greater than less than

i used to do this on the twotallblondes blog and sort of got away from it. most of the items i've featured have been great deals i scored myself. in keeping with that, i just came across these gorgeous michael kors beauties on shopbop and couldn't help but notice the likeness to a fab pair of franco sarto sandals i snagged a few months ago . . . although i do love the hit of metallic in the kors pair, the sartos have quickly become some of my closet favorites, and for a $165 saving, they're a definite win.

am i crazy?

i came across these isabel toledo sandals last night at none other than payless. payless! whaaaa?

i sort of immediately tried them on. and then proceeded to buy them. and then i thought, really, tobe, what are you going to wear those with? be serious. because i'm not overly adventurous with my clothes. but theeeeeen, i got them home and launched into my closet and came up with this

and decided i'd made a solid decision. i found a million ways to wear these babies after that. plus some ways i'd like to wear them, which would require some shopping. like maybe this:

blouse  |  jeans  |  earrings  |  clutch  |  bangle

or would it be crazy to wear them like this?

dress  |  ring  |  earrings  |  clutch

now i just need mother nature to stop being such a hooch and give us some spring weather....
