprisingly, I do get a lot of wear out of them. The colors are subtle, and I actually have a few light green tops that coordinate.
The pink sandals were a no-brainer since they were really cheap at Target. I have quite a few skirts and tops that work well well with them.
(Though, I think I bought the skirts specifically to go with the shoes … but, I really did need more skirts at the time!)
I didn’t buy anything else colorful for a while except for some purple pumps which I needed to go with a dress.
It was a striped dress, predominately purple, but also with some green (so the yellow/green sandals match as well). Since I was wearing the dress for a fall wedding, I wanted a closed toe. The dress has since gotten more use, but I have worn the sandals every other time.
This spring/summer has seen a lot of color!
It started with these cute sneaker flats that I had to have.
They’re the ‘Eleanor’ series by Keds. I liked a few of the prints and decided to purchase the blue owl version.
I do wear a lot of aqua blue, so I wear them a decent amount of time … but I haven’t found a way to coordinate them yet without being a close match.
I love them … so when I found one of the other styles I liked on sale at T.J. Maxx the other day, I couldn’t resist.
I wear a lot of green, too 🙂
I really tried to leave T.J. Maxx with just that one pair, but another impractical purchase was calling out to me.
They were very cute, and very comfortable, but I put them down and walked away. They’d be yet another pair of shoes that will be hard to coordinate.
Or would they?
I had to go back and take them home!
I wore them today, and my feet were very happy!

Red shoes are very popular here!
I have this thing about things needing to be coordinated. It always amazes me when girls walk past kitted out in things that don’t match at all to me… but it SO works. I just can’t figure out how to do it myself!
Great display of your shoes there!
Thanks, it was fun 🙂
Red shoes are popular here, too … I just wasn’t sure if I’d be able to make them work.
So far, so good. I made the right choice — they’re a lot more practical than the red patent leather peep-toe stilettos that were also on sale!
Oh you have the BEST SHOES! Especially those Keds!
And GREAT pedicure. Good work.
Shoes are so much fun!
It’s not that great of a pedicure — I just didn’t zoom in close enough to see where I went out of the lines 🙂
It’s been a few months since my last pro pedi … and I’m really seeing the difference! (Especially with the dark red I have on now!)
