Shoe shopping

Remember those shoes that I wanted to get for my niece's wedding? Gone. The store as well as the website no longer have them. Someday, I am going to be able to see something I like and want and not have to say, when I get a paycheck, if there is money left over.... I am going to see something I like and want and just get it. But maybe the fun is in the waiting anyway. So, these are what I got instead.
And, by waiting? The store had sent me a $10 off coupon because it is my birthday soon. And then I got another $10 off coupon for my rewards points from the store. And the really good news? DSW lets you use 3 coupons at a time when you are purchasing. The only thing that would have been better? If they had been in the clearance section.

But now I don't know what to wear dress wise. I really need to pay someone to dress me, I am so bad at that kind of thing. Any suggestions?

Virtual Shopping Spree

It's been kind of a crazy busy day at work today. But I did have some downtime and I used it for some constructive online shopping. I shopped as if money were no object and I could have whatever I wanted.
Here is some of what I would have bought today if my bank account were a happy account and money grew on trees.

Because it's been that kind of day and virtual cheesecake is better for me than real cheesecake

The Dancer by Lladro For my patio Something to wear for my niece's summer wedding (how the shopping trip got started)

I actually have this pattern
Maybe I'll keep looking because I don't know if I feel like sewing this summer.

Shoes from DSW Shoes. Which means the pink dress. Unless I decide to go with a yellow dress. Or maybe I'll go with something entirely different.

But with prices being what they are these days, this is probablywhat I'll end up with!

Shoes

Jess introduced me to a new shoe store, DSW Shoes. They have some cute, cute shoes. And, if you head back to their clearance section, you can get these cute, cute shoes for a serious discount. As much as 80% off!!

This is what I got.

One thing I cannot find, however, is a pair of white pumps. Mine are 10 years old and starting to look it. But no one carries white pumps. I have been looking for 2 years now.
