It's no secret that I love to shop. Shoes are my favourite, especially when I can purchase them online. I find the selection is so much better online, you can get great deals and not wear something else everyone already has. I can't say I do a lot of clothing shopping online, a few things here and there, but it's mainly shoes.
I wanted to bring my lovely readers' attention to a fantastic site for online shopping. It's called Retail Me Not and it's a consumer 'run' site for all your shopping discount codes. I always check this site before making any purchase online. Other consumers will add their coupon/discount codes to the site (free, and you can too) which you can search and often use on your purchase. I have saved hundreds of dollars simply by using coupon/discount codes others have shared. So what are you waiting for? Before shopping, use this fantastic tip and save yourself some $.
I am in no way affiliated with retailmenot.com and this post is simply my own views and opinions.
I am all for saving money where I can and wanted to share this great tip with all of you.

Well, shoes 4 through 7 have arrived and let's just say they are less impressive than 1 to 3. I was so excited for these to come and to be honest, I'm really only happy with one pair. The problem with ordering through Urban Original is it's not exactly worth it to send the shoes back. It would be almost as expensive as the shoes themselves, and then you're out s&h charges twice (and duty). Le sigh. Regardless, I might take a couple pairs to a consignment shop and try my luck.
These are sadly too big. The great part about these is the strap that goes around the back of your heel swivels to go across the front of your foot, if you'd like. This works as it'll keep my feet locked in, however, I'm not a huge fan of the 'Mary Jane' look, which is what it gives. However, I'm not giving up on them just yet, but ladies, if you order, size down one size.
The heels on these are massive, and I ordered 'black' and this is what came. Technically they sent the correct shoes, but they are certainly not black, more like dark brown. Not only do I feel like a giant when I put these on, I am a giant. Now, that's not to say I don't have heels this high, it's just the combination of the massive platform and skinny heel that doesn't help. Bad call.
I love these!! I'm so pleased with them and should have bought two more colours. They are true to size and fit well. Can't wait to some summer weather to rock 'em.
These are a little big, and really high. I'm disappointed, for sure. I could have sized down a size and they would feel a lot more secure on my foot. I was really looking forward to these ones so that's a bummer.

This closet clean out has not only been good for making space, I've reinvented a few things to fill in the missing blanks in my closets (score!).
Next up is a super easy sweater skirt. I got this idea when I first chopped up a striped tank to create a skirt (see the look) and then did it again a few days later (see the look). I'd never done it before and it worked out swimmingly... which has since prompted me to chop up other clothes I was planning on donating anyways (see, the perks of cleaning out your closet).

This sweater skirt is super easy. Take a sweater you don't wear anymore (the longer, the better as it'll give you some length to the skirt. I did this with a shorter sweater and got a mini-skirt... not exactly the look I was going for, but then again, I'm 5'11 so many things end up being short on me) and cut it straight across underneath the arms. Generally (depending on the fabric) you won't need to finish the ends (especially if it's jersey or a thin-knit sweater like this. The ends will just roll a bit and it's perfect). Shimmy into the bottom tube piece, and voila, new (& free) skirt!
Yes, those are OTK boots with a peep-toe
PS - This is my 400th post! Wow!
If I was a foot shorter, I would rock-the-shiz outta these.
Wow. Does that heel not look 10 inches?!
Update: The heel is 140mm
