Welcome to week 18 of “You Choose the Shoes”. I am happy to report that the denim shoes finally won NOT! Believe it or not, it was almost a tie but Ms. Elle squeaked ahead at the last minute.
Thank you all for voting and especially for making me feel good with those “you looked so young comments”!
It seems like denim just can’t win em! I know these heels were nice but must agree that they were a bit much with the denim maxi dress. I did however, get suggestions on what to wear with them…so here is one way, what do you think?
Now onto this week’s contenders who are vying to be the chosen one for this colorful maxi dress.
Both lend a little Island flare for the end of the summer. First choice are the Montego Bay slides from Payless versus Charlotte Russe slides or as I like to call them “lady in red”.
I love wearing slides with maxi dresses, because they are so comfy to slip on and easy to kick off under my desk or while driving the car.
Do you think the Montego Bay stripes are a bit too much and clash with all the colors in the dress?
How about the red Charlotte Russe? Is it just enough of one color to pull in the red from the top as not to be overpowered by the other colors in the dress – what do you think?
which will it be, the lady in red?
OR
Montego Bay Stripes
Before you choose, take a look at them solo:
Okay, after leaving a comment below hop over to see Karen aka MrsLookingGood because she has some awesome Up Close and Personal features!
welcome to Week 17 of “You Choose the Shoes“. The yellow Mossimo Pumps were definitely the #1 favorite in last week’s contest. Most of you felt it highlighted the yellow in the dress and I totally agree, thank you all for the comments.
This week we are going with a more casual look. I actually have two pairs of denim shoes, but unlike those studded cut outs these are much more comfortable. They are going up against “Ms. Elle” another very comfortable pair of summer slides or slip-ons.
Each pair are contenders to be the best match for this uber comfortable t-shirt dress from Rainbow Shops. I only wish it came in more than two colors because it was so comfy that I could wear one everyday.
Worn with these Elle slides the outfit is perfect for a weekend of afternoon shopping or outdoor dining.
The denim straps are also comfy casual and I think they bring a little more attention to the bracelets – what do you think?
So which one would you choose?
Ms. Elle – grazing in the tall grass
poolside
or
the denim straps?
But before you decide, take a look at them solo
Okay, have you made a decision?
So which pair is it going to be?
Ms. Elle or
Madame Denim?
You choose the shoes then leave a comment below. I will be back to respond after reading a few blog posts over at Bloggy Mom’s linkup party.
well last week’s contest proved one thing – you CAN wear too much denim, the votes were overwhelmingly in favor of the wedge heels. Not that you didn’t like the denim shoes, it was just that they were too much with the maxi denim dress.
I now need to find an appropriate outfit to wear with them because I love them, otherwise, they’ll sit in the closet for another year.
This week’s contenders are Target verses Rainbow Shops. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen the two pairs of sandals that I purchased a few weeks back, 2 pair for $20, definitely a deal that I couldn’t pass up. I got a pair of flats and these white heels.
The also came in black and cognac which I should have also gotten. These yellow Mossimo pumps were purchased last year as part of a major shoes haul from Target – remember that one?
The dress is one of those “I can’t believe someone actually donated this” Goodwill find. I absolutely love how it fits and look forward to wearing it every summer!
It has a unique collar which is another reason why I like it so much. Okay, now take a look at the shoes and then choose which pair goes better with the dress.
Will it be the white sandals from the Rainbow Shops
OR
the yellow pumps from Target?
Are you ready to choose the shoes?
Leave your comment below and when I get back from the Blog Hop over at Bloggy Moms, I’ll respond with my comments.
Welcome to Week 15 of You Choose The Shoes, I am glad that so many of you look forward to this weekly featurejust asmuch as I enjoy posting it.
Last week’s contenders were fun and the votes for each were coming in fast and furious but I think the red belt helped to push the winner over the top.
Now, this week’s contenders are a pair of newbies versus a pair of veterans. The newbies have been in my closet for years yet never saw the light of day and the vets are a pair that have been around and are definitely well worn.
Believe it or not, the newbies are the denim cut-outs with studs…I know right! Nope I’ve never worn them nor do I remember where I purchased them from, all I do know is that I was never going to get rid of them.
The wooden wedges are a summer favorite and I believe were purchased at either Ross or Rugged Wearhouse.
The denim dress was thrifted from Goodwill, bracelet and ring from Old Navy on clearance for $1.99 each! I got 6 different color bracelets and 3 rings, you know I couldn’t pass up that deal.
The chain necklace and earring set was purchased at the Rainbow Shops.
Now back to the shoes, which pair goes better with this
denim maxi dress?
Have you made a decision yet? Do you think denim on denim is too much? Let’s take another look at them with the dress and see.
What do you think?
Wood Wedge Sandals
OR
Denim cut-out heels – YOU CHOOSE NOW
(gotta love my expression!)
While you make a decision and leave a comment I’m going to run over to see Living in Mommywood and Whitney Nic James, then I’ll be back to respond. See ya later!
BTW, we are going to pick up Malik from Bowie this evening – I can’t wait!!!
How did you do with last week’s selection? It’s so funny because sometimes I get immediate comments on a particular pair and other times not so much, I guess it all depends on the outfit.
A few of you stepped outside of the box with the white wedges from Urbanog, I guess because of the colorful and sassy skirt, but the winner of last week’s You Choose the Shoes were both pair – yes, ladies and gentlemen it was a tie!!!
There’s a first time for everything and I want to thank you all for the vote.
Now on to this week’s contenders, which are both fun and funky, so I’m thinking this may too may end in a tie but we’ll see.
The red ones are a previous purchase from Rugged Wearhouse and the Black and Beige are a recent purchase from The Shoe Dept.
Okay, now I know you may say, the red because of the belt, but look how great the colors match up in the dress with the black and beige pair.
