What I Wore: Buyer's Remorse

No word of a lie, you guys, when I bought these shoes I brought them home and was like "WHY did I buy these?" They're supercute, but they match NOTHING. I didn't even wear them for the first few weeks. I tried them on with dresses, skirts, pants -- even my beloved leather skinnies looked weird with them. Finally I was like "Duh Jae!" and put them with shorts instead. Good thing, because buyer's remorse does not suit me well. I look much better in black.

Like, clearly these shoes are adorable. But they are tricky. I found that they worked best with a seriously toned-down color palette and a laced-up style. Because there is no way to match neon yellow, orange, pink and coral altogether without looking like you're a child of the 80s. Which I totally am, I just don't want to look that way. 

Still, difficulty aside, I love these stupid shoes.

My goal is to find more ways to wear them because hello, nothing says summer like these babies.

Anyway, I'm off to recover for the weekend by shlepping my kids to swimming lessons. I went as a leader with a youth group to stay in Salt Lake and do fun touristy things for a youth conference there. Problem? I spent all weekend being mistaken for a 17-year-old which which was cute at first but got exponentially more annoying as the weekend went on. This is what happens when I wear flat shoes.

I need to buy more wedges.
