100th post

This is it... over a year after beginning this thing it has less focus then when I started, but continues to document my journey..

unfortunately I have had the craziest week ever.. and a near death experience. I am currently drafting the full story for my running blog . It is a fairly lengthy story, but I am close to finishing it, and then you will understand...

I will however, for now, give you a better look at some of the new shoe additions that I have yet to actually do a close up of... here we go

So I went in to my favorite consignment shop (ok, the only consignment shop i know of in town) because it had been awhile, and well, maybe I would have some credit on my account. (even though I should not be shopping and spending money) Well turns out I did have $9 and some odd cents.

Now I work this store, its consignment after all,  I know prices will drop on clothes that don't sell right away. To put it lightly its got to be amazing for me to pay its 1st listed price ( go ahead call me cheap, ridiculous, whatever, I get it, I am, but here it works) , normally I can hold off and in a few weeks it will drop in price. Anyways,  I swing past the shoe section b/c lately they have been getting some better/nicer shoes cosigned. and there where these beauties....


A pair of lightly worn Steve Madden Wedges... 7.5, like seriously the only "worn" factor is a little bit of dirt scuff on the wedge on one of the heels. The fabric and straps and toes and all that, perfect...

Listed at $14. fit perfect...

I had to, I didn't have an option. At $14 they would be gone before the day was over, and I liked them far too much, "they where a love at first sight, a mine at first sight "piece... And with my store credit of $9, these heels cost me $5...


Am still explaining myself... ok, I am going to move on now...

To the next score... Vera Wang Sandal Heels... on the sale rack at Kohls.. Thought they where like 16 or 17 bucks... to hot to contain... then realized the ones I picked up where in a box marked $10.  Kristen was with me, and she was good, put them down (she is moving to Bend.. she won't be needing sandal heels any time soon, and you know, I think I would take Bend and snow season over these heels. But I am not moving to Bend, and they are Vera Wang Heels... for $10.. I can't not get them....



I wore them out last weekend (I went out, I know, shocking) and they seriously are possibly the most comfortable hells I own, I walked all over, and did not even think about wanting to take them off, thats a good pair of shoes (turns out they where originally for sale for $80 - - score of the century)

They are higher then they appear in this shot.. I did not know my camera had a stunting growth option.. hmmm 

Please excuse the black running pants, I should have cropped them out


And last but not least, these Elle peep toe pumps. I believe they were around $15. Kristen owns them, and said they where worth every penny she spent on them (at full price), great work shoes, comfy, and basically that I had too. 




Now what I really need are boots, thats what I need for this season around the corner, called, oh I dunno... winter...
