When I think of mules, I think of clunky, cloven shoes that barely qualify as heels. But this recent trend toward sleeker pumps has me rethinking that characterization.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
I just cannot get myself to wear mules to work.Period. For weekend and night outs yes, for work, cannot get my mind to say yes.
I agree, even on a casual day. Work shoes need backs, at least a strap. I can’t…just…can’t.
I was thinking about them for under pants. I’m not sure I would wear them with a skirt. I definitely wouldn’t wear them with a suit, but maybe on Friday with a pleated skirt.
I have never had a pair of mules that didn’t make the “flop flop flop” sound as I walked down the hall. Not the most professional. Cute for a date night though!
Good point. I guess I’ll have to try on a few pair because I hate the clopping noise as well.
There used to something called Tiger Tape that I once used in desperation on a loose slingback strap. It worked like a charm, and didn’t damage the shoe or my heel. It might be worth it for this type of shoe-stick a piece of double sided tape to the sole.
