A Walk in My Shoes

You know that cliché of "a girl can never have too many shoes,"?  Well, I am a total believer in that saying. I feel that, as the strong, beautiful women we are, we have the right to own as many shoes that'll fit in our closets.  Sigh...okay, well maybe not that many pairs of shoes because we cannot forget about purses, dresses, makeup, food, jewelry..... (haha, well it's true!)
I think you get my point in that girls love shoes and if taxes and bills weren't a thing, we'd all probably own a lot more shoes than humanly possible.  That being said, I thought I'd give you all a peek into my shoe collection by picking out some of my favorite shoes that I own.  And coming from a girl who still has shoes from when she was thirteen (I'm sixteen now) it was quite the task to shovel through the numerous pairs of sneakers, flip-flops, and combat boots to find my favorites.  Alright, enough of the gabbing (ha, get it?) let's dive in!

Starting out with these babies, I picked up this pair of tan high-heeled chunky ankle boots from Forever 21 for seventeen dollars.  Yup, you heard me right! SEVENTEEN DOLLARS! Sorry, didn't mean to scream at you there but I am so excited about these shoes.  Thanks to the thick heel, these boots are super easy to walk in despite the 4.25inch heel height. Even better, they do wonders for my legs! I have looked high and low on Forever 21's website for a link to these boots, but as I bought them pre-Christmas, unfortunately, they might have been taken off already.

Next up are these over-the-knee heeled boots that have been featured in plenty of outfits already.  But what can I say? They are simply stunning. Also from Forever 21, these boots have been a staple in my wardrobe ever since I've taken them home and I sure am getting use out of them!


I don't think I'll ever get sick of talking about these beauties.  I've dreamt of owning these sneakers for a long time, and I finally saved up enough money over the summer to buy them.  For a pair of sneakers like these, both stylish and comfortable, they were worth every dollar out of my wallet. 

With a pointed-toe, tall heels, and suede, when I saw these (similar one's here) in Forever 21, I couldn't resist.  Sure, I have a lot of ankle booties, but I've never owned pointed-toe booties and my goodness do they look absolutely stunning.  There's just something about pointed-toed shoes that add that extra 'oomph' of chic sophistication.

I'll be the first to admit that these faux patent leather oxfords aren't everyone's cup of tea.  I've even been told that I look like I "belong in a ballroom with a matching tuxedo".  So. Not. Cool.  To each is their own, and I happen to adore these shoes. I like to rock these oxfords with skinny jeans and a collared-sweater to look oh-so classy.


To suit my fitness-obsessed side, I had to include my favorite gym sneakers.  My Nike's have been with me through a lot. Gym sessions, hill runs, and long summer walks, these sneakers are super comfortable and definitely a step up from my old running sneakers that looked like they belonged to an elementary school kid!
 
I feel so lucky to own such beautiful shoes and I am grateful to even have a pair of shoes to wear on my feet, let alone two shelves worth!  I hope you enjoyed having a look into my taste in shoes and let me know in the comments what posts you would like to see next! Any requests would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading.
 
Much love,
Gabriella xx
