I bought two pairs of really cute shoes at Charlotte Russe, which is a store I’d never bothered to shop in before because the merchandise looked a bit “young”... oh, what I’ve been missing out on! The clothes didn’t do anything for me, but the shoes are fun, and oh so affordable. So… three pairs to go before I complete this goal.

I am trying to get myself hooked on the gym now that my boyfriend has cheated and dumped me and I will have to be back out on the dating scene. I’ve lost weight, which is good, but I need to be fit! Currently I can’t get much past 15 minutes on the elliptical before my face starts turning crazy colors and I sweat enough to float a barge.
So when I last left this goal, I had bought five pairs and planned to buy five more. Well, it’s been months and months, so I’m sure I’ve bought five since then, but I think I will leave my buying goal at five since I could still use some more style. I recently had some great shoe luck at Goodwill, finding a pair of barely-worn Ralph Lauren boots for $4, and also a pretty pair of ballet flats with Asian-style sequined embroidery (unfortunately they gave me heel blisters, but hopefully the shoes will break in well). I’m not counting those, though… the goal resumes today!
Still mad about the adorable pair I couldn’t buy at Kohl’s this week… really funky leopard-print wedges with peep toes. Not my style at all, but for some reason I worshiped them. There were two pairs left on the clearance rack, but in each shoebox, the left shoe was a size 9 and the right shoe was a size 8. How the hell does that work?
