"Love is.....higher than a mountain....Love is.....thicker than water!"



I think the style trick up my sleeve is SHOES!  Shoes can absolutely make or save an outfit.  Take any ol' granny dress and add a great pair of shoes and VOILA!!!  Mavis, you have a look!  We've all agreed, style has nothing to do with money.  It's about putting things together in a way that bet represents you and the way you feel.  But if you're going to spend a little bit of money, I say, get one or two pair of amazing shoes. 

I found these adorable girls on ebay.  I think Nine West may be one of my favorite shoe brands.  They're not cheap, but they're very affordable.  These are brand new, all leather and I got them for $25!!  C'mon!  That's crazy!  I started panicking slightly when I took them out of the box, trying to find just the right way to wear them.  Finally, I decided that anything I could wear a black shoe with, I can wear these with.  It goes back to that overthinking thing.

My husband LOVED me in this outfit!  He had to go to work and he kept saying, "You can't leave the house looking like that if I'm not with you!"   I do love my man!!!!!

By the way, without the shoes, I don't think there's $5 in the whole outfit!  Again, it's not about money....you can find great deals everywhere and create an "expensive" look.

    So true! Shoes can make the outfit sing, and those shoes are *killer*. I love the skirt too, what a great find.

    Those shoes are amazing! And they're perfect with this outfit.

    I totally agree that shoes can make or break an outfit. I have a couple thrifted items I haven't worn because I don't feel I have the right shoes. Yet. I'm working on it though.

    It's great how this outfit is a classic look and then you throw in the shoes and it is a whole different thing! Great head-to-toe look! - Katy

    I love the shoes, too! And I think they'd look amazing with tights in the fall.

    Isn't it nice when our partners appreciate our style? Mine does. I ask his opinion all the time. He's got a very good eye.

    You loook sexy!! You are right about the shoes, they can make or ruin an outfit, the same thing goes for hair I think. I've had days where my hair is just not cooperating and it always makes me feel not so good about the whole outfit.

    It's so true, as is the corollary, taught to me by Mom: The wrong shoes can ruin an outfit.

    You are my new shoe role model. I don't think I'll ever be comfortable wearing heels of that height, but I would really love to try and capture the joy (and butt-kicking style!) that so many of your shoes create.

    That man of yours is a keeper. The shoes look great and were a fantastic bargain, but I'm admiring the skirt!

    I agree those shoes could go with any outfit a black shoe would go with. Also agree that shoes finish/add polish to an outfit. Something I'm personally working on. I have a habit of wearing my shoes to death.

    I love those shoes! Taylor at It's My Cardi wears a lot of Nine West shoes and swears by them as well. I'm also jealous of the color you have on your legs -- your skin color. Mine are fish belly white, so I always feel a bit self conscious when I wear dark shoes with no stockings.

    Serene ~ I love love love these shoes! I'm seriously in love with them. The whole outfit is fabulous, but those shoes...sigh. You look amazing as always. I've been MIA the last 5 weeks...things have been super busy, but I wanted to check in w/my blogger ladies. Hope all is well and you're having a great summer! ~ Susan
