On Friday I decided to go through all my t-shirts to take an inventory of what I have. I think I have a pretty decent collection from over the years, but I still have some music favourites that don’t have representation yet 😉
I need a Prince one, a Nirvana, and Madonna for starters.
Today was sort of an epic write off, I admit. I pretty much spent a huge part of the day googling and reading articles on medieval facial reconstruction. One article would lead to another, then Youtube videos, and Wikipedia. It kind of just took over my day. I did manage to submit my taxes early this morning (to my accountant person to look over), change the sheets, and do some laundry so I guess it wasn’t all a waste. We were going to go thrifting but I saw an email from Value Village this morning saying it was a 50% off day pre-sale for card members which means that it would be epically busy, and picked over so we skipped it.
Sandals are the one area that I always seem to have trouble with, because I can never find a pair that I like in a price point that I can afford. I refuse to pay an arm and a leg for something that I am only going to get a few months wear from every season, so I try to veer away from styles that are too trendy to get more than one season from them.
I have had only one pair of sandals each summer for the last 8 or 9 years. My current sandals I bought from Etsy three years ago (I think) and the pair before that I had for 4-5 years. I don’t really have a need multiple pairs since I tend to wear sneakers and slip-ons more often than sandals, but I am due for a new pair. I was leaning towards Birkenstocks in the Daloa Ankle Strap style but I can’t find them around here and I really don’t want to order from the U.S. They would be a pair that I could wear for years so spending $100 isn’t crazy in that instance.
While I was scouring online trying to find alternatives to the Birks I like I found a lot of cute styles that fell under $50. When I am looking for cute shoes for a great price the first place I visit is Zara because they seem to hit it out of the park every season in the shoe department. They ALWAYS have the cutest styles, and there is never a time that I don’t have a pair of their shoes in my online basket.
Another great spot to hit is DSW. They have so many names brands at discounted prices with customer reviews on each style to help guide your decision. Finding a pair that looks great and lasts all season shouldn’t break the bank so I rounded up some cute styles that all fall at or under $50.
Are you still on the hunt for sandals or am I the only one?
