Buy The Shoes & Oh, Hey Girl! Link-Up

You know the quote, “Life is short, buy the shoes”? Well, I did just that. Back in April as I was updating my spring wardrobe, I had my eye out for a pair of floral pumps or flats. I found these beauties at DSW but at $70 they were way above my budget. I searched high and low and while I found a couple other cute alternatives for less, they didn’t quite fit or wow me in the same way this pair did. So I decided to just do it…to “buy the shoes.” I justified my purchase as a birthday present to myself that I could wear during my night out of celebration but also I have a wedding later this summer and thought they would look adorable paired with this midi skirt. While this look that I am wearing today is better suited for a more casual event, I think these pumps, midi and a cute lace crop top would make for a fun wedding look! πŸ™‚

    I would have bought those gorgeous shoes too. I just love them and the blue midi too. I bought pretty floral pumps from Target this year. The outfit you described sounds gorgeous for a wedding.

    Sometimes you really do just have to buy the shoes, and I think you are totally justified in this pair! They really make the outfit here, I LOVE the whole look! I did that with my pair of red lace-up flats–they were over my usual shoe budget, but I’d been thinking about them for so long that I decided to just go for it. I’m so glad I did! Life IS short πŸ™‚

    Those are the prettiest shoes! I’ve been wanting a pair of floral pumps for awhile myself, but I like you I struggle with the price…mostly because I feel I wouldn’t get a lot of wear out of them as I don’t dress up much.
