Shoe Fettish

Typically around this time of year, I start to "collect" pieces for my fall wardrobe.  Once fall arrives, I slowly debut them to feel like I have many "brand new" items to last me through the season!  I rarely debut more than one new item each week, to keep from over spending and purchasing more new clothes.  I bought the Jenna Round Toe Pumps from Banana Republic a few weeks ago.  I was saving them for the fall, but decided, why the wait? (Yes, you caught me, I sang the Ingram Hill song, Why the Wait quite literally) I might as well wear them now to take them for a little field test, if you will.

A friend of mine was in town for the weekend and we met up for dinner.  I decided to keep the snakeskin print of the shoes the main attraction of the outfit, so I wore all back with just a pop of red on the belt.

Here's an up-close-and-personal view of the shoe, fresh from the box

Shirt: Banana Republic, circa 2009
Skirt: The Limited, circa 2005
Necklace: Express, circa 2004
Belt: Gap, NO IDEA.  The tag says 2001, but I've definitely only had it for a few years.  Perhaps a sister gave it to me?
Shoes: Banana Republic, Summer 2011

This is what my face looks like when I am surprised that I can balance on one foot.

What do you think of all the animal prints coming back into fashion this fall?
