My Closet Inventory

Inspired by Sarah of Classroom Chic, I cleaned and purged my closet (well J and I actually share a closet). I decided to also complete an inventory to help identify any holes in my wardrobe. Well, I have more than enough stuff and certainly don't NEED anything else. Honestly, now I feel I should purge my closet more!!

Here is my inventory. I didn't include my "bumming around the house" or "gym clothes".

Thursday 1.13 + update on shoe saga

I really love this dress--from the neckline to the print, love it!

Dress: Ross
Tights: Nine West
Shoes: Bandolino, TJ Maxx
Necklace: the keys are from American Eagle, purchased in Seattle a few years ago. The chain is my own from another necklace

Also, you have seen that I've been struggling to find my perfect black platform heel. The first pair I tried were the Franco Sarto Luxe Heels. They were a too big and honestly, I don't think I'm ready for the heel! Baby steps :)

The second pair I ordered were the Naturalizer Lennox, I wrote a review in my last post. Super cute, but at $80.00, I don't think I should have to make these work for me.

I was ready to take a break from the search. However, TJ Maxx saved the day! I stopped by to look for more tights. As I wandered through the shoe aisle (conveiniently through my shoe size), I spotted Black Platform Bandolinos! Could it be? Could they fit me and save me money??

Score!!



Cushy footbed! Stylish! Only $29.99! No heel slippage!!!

Thanks TJ Maxx! You saved me quite a bit of money on this one (no, I'm not being paid for this, I just love TJ Maxx!)

Review: Naturalizer Lennox shoes

I have been coveting these shoes for quite a long time! I finally ordered them and received them yesterday. I wore them to work today. My thoughts?

Pros

1. Looks like the picture
2. Stylish
3. Great N5 technology makes them nice & cushy

Cons

1. My foot slipped out of the shoe all day
2. The toe box was narrow and rubbed my pinky toe all day
3. Too much "toe cleveage""

I'm disappointed. Maybe I had too high of hopes? I also should have read the reviews more carefully. I'm going to give myself a few more days to think about it, but most likely, these are going back.

Maybe I just need to buy shoes the old fashioned way--in person!

Tuesday 1.11

I checked the weather report when I got back from the gym this morning. I swear it said our high was to be in the 60's today and the sun would come out. WRONG! It never got above the low 50's plus no sun. I would have worn a thicker sweater to work had I know that.



Sweater: Ralph Lauren
Pants: NY & Co
Shoes: Reba, Dillard's Clearance Outlet
Necklace: Gift from J
Earrings: Chaps, Kohl's

I got my new Naturalizer Lennox black heels in the mail today! The N5 technology is amazing, I must say. I was sad to say "bye-bye" to the Franco Sarto shoes, but they just didn't work out :(

Monday 1.10

No snowpocolapyse for us Floridians! We did get quite a bit of rain and cooler temps though. Hope you all enjoyed your snow day!

Onto the OOTD..not sure what's going on with my face! I usually smile! Maybe because it is Monday?
