Ugly Shoes

shirt: old navy  jeans: kohls  wedges: old navy  scarf: DIY

There are many times when I know Chris disagrees with my fashion choices.
Like a few weeks ago when he said,
"I was surprised so many people said they liked this outfit. I think it looks silly."


And here is another example: 

I bought these wedges for under $4 at Old Navy a year or so ago.
They felt really high for me at first, so I wasn't quite sure how often I'd wear them. 
And truthfully I've only worn them a few times because I'm having a hard time finding how to wear them. 



A few weeks after I bought them Chris and I were at Old Navy and we walked passed these shoes and he said, "Those are SO ugly, who would buy them?" 

"Um. . .. I already did." 

Needless to say he couldn't understand why I would and thankfully I could justify it by saying it was cheaper than his lunch that day.

  4. Love these shoes! I have the light gray pair myself. I'm kind of stuck, too...I only wear them with pants. Either skinnies rolled up like you or wide legged.

  9. I think I like them. Maybe they'd look good with bootcut jeans? Love the bright outfit he didn't like.

  10. i have a thing for "ugly shoes" . my sister always teases me that "ugly shoes" are like stay dogs to me, i feel the need to give them a home . :)

  11. Haha this made me laugh. I can't believe the good deals you find!! And I also admire your boldness to try new things with fashion. I would never know how to wear those shoes but you pull them off with this outfit. Don't listen to Chris :)

  12. That is so funny- my boyfriend (also named Chris!) does the same thing. He makes fun of me for saying "that's the STYLE, Chris" whenever we're out and he sees something "ugly". Guys just know nothing! And I love those shoes!

  13. Oh husbands!!! Gotta love 'em. Have a good week lady!

  14. Jim and I also differ dramatically. For example, he thinks colored skinny jeans are "ridiculous." Seriously though, what do they know?! You are so stylish and you rock those $4 shoes. I mean, I bet you got more compliments on them than he got on his lunch! : )

  16. Those shoes are DARLING! They're so so cute. I found you through the GFC blog hop, and I'm loving your blog so far! Your outfits are adorable, and I too am obsessed with statement necklaces. Like a lot.

  17. As you said last week,fashion advice from boys usually makes no sense.
    I'd have trouble styling those too though!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think you styled those wedges perfectly! I've had a similar pair for 2 years and never wear them because I don't know how to style them either...but you make me want to break them out :)

  19. haha, this made me laugh because my husband can be the same way about my fashion...the thing is, they just don't know! some things dan used to HATE now he likes simply because he's seen me wear it a few times. for example, my new owl sweater that dan hates will probably be his favorite in a month. because i intend to wear it ALL. THE. TIME. :)

  20. Hhahah I have similar shoes and my hubs doesn't like them either! I love them and they are actually quite comfortable! I say rock 'em girl!

  21. Hahaha guys crack me up! I like the shoes!

  22. Haha, you and Chris are so funny. When I ask my husband what he thinks of something, he'll say "do you want me to be honest, or do you want me to answer a certain way". Oh men.

    Have a very happy Thanksgiving my friend! :)

  23. That's hilarious... my husband is the same way. Only his famous line is, "It'll have to grow on me." And it usually does =) But, like you, I have the comeback that I paid so little for my stuff that he can't really complain. Love the outfits!

  24. Haha! I am lucky...my hubby tells me I look cute no matter what I'm wearing :)

  28. Both pairs of shoes/outfits are adorable!! Hopefully they will grow on your hubs or else you'll just have to know that you've got better taste in shoes than he does :)

  29. Haha my husband does this when we're shopping, I'll show him something i love and he'll be really skeptical about it, and then when I wear it he'll change his mind. Silly husband ;)

  36. Garrett quite often questions the things I like and what is considered "fashionable". Oh well, they are boys! I like the shoes and I love the polka dot/mustard jeans combo!
