i can pretty much blame the fact that i have so many shoes on my kids. every time we go thrifting together, they love to pick things out for me. when it comes to shoes, i have to admit, they have a pretty good eye. most of the time, they go for the brightest, blingy-est, pinkest (for eva), and highest (for henry) pairs of shoes they can find. and if i say that i don't like them, and don't buy them, they are slightly offended. so what do i do? i buy them, of course. i don't want to upset my sweet little darlings! granted, i don't love them all, so i usually just throw a "those probably won't fit me" out there. but alas, my kids are smart. very smart. they have learned. now they tell me to try them on. and they know...they somehow know what size my foot is. there is no escaping these little fashionistas! so last night when i saw these amazing shoes, the first thing i noticed was that they were a size 10 (i am a size 8). no matter, i thought, i will just buy them for two birds. they were definitely too great to pass up. but then henry looked and me and said, "mama, you should try those on. i think they will fit you." never, not me, i'm not a size 10. but lo and behold, it was like cinderella...they slid right onto my foot as if the prince had put them there himself. and today i am the proud owner of these amazing vintage made in spain gorgeous sandals.
and since i don't have the right to bare arms at work, here's what i'm really wearing today
dress ~ old navy, thrifted $5.99
shoes ~ vintage, thrifted $7.99
belt ~ vintage, rummage sale $.50
bracelets ~ assorted (dots, vintage, thrifted, F21) $5 total
sweater ~ free (thanks, erin!)
earrings ~ F21 $3.99
and this my friends, is one more reason why you should always look outside your size zone when you're thrifting! especially vintage...they had real sizes back then...none of this vanity crap. (who am i kidding, i love vanity sizing!)
