ZOMBIE TEDDY MARY JANE

Last year it was the ugg boots. This year, my daughter is asking for Tuk Shoes. I asked, what are tuk shoes? She emails me this photo of the shoe she wants. These are called Black and White Plaid Zombie Teddy Mary Jane. They're cute, don't you think?



Tuk is a rock and roll inspired footwear that originated in the UK. My daughter likes their funky designs that are unique and not everyone at her school is wearing them. She usually wears sneakers most of the time so it's nice that she is wanting to wear something a little nicer like these mary janes. But do they have to be so expensive? These things are $50 a pair! They're not PayLess prices, that's for sure!

Until Next Summer, My Friends

I finally put away my sandals and flipflops today. And today, I wore socks for the first time in months. It's a sure sign of cooler weather here in the Carolinas but I am not complaining, mind you. It's November and I am just starting to pull out my cold weather stuff.

I did realize though that I am desperately in need of a shoe wardrobe update. I just haven't had much energy to drive around shopping though so I have been browsing online instead. I have wide feet and not many stores carry wide sizes and I usually end up going from store to store and coming home empty handed at the end of the day. It's so much easier to shop online. I can filter the type of shoes at the right size and I can immediately see what's available to me.

I just have to keep myself from getting distracted by the womens sandals section which I much prefer over the oxfords and pumps that I am looking for to wear to work.

Know of any good shoe shopping sites online? Leave me a comment with your suggestions!
