Back to School

I'm just going to jump right in here, I'll go back and 'splain about why I'm doing the blog and all that later.

My husband was out of town for the weekend and of course I went shopping.  I managed to buy 5 pairs of shoes but they were all totally & completely NEEDED!

You see school starts in two weeks so everyone needs new shoes for school.  Ok, technically I'm a college professor not a student, but I still have feet and therefore need new shoes.  I can't be expected to show up the first day (or week) wearing the same shoes I wore last semester! ;-)

Anyway, I actually was very conservative with my shopping as far as money goes and hit the sale rack (mostly) at DSW and Aldo.  I was also conservative (for me) heel-wise since I have to walk in these puppies all over campus.  (Please tell me whose idea is it that I have 10 min between classes and 4 miles between buildings! Ok, it's not even close to that but the higher my heels the longer the distance I'm pretty sure.)

I bought 4 pair at DSW.   A black strappy Nine West (sometime I'll do a whole deal on Nine West and why I buy them), brown & black Bandolino's, blue denim-like Mix No6, & brown & gold Carlos Santana's.

I also bought a pair of Aldo's (at Aldo) but I found them on line here:  I however got the black denim.  They are pretty high but super cute.

I know you are thinking TWO pair of denim shoes. But the Mix No6 are TOTALLY different and not really for school.  Ok, I might wear them to school but they are more for nighttime.   See the ankle strap is a bit much, even for me, to look like a college professor.  They zip up the back if you can't tell.

Back to the both denim concept.  Denim is really in right now & I'm just not into vests and denim jackets anymore.  I do have a couple of blue denim skirts that I might wear with one of them but that is about as denim as I go.  However, I do like mixing textures so I'll probably wear the Aldo's with a skirt or dress that isn't denim.  Once I figure out the outfit I'll post it up.

Alright have to go rearrange the shoe closet now to make these fit!
