More on Comfort


Top, similar, similar: maurices. Jeans: SO. 
Necklace: Bass Outlet. Shoes: Privo.


It's nice to find clothes that feel like PJs and look like, well, not PJs, right? I've always been pretty good at finding the comfortable things. I like soft fabrics with stretch and a loose, but flattering pant. Exhibit A: today's' outfit. Super casual, but stylish, current and way comfy.

And shoes? Comfort please! The hubs hates shoes shopping with me (I rarely take him shopping) because I hem and haw and try them on and walk around and then hem and haw again and again. But your feet are important. They are your foundation. If your feet don't feel well it can effect your entire body. I started wearing orthodics at an early age and have always had to wear "good" shoes for my health. (I'm not saying always wear "good" shoes, but I'm supposed to.) You can buy stylish shoes that are good for you.

Do you buy "good" shoes?

Comfort and a Little about Shoes

Sweater: American Eagle. Cami: maurices. 
Jeans, similar: SO. Shoes: Naot. 
Jewelry: FableBay Etsy.
Jacket: Tulle.


What can I say. I was chilly and just wanted to wear PJs to work. But that wouldn't have gone over too well, so I opted for cozy and bright. A simple sweater and jeans with shoes that feel like slippers.
If I'm going to be on my feet I usually choose my Naots. (I have 3 pair.) What's the point of having shoes if they aren't comfortable nearly all. day. long.? I know it's always good to have those few pair that you can sort of walk around in for that special night out or those cute shoes you had to have just because.

BUT, I feel if you are going to wear shoes daily for work/school they should be super comfy AND cute.  Perhaps I have strong feelings about this because I've had feet, knee and back issues from a young age. Or maybe it's my mom's voice that always told me to take care of my body by wearing good-for-me shoes and quality make-up. Or maybe I just like being comfortable. But I make it a point to only purchase the best, as often as I can, in shoes.

Now cute is in the eye of the beholder and I'm pretty bold with my shoe choices. So, some may not agree with me. But I have noticed that I have some shoes that I don't wear because I don't want to suffer by hour 3 or 4. It's not worth it to me. That means I have a good handful of shoes I'll be putting in a box. I'll see if I miss them and if I don't they are outta here.

Do your feet suffer for fashion?


Happy Hump Day!

Chilly Spring Days

 Sweater: INC. Jeans: WHBM. 
Shoes: Naturalizer. Handbag: ShoeDazzle.


Sometimes I just want a simple outfit. No bells and whistles. No necklace driving me crazy or earrings swinging back and forth. With this sweater it's easy to throw on and go. You can't really see it in the photo, but there is a strip of sequins from neckline to the waist. No baubles necessary to jazz up this piece.

Also, got a new handbag! I love ShoeDazzle's bags! I have three of them and they are all wonderful. I had originally ordered a different style and the zipper broke, so I sent ti back, hoping to get a new one, but they sold out. I'm so glad they did, because I LOVE this one so much more. It's big enough to hold everything for a regular day and small enough to grab when I go shopping. I am also loving the handbags that give you a choice of shoulder or cross-body straps - so convenient.

Are you a handbag lover? Do you change it often?
