the comfiest shoes in the world…

…probably. I was in Chicago for the last several days attending a trade show in which our company was exhibiting. So of course I visited Nordstrom Rack while I was there. As I was perusing the shoe racks, a bit of black satin caught my eye.

It was the MIA Streamer flats. I slipped my aching feet in them & it was heavenly. They have a mesh lining inside, which I really liked. Unfortunately, I was in danger of being late for a cocktail party & the line to check out was outrageous. So, I took a picture of the label on the box & headed back to the hotel.

Last night I Googled them & discovered that Dillard’s has them marked down to $29.99! Not only did I buy them in black, but I decided to get pewter also. That is very weird for me. I’ve always disliked metallic shoes & thought I would never own a pair. I really like the pewter color of these though, so I decided to give it a shot.

Now I just have to hope that 7 is truly the size I needed & that my feet hadn’t just swelled. Almost every review I’ve read online indicates they run big. Fingers crossed!

it’s never too late

I always thought Anthropologie’s Soft-Structured Dress was pretty cute in the navy floral, but I never gave even the slightest consideration to the solid gray. I even tried the navy on while in Nashville back in March & thought, “Wow, I really like the style of the dress but the floral pattern not so much.” Why I never tried the grey, I haven’t the slightest. It would be perfect for work!

Well of course it’s completely sold out online & there are none in my size on eBay. So I called Anthro’s customer service (they are AWESOME) & I was told there is only one size medium left in any of the stores. I called the store & they did a charge send for me. The best part? It took a 2nd cut to $39.95! Needless to say, I’m a very happy girl right now. 

I can’t wait to wear this to work with a cute scarf & my Coach Jazlyn wedges!

cuteness for the office

I’ve been telling myself for weeks that I need to buy clothes for work, but I continue to buy after work & weekend wear. I FINALLY made a purchase for the office that I’m actually pretty excited about.

I finally pulled the trigger on the Print On The Line Cowlneck from Anthropologie. I’ve been stalking it for months. Since it’s by Twenty8Twelve, it was originally $178. They marked it down to $89.95 a few weeks ago, but I felt that was still too much. They finally did a second cut to $49.95 & there was only one size small left, so I went for it.
