Forever 21 Polka Dot Platform Mary Jane - Part II

So, the question of the hour about these shoes was..."Are they comfortable?"  Well, first of all I guess I should say that expensive doesn't necessarily mean comfortable.  I have definitely bought discounted expensive shoes that have TORN MY FEET UP! That being said when I do understand people's hesitation to buy shoes from Forever 21 for fear that the cheaper fabrication might make them uncomfortable. Well, not to worry! If you are thinking about buying these beauties, you can rest assured that they are pretty damn comfy.  They have a nice cushiony insole, and overall my feet just didn't hurt at all after wearing the all day.

Dress: Forever 21 ($22.80???) | Shoes: Forever 21 ($25.80) | Flower pin: H&M ($3.95) | Bag: thrifted | Sunnies: H&M (2 for $10 sale...I need to buy some new sunnies)
My only complaint with these shoes would be they don't come in half sizes, so I had to go up to a size 8.  This usually isn't a problem as long as there is a strap, which these do have, but I have but because the heel is so high and the shoes were a little roomy, my foot was sliding forward and pushing against the front of the shoe.  This is nothing those little insoles can't fix and again I wouldn't attribute it to the shoe, but rather to the size.


So for the debut of my favorite new mary janes, I whipped out my good ol' F21 black and white striped maxi. The fiance LOVES this dress. It hugs every curve, so that's no surprise.  I actually wore this yesterday, and I tweeted a picture of it.  He actually went out of his way to send me an email to tell me how much he loved the picture! LOL!  You guys last saw this dress here, where I showed you five ways to rock it.... so add one more look to the list with the addition of my favorite new accessory -- the flower pin.  I gave the white one a break and replaced it with a black one, and I think it complements the dress very well.  I opted to leave a necklace behind and let the flower do all the talking... well, not really. I still have my giant hoop earrings and the infamous H&M bangle...LOL!


Well folks, I've gotta get back to packing so I have to keep this post brief. My boxes were picked up yesterday morning, and my car will be picked up on Saturday...aaaaaahhhhh pardon the sporadic posts over the next week or so. I've got so much running around to do... my blogging time has been replaced by errands and packing.  The thing is I have been taking pics everyday so I have several days worth of photos to post. I thought about doing one big post with all the looks from the past few days, but that would be BORING! So, I will post them as I am able.

I call this my Blake Lively pose.  Have you guys noticed that she always poses like this? It cracks me up!  If you haven't noticed it before, just pay attention next time you run across a picture of her. The hand is always on the hip, and her head is always cocked to the side. Lol!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
