Fashion Friday: Shoes with Bows

So one of my favorite boards on Pinterest is just for shoes. (If you don’t follow me on Pinterest, you should!) Not necessarily shoes I actually want to buy, but more like fantasy shoes that catch my attention and are totally my style.

As an aside, curating my favorite fashion pins on Pinterest has absolutely helped me hone in on my personal style in a way I never expected. I highly recommend this if you want to find a way to shop more selectively. I thought my 15:30 project last year would help me narrow my style, but it really didn’t. Pinterest, on the other hand, definitely HAS helped.

So I discovered that I have a major thing for bows. I find this fact a bit surprising, but the evidence is right there on my shoe board…half the shoes that caught my eye had some kind of bow. So I’m gonna show you a few of my favorites today!

As you can tell, I really love stiletto heels. Unfortunately my knees do not love them, as proven this week when I wore them to host a Tex-Mex girls night at my house. My knee pain is likely patella-femeral syndrome from my running, but stilettos really seem to exacerbate it.

So I guess I really need to find more flats with bows 🙂

Fashion Friday: Easter Shoes

This morning we have yet another episode of Ask Sarah! This week I got a question from my friend Lisa Stauber of MileHiMama about what kind of shoes to wear with this super cute Easter dress she got at Dress Barn.



I mean really, can you get any cuter for under $60? The best part is that she said it can be washed in her washing machine.

The obvious answer here is white shoes would match this dress, but she emphasized a need for comfort in her shoes and said she’d not found many options in white. Turquoise shoes would be very cute but harder to find. Nude or beige shoes are very popular right now and would work just fine as well. So I did a little looking around and here are some options I came up with.

First I checked Target because their price points are always pretty low. I thought these Target sandals would be adorable, but Lisa said she usually finds Target shoes very uncomfortable.

So then I found these Fabulaire slides at Rack Room Shoes. They are cute, very cheap, and I think the whole Fabulaire line is supposed to be a little more cushioning on your feet. We have a Rack Room Shoes store in the Katy Mills Mall and you can always buy online.

Then I looked in one of my standby resources for affordable shoes, Famous Footwear. You may remember the incredible deals I got there several months ago. Famous Footwear has a large selection of reasonably priced shoes, both in store and online. Keeping Lisa’s need for comfort and affordability in mind, I found these LifeStride slides that are less than $30 and look cute and supportive.

As an added bonus, Famouns Footwear has a 15% off printable coupon available, expiring this weekend. Can’t beat that right?

But I really want to know…do you follow the rule that white shoes should only be worn between Easter and Labor Day? Do you even wear white shoes anymore?
