What’s your shoe of summer?
I’m back! I apologize for my absence — when you’re in your last semester of college, your priorities are rearranged for you. Hopefully I’ll be posting a little more regularly now that I have more time to indulge the shoe addict in me.
Yes, I graduated from college! Here are the shoes I wore on my graduation day:
I bought these a year ago for $16 at Ross and had never worn them. Notice the picture on the left of me trying to discreetly massage my feet with a smile on my face!
Graduation means freedom and an entrance into the “real world” (which, in the current economy, is a bit scary for the class of 2009), but on a more materialistic note, it also means graduation presents. I’ve been blessed to have a loving and generous family, and I received a lot of great gifts — most of which went straight into my savings account, as it should be with any grad.
Anyway, with a $20 Victoria’s Secret gift card (and a very well-timed 25%-off-a-single-item special), I was able to score these 4-inch Colin Stuart heels for under $30 — and the original price was $88!
What do you think? What shoes do you have your eye on this summer?

Love the second pair! Very comfy looking.
I have my eeys on a pair of heeled gladiator sandals but am holding back from buying them. I don’t *need* them so may pass.
Shoes, ANY shoes!!!!!
Brie: They are VERY comfortable! And good recessionista reasoning. Recently, I’ve been a lot more selective with my purchases — this splurge really is a one-time thing!
Ann: That’s the spirit! Just make sure whatever purchases you make are reasonable and versatile. You won’t regret it later!
i think that, with the sales, it’s a good time to invest in shoes that are pricier but are highly discounted due to the sales. love your feet and buy shoes that not only look cute but FEEL GOOD!
