Its week two of the "New Day New Shoe" challenge. First week was fun, since the weather was so nice, I haven't had to pull out any Fall Shoes just yet.. so I will definently take this challenge into November... I'm finding shoes I haven't worn in years... and since I can't part with any of them.. I'm gonna wear em.. LOL

Shoe Of the Day ~ Yellow Suede Round Toe Sling Back (Nine West ~ 2005)



I paired this show with the beautiful Royal Blue Vintage Dress (B Thrifty $1.50) I couldn't wait to wear. These two colors really Pop together. It's supposed to get up to 74 today so this dress is perfect...

New Day ~ New Shoe ~ Week 1 ~ Friday....

Week 1 ~ Shoe Challenge Complete....

I must say it has been a fun week, picking a shoe and planning a outfit to compliment them... It's been such nice weather here that I can spread out this challenge into November when i'll probably have to pack away some of my fun Spring/Summer shoes to hibernate for the winter :((

Todays shoe is from Asos.. I purchased them early summer and hadn't found a reason to wear them. They are a Wedge Sneaker/Bootie lol.. Not sure if this is outfit is the best match for them, but it's Friday and I wasn't dressing up for work today haha..

Hope you enjoy just the same :)












Hope you all have a wonderful weekend... It's going to be near the 80's here in the Chicagoland area so I'm planning to take full advantage of this lingering Indian Summer... Enjoy and Be Safe :)

New Day ~ New Shoe..... Week 1 ~ Wednesday

Today's shoe is a oldy that I had completely forgotten about... purchased maybe 5 years ago, they had been gathering dust on the bottom of the shoe rack lol.. I'm so glad Shana from Color Blind started this shoe challenge because it's given me reason to really look at some shoes I wouldn't normally choose to wear, just because they aren't the latest and greatest.. but still very cute ;)

Nine West Patent Animal Print T-Strap ~ Circa 2006






What I Wore:
Dress - Vintage ~ SA Thrift

Personal Style Challenge: New Shoe Every Day ~ Week 1 ~ Monday

Hello.... Happy Monday :))

How many of you have TONS of shoes.. at least 100 pair or more.. but find yourself wearing the same 10 pair... while the other 90 plus pair sit in your closet just waiting to be worn LOL. WELL... I have decided to challenge myself to wear a different pair of shoes each day (Monday - Friday) for the entire month of October. I may extend into November seeing as that is really only 20 pairs of shoes. I have at least 200 pairs.. some are Spring / Summer.. so the weather may not permit me to wear them.. But October  shouldn't be a problem... I'm kind of excited to do this.. and see what outfits are inspired by each daily shoe choice... 

Week #1 - Monday's Shoe of Choice....
