My Shoe Collection

As women, we all have a collection of guilty pleasure. Mine- perfume and watches. (Judging by my closet however, you would assume it would be shoes and handbags.) Over the years I’ve collected so much “stuff” that I cry inside thinking on how careless I was with my money. Why did I need those shoes that were 50% off but had no where to where them? I always imagined I was investing in my future for that “just in case” scenario. *regret*

Now, to introduce to you my shoes- This is actually ¾ of my shoe collection . The other ¼ were chucked out and given away after being neglected for so long. They deserved a better owner that would show them the attention they needed. :)



BOOTS-

Soda-These Ugg look-alikes finally grew on me and were bought at some Korean-own clothing store for $19.99. Can't say no to that deal. :) 



Soda-I love these boots. I usually wear these on a night out with friends.




TJ Maxx- I've gotten so many compliments for these over the years. Almost as if they're classics or something??






Target- These are the first pair of boots I bought. I remember I thought I was breaking out of my shell and venturing off into being a "young lady" whenever I would wear these.hahaha





Soda- These are so comfortable and I love the wrinkle effect it has on the side.











SANDALS-

 Soda- These sandals are usually worn with my sun dresses or capris.





Forever 21- Thought they were cute, threw them in the closet, and there they still remain...untouched. Maybe I'll break them in this summer.





 Betsy Johnson- I wore these shoes maybe 3 times out of the 4 years I had them. I just "HAD" to get them cuz they were "so cute" and on sale. Now they just sit in my closet as decoration. :P




 TJ Maxx- These are one of my favorite sandals to wear during the hot summer. These were a steal deal at $5! I was so happy when I found them just lying around the store that day.





 India- I just got these in the summer of 2010 from my trip to France. My mom bought them while she was living in India and never really wore them. She gave them to me and I love them. :) Handmade and very well crafted.





 BEBE- Even though I don't wear these now because I feel like chunky wedges are done for awhile, I used to wear these allll the time! These were my everyday shoes 2 years ago. Hey, I'm a sucker for shoes that make me look taller which creates the illusion of slenderness. :)




 Avon- I ordered these through a Avon catalog...............and then only wore these twice.




 Wild Divas-These shoes were given to me as a gift and I definitely got the money's worth out of them. I can't believe I still hold on to this because I've had these since 2003. Haha.








JC Penny's- I bought these "just because." These actually came in handy for a wedding I went to so they got some use out of them. They've been laying in the box ever since.








Tommy Hilfiger- After my BEBE wedge phase I downgraded to a lower wedge and wore these everyday. They are so comfortable and easy to go with any outfit. I always prefer my sandals over shoes anyday.





 Aldo- I'm luck Anthony's mom and I wear the same size. She didn't care for these and tossed them my way. I was quick to catch them. :)





 TJ Maxx- I don't know what I was thinking when I bought these?? I guess for $12 I thought I just had to get them. I only wore them a couple times....*a waste*




Betula- These shoes are probably my one of my favorite pairs. I was so lucky to find these at Ross for under $20! These shoes usually run $100 plus. I loved the zebra design. It reminded me of the BEBE wedges that I adored so much.








HEELS-



BCBG- My boss would always brag about how comfortable these were and encouraged me to buy a pair as well. They were worth it!




 Forever 21- Bought these for a "future occasion" and still haven't worn them........





 Dillard's- These were one of those senseless splurges I did because they were "on sale." *a waste again* I wore them once for half an hour and had to take them off because they were hurting the balls of my feet.




 BEBE- Found these at Marshall's and thought they were a steal deal. But too bad I only wore them once. Now that I look at them......they don't look all that special.....*a waste*




Jessica Simpson- I didn't want to buy these because they were $60 shoes that were only going to be worn for one night (one of my best friend's wedding.) But she requested that everybody wear the same style and color to better coordinate with our dresses. I guess I could wear them whenever I go out to the bar lounge or something.......










SHOES-


Soda- I love how these look like Chuck Taylor's but half the cost....:) And notice the majority of my shoes are Soda brand?? Hahaha. Hey, can't go wrong with cute shoes for good prices.




 Converse Chuck Taylor- I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these!! So bright and pink. Better yet was the enlarged canvas style and thick laces. I just couldn't pass them up. 




 Dr. Martens- These feel like heavy combat boots compared to my other shoes but very protective and almost invincible.




Diesel- I actually bought these for Korea 3 years ago......but as we all know the story, I didn't wind up going. 














WORK SHOES-


Crocs- Pretty stylish compared to the original style we're all used to, right? I thought so too.





 Chinese Laundry- Just some flats I needed for work.






 Dollhouse- These have lasted me 1 1/2 years and going somewhat strong. I tried looking on their website so I could replace these worn out ones, but they're discontinued of course.




 Clogs- I'm surprised I still had these tucked in my closet. These are the shoes I used to wear when I was a server. Ah, good times. Good times.






 Aldo- I thought I could pull these off when I bought these. After a couple weeks once I realized they weren't really my style it was too late to return them. *a waste*








Mervyn's- The cashier knew my boyfriend and gave me a good employee discount on these- free ninty nine. Hahaha. Those are the best.








JC Penny's- I bought these just so I could have a nice pair of "business attire" shoes. Haha. I guess they came in handy because it got me to my current job after I wore these to my interview. 










Jessica Simpson- Finally found a pair of Jessica shoes that weren't 6 ft high in heels! :P
















CLOGS-



 Aeropostale- These clogs kept my feet warm during the cold winter days. I really haven't worn them in the last couple of years though.







Dillard's- The patch style caught my eye and made these clogs really appealing to me. I still get many compliments on these whenever I wear them out.










BLING-



 Kenneth Cole- I planned on wearing these with some type of business casual attire. That lasted only a couple of days.






 Volatile- I originally bought these to wear to my last Korea trip. I was going through some bling bling sandal phase as you can tell.






Guess- These sparkle so much in the sunlight, but the sandal is so flat and hard that it hurts my feet after a couple of hours.






 Romus-Now to the most expensive shoes I own---- I saw these shoes in an upscale boutique store. After going in to find out they were $200 designer shoes from Spain I quickly walked back out. Anthony then surprised me for my birthday and bought them. So sweet, right? Back then, yes. Now, I would kill him!! Who spends $200 on some shoes?? Not I, Sam I am. Times have definitely changed since my "careless" spending days......