The dress is from Ross and take a look at the side zippers, they are brass which is also the same metal in the rivets on the shoes.
I chose to wear brass accessories as well, ring and watch are both from Avon and I can’t remember where I got the bracelet.
Are you ready to make a choice?
Will is be the red sandals?
OR
will it be the black and beige sandals?
One last look!
Leave your comments below. I am heading over to read some posts at the Bloggy Mom’s June Blog Hop and when I get back, I’ll respond.
Hello friends, and welcome to Week 13 of this fun feature “You Choose The Shoes”! Have you been keeping a tally of your wins and losses?
Most of you agreed that last week’s contenders were each perfectly suited for the dress, but as Glenda stated, it all depended on how I was feeling or my mood. So without further adieu the winner of last week’s contest was the sexy peep toe pumps!
Today we have repeat contenders, they are
Avon verses Urbanog.com
The shoes are contending to be matched with this colorful thrifted skirt from Goodwill that I paired with a simple white t-shirt from Walmart. Actually the shirt is from their activewear collection, but since I am not an active exerciser, it’s being worn as a regular t-shirt.
This is one of the other belts that I got from Rugged Wearhouse for only $1.00. The crystal bracelets were also $1.00 from Michael’s and I don’t remember where I purchased the earrings.
Okay, so are you ready…which pair do you choose, the ruffled white wedges from Urbanog.com
Here we are again at another week of “You Choose The Shoes” and I am delighted that so many of you have commented that you look forward to this weekly feature. Trust me, I am enjoying it as much as you are and since I have so too many pairs of shoes, this is going to last for quite some time, at least until the first snow fall.
Now last week might have been a “gimme” because of the statement I made about the black and white sandals from Avon, so you know who won right?
This week’s contenders are once again regulars to the party, they are Avon versus Target
Open toe versus closed toe but they are both patent leather.
This is one of many sheath dresses purchased from Burlington Coat factory and tomorrow’s post will be featuring more of these summer sheath dresses.
Are you ready to choose, will it be the purple and black color block pumps from Avon
Thank you for voting and for all of your comments in last week’s You Choose The Shoes contest. I hope you are having as much fun as I am with this mid-week blog feature. There were many comments and suggestions but the overwhelming majority chose the UrbanOg sandals.
This week’s contenders includes a recently purchased pair of sandals from Payless versus the Paula Abdul Forever collection from Avon.
The fuchsia sandals are by far my favorite pair of the season, I am so glad that I decided to stop in at Payless during a recent sale at the Exton Square Mall. Not that I don’t love these black and white sandals from Avon because they are great to wear with different outfits and are my go-to shoes for church.
If I am not mistaken, this faux wrap dress was purchased at JC Penney and the colors work well with both pair of sandals, what do you think? I am very upset that JC Penney was shut down at the Exton Square Mall as they had some great clearance bargains.
It was such a bright sunny Sunday that it was hard to keep from squinting, so concentrate on the shoes instead of my eyes!
So which shoes do you choose?
Have you decided – take another look.
Can’t wait to see which pair you chose, have a wonderful day!
Leave your comments below and I’ll respond when I get back from The Pleated Poppy.
Hello friends…you know what day it is…it’s Hump Day but it’s also “You Choose The Shoes” day!
Last week’s contenders were definitely not in a tight race but the comments for both were coming in fast and furious, however, you know there can only be one winner so congratulations to everyone who voted for….
CARLOS SANTANA’S SEXY SANDALS!!!
I’m expecting this week’s contender’s to be a bit of a challenge only because they both look good with the outfit and are both equally comfortable. So let’s take a look, shall we:
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you saw this outfit already but so you know the skirt is from JC Penney and that the top was thrifted from Goodwill. The iPad case and watch believe it or not were purchased from Avon and if you haven’t checked out a catalog lately click here.
The first pair of shoes are xhiliration via Target and were purchased several years ago. I wear them at least 4 times during the summer months because I love the mustard color and they are very comfortable. The second pair were purchased online at Urbanog.com, and were part of a major shoe haul where I ordered more than 5 pairs on the same day (here).
I love the pops of neon colors which was also very popular in the mid to late 80’s.
Okay, it’s time to choose the shoes, will it be the mustard yellow xhiliration wedges from Target
OR
the peach sandals from Urbanog.com?
I can tell this is going to be another tough decision which is why I like having you in my closet!
You choose the shoes, then leave me a comment as to why you chose them. In the meantime I’ll be heading over to see the ladies at the Personal Style Linkup, then I’ll be back to respond to your comments.
Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world and welcome back to another week of “You Choose The Shoes“. Once again, I wish to thank all of you who voted in last week’s contest and in an overwhelming majority the winners were:
JESSICA! I think it was the peep-toe thing that pushed her over the top, sorry Christian, but you were more of a winter shoe anyway. Now on to this week’s contenders, and once again, I chose to step outside of the box with the mixing of patterns but only in one pair.
The pink plaid pumps were purchased a few years ago from Rugged Wearhouse, I remember they also had them in green but only a size 6 was available and that is definitely too small for me!
The Carlos Santana pink sandals were thrifted from Goodwill last winter, which is the best time to thrift summer shoes!
One of my favorite summer sheath dresses is this black and white one because of the design. I have several hanging in my closets and my plan is to do a post on Summer Sheaths, so stay tuned.
The bracelets are also from Rugged Wearhouse, my go-to store for costume jewelry.
Okay, get ready to choose the shoes, will it be the pink sandals thrifted from Goodwill – or –
The pink plaid pumps from Rugged Wearhouse
I can’t wait to read all of your comments.
I’ll be hanging out with the ladies over at Whitney’s Personal Style Linkup, so come on over if you have a chance.
