After slaving away in that kitchen for the better part of the afternoon, and then slapping up pictures and writing for the rest of it… I decided I wanted to do something different and frivolous.  A conversation with a friend had me pondering about my shoes.  I know I have quite a few heels, some cute flats and a veritable rainbow of $3 flipflops from Old Navy.  So I did what any sane girl would do, I hunted down the right shoe for every pair I have and proceeded to photograph them.  That is… I took pictures of the ones I didn’t already have close up shots to and I wasn’t about to take pictures of my flipflops.  If you care to know what colors I have… not even I can tell you.  I change them out, wear them down and toss them when I feel inclined.  That’s the beauty of $3 footwear.  You don’t have to worry about them and you can collect them in as many colors as your girlish heart can love.

And so I begin…

  Blue tweed pumps We begin with my favorite shoe; blue tweed round toe pumps.  The heels are slightly over 3 inches high. 

 These would be my second favorite; turquoise velvet wedges Turquoise Wedges

red strappy Red strappy with a top bow and a 2 inch heel  side red strappy

I still haven’t learned to walk in these.  They are kind of painful.

But, darn, aren’t they pretty?

black patent pumps These would probably be the ones I wear the most but they aren’t a standing shoe; black and white patent mary jane pumps with a 3 inch heel.

Probably my most beaten up pumps; round toe black with 2 inch heelblack pumps

sparkly slingbacks I’d REALLY wanted to get these in turquoise, but I chickened out and got them in black.  I’m still wishing I had gotten the other pair; sparkly black slingbacks with fabric crochet flower and 2 inch heel.

My hooker shoes; clear 4 in. heels.   Hard to walk.  Made for posing clear heels

Navy strappy I bought these thinking they were black, but turns out they are navy.  I can’t remember when was the last time I wore them; navy strappy with 3 in. heel.

Gold & Pink straps, pink & orange rhinestone butterfly; 2 in. heelGold strappy

grey strappy I’ve worn these twice.  Originally bought for my 9th grade prom.  I refuse to toss them though I will likely never wear them again; 3 1/2 in. heel.

No, I didn’t try to walk in these things.

The ribbon was pink but I couldn’t find it.

And I lied, the heels are really about 5 inches, not 7.

red pumps I’m still learning how to walk in these.  Notice these are my sole pair of pointy shoes.  They really hurt, I should have bought them a size larger but I got them online, and I wasn’t able to finally pick them up and try them on for a month after they were delivered.  And the ankle straps actually do help; 5 inch heel.

If you have noticed, I really do not like super high heels.  I keep them around 3 inches or less and I have a penchant for round toes and pumps.  Now we look at my recently acquired flats:

blue flower Skecher’s blue flower mary jane flats.

Grey tweed mary jane ballet flats (most worn) grey tweed

patent leather flats These actually have the barest fraction of a kitten heel and they are my favorites; black patent leather with matte ribbon.

Velvet flat with pleated front and satin ribbon. velvet flat

 

Last, but certainly not least!

rain boots My rain boots

Pink with green trim and tulip pattern

What?!  It rains a lot here on the island! 

You expect me to ruin my other pretty shoes?
