It’s been crazy around here so posting has been put on the back burner. BUT, I just wanted to share the fact that I finally found these boots! These boots that I’ve been drooling over since I saw them at Target and on Target’s website.
If you’ve been following me on Twitter, I’ve banned myself from Target. I went there once to get fish food which cost about $2.50. I left that day with my receipt showing $249+. That same week, I went there 3x and spent way more than I should have…Between getting things to organize around the house and clothes for me and the girls, it was just too much and NONE of that was for Christmas shopping (I still think it’s too early, though I’m getting bit by the bug slowly, but surely).
However, I saw these boots in the store and I just had to have them! Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size in the store (7) and since I couldn’t try them I didn’t want to buy them online in a smaller size. They only had 5, 5.5, 6.5 and 11 available online. I was going to buy the 6.5 online, but didn’t want to bother with shipping (they’re $49.99 so it doesn’t qualify for the “spend $50 and get free shipping special) and having to possibly return them, etc.
Yesterday, the girls & I met up w/my SIL and my niece because I wanted to get my niece the same dress and boots as my girls so they could match on Thanksgiving (I’m weird like that…totally taking after my mom who used to dress my brother/sister the same and my cousins and I the same). While going to get the boots for my niece, I decided to look at the Women’s Shoes and lo and behold, there they were. Size 7s! I tried them on and they were too big!!! I started to frantically look for a 6.5 and again, lo and behold, there they were on the top shelf (almost missed it).
How cute are they? Totally would go so nicely with some dresses, skirts and even jeans! I cannot wait to wear them! They’re not as comfy as the reviews on the website said, but I think that’s because my right foot is a bit bigger/wider, but whatever…I don’t plan on walking miles in them. I also scored on some clearance dresses and so I think I have my Thanksgiving outfit ready…
I just love that Target has so many cute clothes now. I don’t even really hit any other store for my fashion choices. I’m frugal like that, but I just need to remember to buy in small doses!

Ok, so I feel like I need a new look too and so, before I do something drastic and chop off all my hair again like last year, I shall start with the eyes…
Which do you think would look best? Gray? Green? Pure Hazel?
(click on pics to view them in a bigger size…and um, let’s ignore the overly cheesy smile again, mmmkay? thanks 
)
GRAY?
GREEN?
PURE HAZEL?
Here are my eyes – au natural:
So…what says you?

Beth over at ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com hosts the weekly “You Capture” challenge and this week is my first time joining. This week’s theme is “YOU” – as in capture yourself. Truly challenging for me as I have a problem w/taking pics of myself (kinda shy, hands too shaky, flash doesn’t work well w/the mirror, my arms are short, etc..)…so, sorry for the poor quality of the photos. Hoping to have a better week next week!
Well, here goes:

It’s Gotta Be the Shoes…
Ahh yes…I love www.endless.com. I ordered 2 pairs of boots from them Wednesday early in the evening (i think it was before 7:00pm EST). Thursday afternoon, my boots arrived. Behold the boots that will make me shop even more b/c now I need to get outfits to go with them because more than any other accessory, the shoes make the outfit…(whew…that was one long sentence 
)
Madden Girl – Singerr in TAN (on MY right foot) - I now want this in gray. SO comfy, but came a bit big. I probably should have ordered a half size smaller. Still, that leaves room for me to double on socks on those cold winter days (again, I don’t know when I’ll really be out b/c I work from home, but still…I think I just don’t want to return them I love them so much…lol)
Rampage – Berlynn in CAMEL (on MY left foot) - Seemingly comfy as well, but I don’t know how long I can stand on these. I’m just not used to wearing heels anymore. But for high heels, they’re comfy.
Now, the shopping madness will begin becuase I need to get nicer tops, sweater dresses or just something that will go with the awesomeness of these boots. I’m in love and they’re not even real leather! So, maybe a sweater dress (that doesn’t accentuate my belly b/c then it will look like a maternity dress), some skirts and leggings? hmmm…Plus, I have 2 more pairs coming – a pair of gray boots and that brown menswear shoe I mentioned in my previous post. Oh man, I need to stop. I can’t shop too much. I mean, we are in a recession. BUT, like I told my girlfriend (after she called me “Imelda”[Marcos]), , I’m merely restocking my shoe supply. Over the summer, I cleared out closets and the basement. I gave out a lot of my old shoes and boots b/c they no longer fit me (since I had my babies, my feet grew!), were out of style or b/c they got all nasty and moldy from an old flood we had (and the bin that had my shoes wasn’t shut tight). So, yeah, I’m restocking.
I just have to remind myself not to go crazy b/c Christmas is around the corner and so is December…the end of another quarter which means possible layoffs and with this economy? I don’t feel safe any longer, but I’ll always have my boots
