Shoes and To-Do's Part 2

Sorry I left you all hanging yesterday. By the time I got home, I was pretty tired from running around all day. I really didn't intend for such a big build up to the reveal, and now I feel you might be a little disappointed. So without further delay, here's my new purchase.
They're not fancy heels, but I love them! (and they'll definitely get worn more than heels!) I saw these sandals on a girl who was working at Anthropologie, and I told her how pretty I thought they were. She instantly said, "Oh...Stuart Weitzman. Got them at Nordstrom." I, kind of, just forgot about them because I knew they'd be pretty expensive, until I hit the Neiman Marcus sale! Originally, they were $235, but I picked them up for $72! Score!

I guess I've been on a bit of a shopping spree, because I bought another pair of sandals last week too! Only these are SKY HIGH! I'd been looking for a nude shoe, and while this isn't exactly what I had in mind, the price was too good to pass up! They remind me of the Stuart Weitzman espadrilles that Jennifer Aniston has been seen wearing. Here's the SW version:

And here are the Jessica Simpson shoes that I bought for $43!!!
 
Even though they're not espadrilles, the straps are the same width, and wrap the ankle in the same way. I would normally pass up heels that are this high, but the platform makes them feel SO much lower.  I got a fresh pedicure yesterday, so later I'll post pics of them on.

  9. Love both your shoe purchases Bren! I know a bunch of my co-workers got SW flats from a work clear out one day (we used them for fashion shows) and they wear them ALL.THE.TIME. Then I saw the exact same pairs a year later at Bloomies on sale for still about $190 - so I'd say your's is a major score! And a BLACK cami under the F21 lace top?!!! GREAT IDEA! I may have to try that one night!
