Fashion Dilemma!

Exciting news!!! In about 1 month (March 23rd to be exact), I will be graduating from LPN school! (pending I pass 2 more tests, but of course I'll pass... right? I hope... pray for me...) Anyway...

I'll be lighting my little candle..

Sportin' one of these goofy things on my head...

With this little number...

Some tacky white stockings... and....

Here's where we come to my dilemma!

I bought these shoes a few months ago on sale, but they only had them in a 6.5.

Turns out, I needed a 6. With thick socks, they would be okay... with tacky white stockings, they are floppy and goofy. SO, I'm on the hunt for them in a 6, which I've found.

BUT they are not even CLOSE to being on sale.

In the process, I also came across these....Which are MUCH cheaper.

But I can't decide which ones I want! Now, neither of them are all that comfy really. And I don't really love either of them... but they are the cutest nursing shoes I've seen yet. So, I need YOU to help me make the decision!

It may not be the cutest ensemble in the world, but I DO have to be seen in public in it! And I'm pretty sure my mom ALREADY has her camera ready....

While I'm on the shoe subject....

I've gotta share with you my other great Overstock.com bargain!!!!

Now that the wedding is over, I have things I can share!!! Yay! and when Jess gets back from her honeymoon, I have one more thing wedding related to share with you. I can't wait!!!!

In the meantime... I gotta show you the cute shoes I got for $28 to wear to the wedding!!!

They didn't have a 6 1/2 so I settled for a size 6 which was pretty darn close to perfect, but a little snug around the toes. I talked to my mom about it, an she suggested sticking wooden mixing spoons in the front to stretch them. At first I laughed, but then I tried it. Let me tell you, as silly as it looked, IT WORKED!!!! They fit just fine after a week of stretching and didn't bother my toes one bit! And of course, they looked awesome with the dress my oh so talented Mommy made for me to wear :)

Isn't it great??? My mom has been SO busy and SO wonderful. Not only did she hand-make my dress, she also did some tailoring on Ed's dress shirt, AND did all of the alterations on the bridesmaid dresses!

She rocks!!!

Oh boy, I've become a hypocrite!

For years I have made fun of Uggs (or anything of the sort) but this year, I do believe I have somewhat changed my mind. *gasp* Evidence? I just purchased THESE!

So what if it doesn't really get cold down here. We still get like 2 days out of the year when it's about 30 degrees. One day I can wear my brown cowboy boots and the other day I can wear these!!! They keep catching my eye everywhere! I couldn't resist! They were only $30 on Overstock.com!!! That's my rationale. They are warm, comfy, and cheap. Sounds good, right?

I do vow to never wear them with hoochie shorts like the rest of the bimbos here in South Florida though. I promise.

Another Bargain!

One of the sites I check daily is Slickdeals.net. They have all KINDS of special offers, and new stuff every single day.

The boyfriend bought some new running shoes the other day, and they were buy one, get one 50% off at Rack Room Shoes. Being that we were both in need of some new sneaks.... The deal was, he was going to pick out a pair, and then I would get a pair. BUT they didn't have his size in the pair he wanted. What did he do? He wound up going shopping without me one day at another location and bought 2 pair for himself. STINKER! I pouted, and he offered to buy me a new pair of sneakers too :) yay! Being the frugal one... (even though I wasn't paying) I had been shopping around online for a pair that I liked. We have both decided that there is nothing more comfortable than NB. Soooooo, when a 65% off clearance at Joe's New Balance Outlet popped up yesterday on Slickdeals, I had to take advantage of it!!! Plus, shipping is only $2.95!!!!!

So... last night, the boyfriend bought me these babies! :)

for a grand total of $41!!! Including shipping!!! (way cheaper than his by the way....)

Thanks Honey!!! You're the bestest!!!!
