holiday shoes under $100 & splurge

Hi, our names are Aj & Ashley and we have a problem:

Shoes.

We love shoes.

I’ve rounded up some of our holiday time favorites- in two batches.

The first, a round up of shoes that Ash and I own. Between us both we own most all of these shoes, some in multiples- and there’s a reason. They are our favorites. Yes, they are expensive- but, I will say I used to be the gal that had 7 pairs of “black pumps”, none of which I really liked, they didn’t last, and they were all incredibly uncomfortable. Now, if I had instead invested in one pair of quality black pumps- I would have spent the same amount, they last longer, they are more comfortable, and let’s be honest- I just like them better! So, that is my strategy now. I sometimes will buy a fun, inexpensive pair – but most of my shoes I invest in and replace multiple pairs of shoes in my closet that I then won’t wear.  Screen Shot 2016-12-07 at 2.13.32 PM.png

The second batch – everything is UNDER $100 and some UNDER $50! Several of them are lookalikes for the expensive ones! Screen Shot 2016-12-07 at 2.18.47 PM.png

no time to change ootd

It is finally starting to cool off in Texas and I am loving it! I am really in to leather leggings/pants, a statement shoe, chokers and a comfy sweater or tee and chunky, long cardigans. This ootd is one I have worn on repeat the last week-I have worn this same outfit from morning until night by just switching up my shoes throughout the day for the occasion. Casual- do a flat like these, or a flat bootie like  these – which is what I wore to my daughter’s school Thanksgiving feast.  Dress it up a bit {like below} with a taller ankle boot with a wedge like these or these. Need to attend something that night that’s a little fancier- throw on a great, classic, black, stiletto like these!
