Time to Stock Up...

The fashion world listened when Sarah Jessica Parker said she can only wear stilettos on the red carpet now due to years of running around in them and the damage they have caused her feet.  So it is time to put our sky high heels aside and embrace this spring's trend for our feet - the Kitten heel!  Yep, 1 to 2 inch heels are the perfect height for spring fashion and that's awesome for our comfort level.  Unfortunately it isn't awesome for my wallet because at last count I have only a few pair that fit the bill.  Thank goodness stacked heels and wedges are in too!

Ralph Lauren chocolate brown suede I found unworned at my favorite consignment store, Chic Envy.

Golden mustard ankle-wrapped low heels by Nicole Miller.  Perfect for spring!

Comfy and cute neutrals from Dana Buchman,  I have them in black too!

You can't beat these Charles David wedges for summer.

These Dana Buchman's are the perfect height for this season.

But you know the above just can't get me through spring and summer so, it looks like it is time to go shopping!  

I Have Enough Shoes?!?

This morning I was in my closet picking out my clothes for the day and suddenly a realization hit me like a thunderbolt... I have enough shoes. Now I know enough is a relative term and some might say I have more than enough. But I think I simply have, well, enough.

And you should know I have been downsizing. In the past few months I have purged clothing and shoes alike. Purple Heart and Vietnam Vets of America have certainly benefited.  But I also benefited as I took advantage of consigning for the first time. Chic Envy - a fabulous shop - opened a location less than a mile from my house.You can consign 20 items at a time and I couldn't believe they chose 16 of mine. Including some shoes that I just don't wear anymore even though they are still fabulous:

Tahari Ivory/Black Patent

Via Spiga Camel Patent with Ivory Piping

Calvin Klein Micro-Suede Strappy Sandal

It's not that I don't love each of these it's just that I don't wear them so why shouldn't someone else enjoy them (and I'll enjoy the 50/50 split!)? So yes, I think I have enough. I know T is worried that this purge means there will be a later surge but I don't think so. I think I'll just live with what I have for a while. Unless of course something REALLY special catches my eye ;).
