New Shoes, Old Jacket

Shoes? Aldo (here) Jeans? H&M , thrifted and then bleached and beat up 
Bodysuit? H&M (similar here or here)Jacket? Thrifted Cuff? Vintage, auction

I bought new shoes! 
Matt is, surprisingly, the most happy about this. Not because he cares too much about my shoe collection or really, my shopping habits but because I have spent this last month debating (out loud) exactly what pair of high heel sandals to get. I don't know what was wrong with me, maybe it's the fact that it is the beginning of the season and I was paying full price but I treated this shoe decision like it was a real estate purchase. Most of the month I thought deep thoughts (out loud) about the choice between these silver sandals and these aqua sandals. Rarely do I shop online (though it is increasing a bit...) but I also wasted a fair amount of time checking Asos, Stylemint and Aldo. I then made up my mind (out loud) to get these from Aldo but I ended up walking out of the store with the ones I am wearing above instead. They are shockingly comfortable and quite flattering. Expect 53% of my summer outfit pictures to feature these or my DvF sandals. Just warning you...

If you thought this post was annoying, boring and/or a waste of time, please take a moment and feel sorry for Matt. Take that last boring paragraph of shoe chatter and extend it over four weeks and you will understand why Matt is thrilled I finally settled on shoes... 
Now that the shoe debate is over, we can return to discussing more important things. Like what's for dinner...*



*Good question. It's Thursday... I vote take out.

That made me laugh! I've done this to my husband so often, I'm sure he'd sympathise with Matt.
The shoes look awesome by the way, like they can bling up just about any outfit! :)

I love the shoes!! Such a good pick! And I do the same thing to poor Shawn all. the. time. I'm the most indecisive person in the world! I would definitely say you came out successful! These will go with everything!

Was that post annoying/boring? I wouldn't know, because I was too busy drooling over your sandals and oh so many sequins.

If there isn't one already, there should probably be an online support group for husbands of style bloggers. They're such good sports.

Totally love your sandals Yen! I am an Aldo addict. There is one about 2 miles from my home, but I buy online. Their return policy is just that easy. {Gak!} I sound like Shell Busey.

Your sandals, bracelet and jacket were made for each other. I think Matt should know that.

You made the right decision buying those sandals, they are super chic and sexy! Love the gold accent on the front. I actually tried on the turquoise Zara sandals and though they are absolutely stunning they are anything but comfortable! Poor Matt and all the men whose wives/girlfriends are in the blogging world, they most be part of lots of big decisions like this!

I can totally relate and I totally commend you because this has been happening to me and I finally had a meltdown and just bought like 4 pairs of cheap sandals in a haste. Good job weighing the pros and cons! You got a good one girl and I loooooove that blazer!
