hola zapatos

or in Ingles, "hellooo, shoes!" There is a quote that says,

"The optimist, ... when he wears out his shoes, figures he's just back on his feet."
-Hartman Rector, Jr.

I like to think I'm an optimist, but with the snow on its way, I didn't want to have snow in my shoes (again) like I did last year with the cracked soles of my favorite brown flats. I found plain brown flats on Friday, then I couldn't stop thinking about these babies also on sale all weekend.. thus I returned and was pleased to see them still sitting there blinking their little bling at me:
Aren't they sweet? If I were to put a movie character into these shoes, she would be a sweet school teacher with a frilly side. I'd want to play that school teacher. And sit in the book-shrouded library grading papers. aaahhh...
Also on a hunt to find earrings, and perhaps some necklaces, I found a few on sale!

I love that it's paired with a simple pearl. Just like on my bracelets I make on which I love doing a pearl charm near the clasp. I think this will work with many outfits:
Jeweled with a purple gem, it's a faux clasp, with a chain leading down to a feather. I love feather-necklaces! And doves mean peace, right? claro!
here's the feather:
I have worn a feather on a necklace for many years, and very often, but the chain it fits on always grabs strands of hair, and it hurts. So my use of that necklace has sadly diminished over the years, so I was so happy to have found this one as well! On sale for $5.oo, it's a lengthy necklace:
And for the small amount of glitter, here are some teeny little cz earrings:

helloooooo ladies! Isn't being a lady the best??

CUTE! Jayce, I seriously have a bird necklace very similar to that, and I also have a feather one too haha! Great minds think alike :) I'm loving the shoes too! I wish I looked better flats. If I was taller it would be nice, but I'm short so heels are better for me. Great finds!

I have to say that I love this post-I am kind of tempted to link to it via my amysueiloveyou blog.

I love it because you came up with a movie character specifically for these shoes and even a scene for her to star in. Very cool. And very imaginative. It got me thinking I should share some of my imaginings (word?) as well.

the word verification is: amyerts
It actually has my name in it! I don't know what this "erts" thing is unless we're saying it with an accent and perhaps I am in pain. I can just see Audrey Hepburn saying it now in My Fair Lady, "Amy erts now. I ert meself." :) There you go...a small dose of my imaginings.

HA HA! AMY. I love that. :D go ahead and link-link away!! I love your imaginings. ... and YES. that's a word!
