I was shopping at ShopKo last week, and just couldn’t resist these Nike Slides that were on sale for $14.99. They only come in full sizes, and since I’m a size 7 1/2, I first opted for the size 8, but that was too big/loose. The size 7 fits perfectly.
Now today I see these exact same Nike Benassi Women’s Slides are on sale for only $9.99 from Sports Authority! Regularly $18.99. Maybe I should invest in a 2nd pair! I highly recommend them as I wore them today and they are quite comfortable with and without socks. I’ll probably wear them without socks, but my daughter insists that it’s “in” to wear white socks with them.
I almost forgot about my white Minnetonka soft sole back-zip moccasins I had until I saw an online pic of some similiar ones. So, I dug them out of the closet for a snapshot. I haven’t wore them in twenty years, but I don’t think I could part with them. I remember seeing them in a western store, and my mother bought them for me as a gift as I liked them so much. The zipper didn’t zip all the way up the back, so my grandmother put in rivets for holes under the fringe (she was an upholsteror), and I used white bread ties to hold them together. I always wanted to find some type of traction to apply to the bottoms of them as my footprints are embedded on the bottom. I found the exact same brand/style is still made and for sale at Sheplers.com (Item #049444)! And they are only $31.99. For some reason, I was thinking my mother paid a lot more than that for mine, even twenty years ago. I also remember owning a pair of Minnetonka Classic Fringed soft sole brown booties when I was younger, but out-grew them, so I’m sure my mom gave them to the Goodwill.
Ok, I admit I have a problem with taking my shoes off in the house and not putting them away. So instead of picking them all up, I decided to get out the flip cam and let you count the number of shoes laying around with me. You’ll have to watch the video to see the actual number (Hint: I’ve blogged about several of them)!
Noteworthy items I talk about in the video…
I highly recommend the Flip Video Camcorder.
I’m borrowing my friend’s Ab Lounge 2 Abdominal Exerciser as I’m trying to tone up and lose some inches. I’ve lost 10 lbs. so far with Paul McKenna’s program.
And lastly, can you guess my favorite color? ie My shirt, my bedroom, etc. Answer. As if the color of this very blog didn’t give it away… TTYS!
I was in Omaha yesterday and got to see the new DSW store for the first time, and can you believe I didn’t buy anything there?! I can’t either, but I did manage to buy 5 (yes, five) other pairs of shoes!
Shes shown above are from Famous Footwear (BOGO plus coupons)… What’s What by Aerosoles Saddle Up Black Mules I think these are being phased out and replaced by the Aerosoles Cinch Worm Mule (I want these in brown!) Eurostep Over The Top Brown
And these from were from Kohl’s (on clearance, my middle name)… Union Bay Brown Bits Loafers Mootsies Tootsies Never Wrong Black Satin Heels I have the the perfect black velvet dress with rhinestones to wear these with - problem is I’ve never had an occasion to wear the dress yet, but if I do, I’ll now have the perfect shoes for it! Mootsies Tootsies Mo Amust in Dark Brown I already have these in Black and have worn several times, so think these may make good church shoes.
My absolute favorite brown mules are Aerosoles. So I’m partial to that brand when it comes to comfort and style. Imagine my delight when I discovered the Aerosoles Outlet! All of the shoe styles below are only $19.99 each!! Regularly priced from $59 to $110! Click on the pics for more details! I think the Tuscany peep toe mary janes are calling my name!
P.S. Did you know you can have an Aerosoles Shoe Party? Wish I lived near an Aerosoles store!
Everlast seems to be diversifying their product line from not just boxing products, but to include fitness training products as well. The fine folks from Everlast (thanks Christine!) sent me these Spirit II Fitness Trainers in White/Blue to test out, and I love ‘em! I’ve been thinking about investing in a new pair of cross-trainers, and I’m usually partial to Nike shoes, but these are awesome! Not only are they comfortable, but cool looking to boot! And the best part, they are afforable at only $39.99!
From their site… Now, you don’t have to sacrifice style for support Twin Air Bag cushioning provides maximum comfort and stability Genuine leather uppers offers improved breathability Double mesh panels provide ventilation, keep you cool and comfortable Reinforced lateral support for stability for strength training.
I had my daughter take a pic of me actually wearing the shoes, but the flash on my digicam illuminated the reflective material. Now if I could just get motivated about walking/running, I wouldn’t have to worry about not being seen in the dark!
Valentine’s Day can be a bit depressing if you don’t receive anything from someone special. So, I think people should treat themselves! A high percentage of people actually send themselves fresh flowers. But flowers die. Buy yourself some shoes! I’m not a big fan of Birkenstocks, but I like these “Valentine’s Day” Birki’s Dorian clogs. I can actually see myself wearing them. And Zappos.com is known for Free Overnight Shipping, so I’ll have them in time to celebrate… Happy Valentine’s Day to me!
I couldn’t find a link/pic of them online, so you get to see my actual pair above! I did find some similar styles online if you want to be as chic as me…
