Pinstripes + Investment Shoes

I almost titled this post “Railroad Stripes” but couldn’t help but use another favorite, “Pinstripes” if for no other reason than to celebrate Sunday’s Yankee win over the Red Sox. Man – does my family love some Yankee Baseball! Well, my husband loves his Phils but this gal was raised to respect the NYY. Can’t help it…it’s in my blood. My poor daughter, so confused, as I constantly remind her or our favorite team only to have Curt pull her little heart in the other direction. Oh well, we all know who usually wins in the end! #yankeesforlife

Anyway, baseball fan or not, I love these skinny blue stripes and this adorable pair of pants is the perfect way to casually pop them in and out of my wardrobe whenever I’m craving some subtle prints. Barely noticeable unless you’re standing close enough, but bold enough to know that your outfit has a little bit of detail to shake things up.

My wedge obsession continues and this patent navy pair are very comfortable and perfect for so many of my upcoming outfits. In other words, you’re probably going to be seeing them a lot! I tossed a cashmere cardigan over my tote so when I’m blasted with cold air conditioning or still running around town when the sun goes down, my outfit is easily ready to keep me warm.

Have a great Monday, everyone! Long live Spring Break!

I think it’s no secret that I just love me some shoes. The problem isn’t necessarily that I love shoes…I love really well made shoes. Le sigh. I love soft suede, leather, and quality craftsmanship. While this sounds lovely and all, requirements such as these usually come at a cost. I went shopping this past weekend and had one of those moments where you spot the most perfect pair of shoes from across the store and practically take out other shoppers as you beeline over to said shoes.

These zip up booties are amazing. So soft, the perfect slouchy material and just heaven on the soles. Gah. They just made their way straight to the top of my wish list. Oh, and the low cut booties below them? They’re fairly awesome as well.

And there you have it. Another pair of investment shoes that I couldn’t help but sharing with you, too! Who else loves a well made pair of shoes? I can’t possibly be standing alone here…
