Monday's Confessions.

I think that I will start doing a weekly "Monday's Confessions" post. {P.S. - can someone remind me this every Sunday night?} This week I have decided to confess my shoe shopping sins. Forgive me followers, but the bug got me good this past week. I typically only shoe shop when I need a pair for an event. Then I spend hours hunting for the perfect pair, and buy in bulk. I quickly decided on the first pair below for my best friend's wedding shower next weekend, then I noted that I wear the same sandals all.the.time. So I quickly grabbed pairs #2 & #3 {on sale!}. Then I decided to answer an itch. {see pair #4, you'll understand.} Wonder which pair is actually getting worn to the shower?

Zara Basic Sandal {finally}

Zara Vamp Shoe

Matiko Sandals {Now out of stock, here are great Matiko wedges}

Behold - my new treasures. Valentino Rockstud Pumps

Also in my shopping cart, these PRECIOUS {and incredibly inexpensive - $7.50} sandals! There were five or six colors Friday, but now only three. Hurry if you want orange, pink or turquoise. Thank you Forever 21, people truly underestimate you.

Get yours now.

Shhhhh...don't tell on me.


P. S. I am in the process of selling my wardrobe. No, really. I have gone through my closets and pulled over 300 pieces to sell to a better home. These items are never worn or barely worn. Yesterday I placed 100 items on eBay, and many have already sold, but if you care to take a gander, feel free. Not my size? Don't worry, purses are on deck (JPK, Coach & more).
