Woven Flats

I have a little bit of time on my hands so I am going to write a quick blog while I'm on 'lunch break'. Wednesday's are typically slower days at work, but have become a little bit more interesting as I started going and doing environmental activities at Cleveland High School.

Anyways, I just wanted to share my latest purchase that I received in the mail last night.

They are shoes from Sole Society, which is kind of like ShoeDazzle. The shoes at Sole Society are 50.00 instead of 40.00 and profess that they are better quality. I can't really attest to that because I have not worn my Sole Society shoes yet (They are woven flats, and sadly its still rainy and cold here in Seattle). Typically, I am a little weary of 'cheap clothes' because of my disasters of Forever 21 and Wet Seal. Clothes will break, fall apart in the wash, etc. Instead, I prefer to pay a little bit more to make the clothes last a little longer. I loosely try to follow the 'cost per wear' formula that all the fashion 'rags' swear by (I do have a budget though that inhibits me from buying designer). But, I still enjoy partaking in these shoe by the month clubs. I feel that the cheap prices allow me to step out my fashion comfort zone a little bit and try shoes that I wouldn't want to pay full price because I don't feel they are versatile or practical enough. For instance, living on a student budget in Seattle sets you up for a lifestyle of public transit and A LOT of walking up HILLS. Thus, heels don't really fit into my lifestyle. ShoeDazzle and Sole Society still allow me to still afford the luxury of these shoes without feeling guilty about buying something that I might not get a lot of chances to wear. Accordingly, this also works for funky colored flats, sequined/studded shoes, and more! I suggest you fill out the sole society survey and give it a try, even if you don't end up buying anything.

Anyways, 1/3 of the way done with my book. I will give a full update when its finished.
Cheers!
