How I Style: Midi Heels

I might be a little late on the band wagon, but I just discovered my love for midi heels. On yesterday's Nordstrom Rack haul, I scored a pair of Sole Society heels with a cute little tie and a 2.5" heel. I have NEVER been one to wear such a short heel, my 5'3" frame needs a serious lift, but these were calling my name something serious! lol. 

My Sole Society mid heels (sold out) similar styles below.....

Not only were they cute buuuuut....comfortable too and with a $35 price tag, I just couldn't turn them down. After some major thinking and pondering on how I might incorporate these heels into my wardrobe, I think I figured it out! Below are some outfits I think best showcase this heel height and style...I am thinking midi skirts and cropped skinnies or distressed shorts.

My Life: Accoringing to my iPhone

Hi ladies! I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend and are refreshed for the upcoming week! This past week has been a hectic one work wise, so I took advantage of the weekend with some cooking, (I find cooking relaxing, weird I know :) ) some golf, and some shopping. 

From left to right: Spring Veggie Pesto Gnocchi / A day at the Country Club / car selfie, en route to a work function / Shoe shopping find Sam Edelman / ugh, the STRUGGLE :)  / raw food read / Asparagus, truffle goat cheese fritatta in the making / gym life / work function held at Dapper & Wise, a local Portland coffee roaster, where we did a coffee tasting. 

How do you spend your weekends? 

Splurge vs Steal: Black Ankle Strap Heels

You will soon come to find out that I am a TOTAL bargain shopper. Although I lust after high end brands, leave it to me to find the exact look for half the price. Of course I am a believer in spending more on quality pieces you will wear over and over again, some things I just can't justify.

Normally shoes are something I tend to hawk up the cash for but while in Palm Springs we happened to make a quick trip to good ol' Targét. Because it is inevitable that you leave with much more than you intended to buy at Target…I left with not only sunscreen but a great pair of simple ankle strap black heels. SCORE! I had had my eye on many a pair of black "summer" heels during that time so seeing these there with one pair left in my size and an enticing price tag of $29.99…was I going to turn them down? Absolutely not. So now I own a pair of Target heels and ladies, I'm not even mad about it :)
