If the Shoe Fits...


Check out these adorable shoes I saw today at Payless (the actual store). I saw them almost as soon as I arrived at my size (10) and reached for them almost as a reflex. I love Payless. Almost all my shoes come from that store, and I have more shoes than most girls my age. I used to hate shoes, but now I can't get enough of them. As soon as these shoes get marked down or I have enough money, I'm going to pounce. They are to die for. They're classic forties glamour. I can't decide whether to get them in blue or black. I guess I have time to decide. They're awesome!

So anyway today I visited
Forever 21, the greatest store ever. The clothes are great, and so are the prices. I wanted a dress, and they had plenty. I tried on about five, and was torn between two: a black wrap dress and a halter polka dot dress. The dresses to which I linked aren't the exact dresses, but they're eerily similar. Well, after much thought, I ended up buying neither; I chose the first one I tried on. I had sort of forgotten about it, and when I grabbed all the dresses I saw it and realized it was the best one. I couldn't find a picture of it, but it's a tan khaki shirt dress with buttons all the way down and a matching tie belt. It's very similar to this dress, except mine's a lighter color and the buttons are the same color as the dress. But other than that, they're practically the same dress. It's adorable, and extremely versatile. I can do so many things with it. That's why I chose it. I'm very pleased. It would be incredible with those shoes. And while browsing the Forever 21 site, I caught sight of this dress. I don't remember seeing it in the store. Anything green makes me drool. Except broccoli.

I am tired of summer. It's too hot. I can't wear my favorite autumn clothes. My life is like those commercials for Sex and the City when they hold out a shoe for each day, and Sunday and Monday are boring, and then Tuesday and Wednesday are really flashy, since that's when the show is on. Well, in the commercial for my life, a pair of ugly shorts would be held up as the announcer said "Spring" in a bored voice, and then a boring white tank top would be held up as she said "Summer" in the same bored voice. Then a fabulous shirt dress, like the one I just got would be held up and the announcer would say in an excited voice, "Autumn!" Then a brightly colored turtleneck would be held up and the announcer would say, even more excited, "Winter!" That's exactly my life.
