Baby Steps
So I like to web shop when stuff is slow. Today, I found some stuff at www.asos.com for damn near nothing- I wanna buy these... what do you think?
Those side buttons are killer! Pumps, ankle boots, sandals- I think I could rock these! Here's the best part; they're only $15!!! I don't know what's going on but I keep finding really good CHEAP buys and I like it! I'm not gonna move on these until someone give me the green light- what do you think?
Miss Orange if you're nasty...

Consumer-itis...
I like buying stuff... nail polish, earrings, shoes... something everyday. The funny thing is, I don't have a problem with it. I like it- it makes me feel good. So today, while i was working, I indulged myself with a little retail therapy...
These are Minnetonka boots- they're pretty hot right now because you can match them up with anything and they look good. They retail at $42.00 at www.shopstyle.com.
There was a DSW Shoe Warehouse close by so I decided to pop in. Anyone who has read my blog knows I o.d. on shoes. I walked the isles, flirting with the pumps and caressing the boots. Like the good shopper I am, I went through the clearance section. The $20 I had in pocket was burning a hole in my jeans, maybe because it knew what I was about to stumble upon. I have big feet so the clearance section can either go really well or fashion tragic. In the racks were 2 pairs of Minnetonka boots- one high pair for $78.95 & a low pair for $38.95. I don't know if you are all that hip to DSW, but let me put you up on things; their clearance section has marked down shoes with ADDITIONAL percent off AND if you join their shoe buyers club (I did- stop laughing! I deal with my issues- lol), you get coupons in the mail. These aren't no punk coupons either- I got one for $10 off and you can save them & combine them with others as long as you have no more than 3 at a time. That's $30 off a sale price!!! So since I'm walking baby steps to get past my consumer-itis, I put the boots on hold and did the responsible thing.... I told myself if I kept thinking about them, I'd return to buy them. I went back into work and guess what?- someone had them on! She said they were some of the most comfy & easy shoes to wear, especially when you're on your feet all day. That was my sign!!! I remembered I had a $10 coupon in my car, a $20 in my pocket & they were 30% off the sale price. I ended up paying $17.43 for my Minnetonka ankle boots!!!
The tall ones retail for around $84 but if you're a shopper like me, you can definitely find them for less. Try a thrift store also- the o.g. version of these boots have a suede sole. My mom had a pair back in the day that my sister hijacked and loves to life. You can do skinny jeans & a tee for a Saturday visit to the hairdresser, a cute dress for work or a cardigan, jean skirt & cami for a movie date with these boots. I'm telling you, these are a nice lil' pair of shoes to have on standby- especially when you can get them for less than $20 bucks!

Momma is back!
I dropped the ball and let my life pass me by! Stay tuned cause I'm getting all sparkly and new! I am supposed to be working but the shoe bug hit me and gotta find a fit to match them- what do you think?
I found these on Amazon.com for $35.95 and I love them! I put them in an earlier post and just happened to stumble upon them a second time- in an 11! (Yes I'm a sasquatch!) They look like money but they aren't. Black velvet is so 80's- think lace gloves and Vanity 6- lol. The red soles are kind of Leboutain... although I hate knock-offs, these might not fit the category. I know I could make them the shit... what do you think? I tell you guys to trust my taste and I don't buy it too!?! Time to change all that.....
I learned something in the last few days... time passes by regardless of what you do with it so its time for me to do something with mine. I'll start by buying shoes!

Ummm....
So who the heck told me to be busy at work with a bunch of stuff? The last week or so has had me nursing paper cuts and frayed nerves, but what better way to feel better than to shop?
My thing for the summer, other than looking fab is feeling and attracting fab. I've decided to use my mind and my other attributes (curvy waist, cute face and gift of gab) to get me all the things I want in my life. It's Summer time- why not put all this to use?!
This dress is by Triple5Soul- too cute! Its called the Cabana Dress for $76.00- I can do 76 bucks! Peep the back of the dress- me from the back in this will knock em' down!
Go to Karmaloop.com- if you sign up for the mailing list, they sometimes give discounts on shipping (which can kick your budget into overdrive when you shop online). I love them!
These are perfect for this dress-
LAMB Daly2 at Shoes.com for $259.00. I really love these. They can be dressed up or down. I love gold anything and with a set of shiny, shaved legs, I'll be good to go (AFTER PAYING ALL THE BILLS FIRST!).
I love old school stuff with an updated twist- look at this
I found this on Beklina.com for $154.00. That's not too bad for an outfit you can use year round. With it being summer, nothing on your arms for a night out would be perfect. Later in the year when it starts to cool off, throw a colored cardigan over it with some ankle boots. I can see this having been worn by my mommy in a disco- lol.
Throw this belt over it-
Chinese Laundry Sueded Stretch Belt, Belisi.com for less than $20. The white one in the picture is okay, I just like this color and the gold hardware to dress it up.
OR
This belt, which is actually called an obi. I like this belt a little better. The jumpsuit has pockets so that's my only hesitation to pair it with this. I love the extra bit of flash it gives.
I used to laugh at the Home Shopping Network but I can't now- this belt is hot. $24.90 at HSN.com.
Then slip on (gotta love these)
With the wide, long legs of this jumper this will make you look taller. Just a littlebit of shoe peeking out of a stovepipe leg lengthens your legs. Tall or short, this is a sexy, multi-purpose shoe. It comes in a few colors but this particular combination is my fav. $134.95 at Endless.com.
I hope all of you have found something really cute to wear tomorrow to watch the bombs bursting in air. Once I leave the plantation, I may hit the mall and work on something cute for cheap.
Enjoy the bbq!
