While I’ve enjoyed this shoe-a-day project, it has caused me to turn a bit more critical eye on my shoes. Several times, I’ve blogged a pair only to decide that was the last time I’d wear them. Nothing like a good camera with decent lighting to show you just how poorly you treat your footwear.
I was particularly sad to get rid of this pair. Ankle straps are one of my favorite shoe features – second only to bows, probably. From the picture above, you probably can’t really tell why they had to go. But, from this angle…
you can see that they did. RIP cheap but cute espadrilles.
As much as I don’t want to admit it, school is back in session, football is about to kick-off, and it’s about time to start pulling out the transition clothes. A good shirt-dress is a great way to move from summer to fall – a plaid or other less-summery pattern conjures up images of corn mazes and bonfires. But, a light-weight fabric and the shorter length keeps you cool when you live in Georgia where it will still be 108 degrees until October 15.
And, when the leaves really do start to turn, switch out your wedges for some booties, and you’re all set for autumn!
