The Edit: BR is Killing the Shoe Game

Oct 6, 2017

Banana Republic’s clothing selections vacillate between boring and phenomenal, but this season, the shoes are it.  Almost every pair has me saying, “I need that, and that, and that…”.  If you’re looking for a beyond basic work shoe wardrobe, come with me on a journey through the BR shoe section.

Do you know how hard it is to find awesome grey pumps?  But here they are, in all their allegedly-wearable-for-12-hours glory.  Madison Pump ($82).

The Madison pump also comes in this fetching leopard print ($128).  It’s neither too brown or too yellow, making it a rarity in the world of animal print.  I also like the scalloped vamp.

These criss-cross flats ($108) are the solution to the boring black flat.  The style is really adorable, and good with casual dresses or jeans.

Spotted hair-calf is animal print for people who don’t like animal print.  And I love the chunky heel on these Block-Heel pumps ($138) for both stability and walkability.

I bought a pair of Loeffler Randall pumps in this fabric five years ago and wore them out.  These are the perfect replacement.

Do I need a suede block heel, tall boot ($228, also in black leather)?  No, but I want one, I really want one.

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

The Counter: The Post-Product Era

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss.  Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner?  In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin.  But in my 40s, my skin […]
