These shoes weren't meant for walking



{Details}
Sweater: Old Navy, Tank: Forever 21, Necklace: estate sale, Jeans: American Eagle, Sunglasses: Target

Why is she barefoot, you ask...Read the story below
Thanks a lot sandals for tearing up my heels. 

Story time
This morning i had the brilliant idea of wearing my old navy sandals to class. (They looked really cute with my outfit) So I was running a little late and then had to talk to a neighbor, which put me even further behind. I decided to make up time by walking extra fast to the bus stop. BAD IDEA. By the time i made it to the bus stop my heels were killing me. I looked down at them and saw the lovely color red. My feet decided to skip the blister phase and went straight to destruction of skin. Lucky me. I got to spend the next couple of hours in pain while my sandal rubbed the open wound. lovely, i know. I must have looked ridiculous limping and shuffling around campus. I tried to minimize the pain before i went back home. I learned that wet toilet paper as a buffer between skin and a shoe does not work. It completely fell apart and started falling out of my shoe as i was walking. Another ridiculous moment. I sucked up the pain for a while longer. When i got off the bus i gave up on shoes and decided to walk home barefoot. Yet again i am sure i looked ridiculous. 
Now i know that some shoes are not made for walking. Don't get me wrong, i love these sandals. I just can't wear them when i have to walk a lot. Lesson learned.

I was so happy to get home and put my feet up and have a glorious cup of coffee.

Do any of you have stories like this or am i the only one?

*Update*
Sydney over at the daybook has these same sandals and she gave me and my feet hope

Monotone





{Details}
chambray shirt and pull over sweatshirt: old navy, jeans: american eagle, shoes: target, necklace: vintage

While pulling this outfit together i realized how dark and gloomy it looked. To lighten it up i added my floral shoes and a beaded necklace. Sometimes it is the simple accessories that can change the mood of an outfit.

Playing Catch Up

I am so sorry for neglecting Welcome to My Closet. I can't believe its been nearly a month since I have posted anything.

There is less than 100 days until i can buy clothes, and it couldn't come soon enough. I am so tired of the clothes I have. The crazy thing is that there are still so many clothes i haven't worn since this blog started.
I guess that means that i will have lots of clothes for a clothing exchange or a garage sale.

I have been trying to be better at documenting my outfits, but i haven't been very successful. 
Nonetheless, here are some of the outfits I managed to capture this past week.

Easter Outfit
School Outfit: Wednesday
School Outfit: Thursday
I wore this sweater shirt combination with two different bottoms on Friday.
First, i wore it with these shorts during the day.
Then at night i switched to these jeans.


I also realized that i have pictures of outfits from the past few months that were never posted on this blog. They were however posted on 500 days of Holly
Let me share them with you.

Spring Buys

Spring is one of my favorite seasons to buy clothes. You get to transition from pants to skirts, shorts, and dresses. You can finally ditch the heavy coats and sweatshirts and wear lightweight sweaters and jackets.

So here is what i would buy for spring from oldnavy and modcloth, if i could.
