The Sewing Mom

I can’t believe it, but it’s only 2 more months before we travel to Indianapolis to attend my nephew’s wedding! This wedding has been in the planning stages for well over a year, in fact, it may be close to 2 years that they’ve been busy making arrangements and I just know everything is going to be beautiful.

This brings me to my latest concern… shoes. Yes, my daughter and I both need shoes for the wedding. We’ve both purchased our dresses and my daughter even has her jewelry picked out, but, neither one of us has picked out our shoes. I’m looking for something with a about a 2 inch heel, but my daughter prefers flats. I recently noticed a post on another blog where they were discussing a site to buy shoes, so I headed over to check them out. I find some really cute sandals for my daughter and I’m wondering if she would like them.

I think these flat sandals would look terrific with the dress she is going to be wearing. Her dress is black, with a strip of dark blue/green down the front. Even the jewelry she’s wearing would be accented nicely by the accents on these particular shoes. Of course, this would mean that I’d have to convince her to NOT wear the black sneakers that she’s currently planning on wearing! I’m hoping that she’ll realize how much nicer these sandals would look!

Whatever she decides, if you’re also in the market for shoes, you just might want to check out AMI Clubwear, they have a huge selection to choose from!

Going back to work can be challenging for many reasons. One challenge I’ve had over the past couple of weeks has been dealing with the colder temperatures. You see, because I’m not yet working from home and I do have to actually drive in to the office to attend my training sessions, that also means I have to put on work clothes, not just an old pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. I also have to have decent shoes and therein lies my problem. In the fall I was okay because it was still warm enough that I could wear my sandals, but now it’s cold and I need shoes that I can wear with socks to keep my feet warm. I’m still wearing khakis or nice jeans, but I also want good shoes.  So, I’ve been doing some shopping.

I’m limited on time right now, so I’ve been doing my shoe shopping online and found dani black shoes and boots. I really like the look you can achieve with boots and I’m so glad they’re still in fashion. I can wear the boots with jeans and then, if I wanted to, I could also wear them with a skirt. I like the options the boots provide and I think they look classy. This pair has a 3 3/4″ heel which is a bit tall for me, but because it’s what is called a “stacked” heel, I think I could comfortably wear this pair of boots, especially since they do have padded insoles for comfort. Making these boots even more attractive is the fact that they are being offered at half price! That’s a deal that’s hard to pass up. They come in 3 different colors, but I think I’ll go with the black, it’s the color I wear the most. Let me know what you think of these!
