Booties on the Brain

Scouring Pinterest lately with ways to refresh my closet and I am seeing *AND WANTING!!*a cute pair of tan-ish booties for fall. Literally all my pins are jeans, sweaters, big scarves, and booties.
However, I have a problem.
I SEE these booties every where... but yet I can't FIND ones I really like.  How come ones I try on look cute on other people but not me? Am I not a bootie person? AHH- Where are those from? Discontinued? Out of my size?
Maybe I am being too critical. Either way, I am just not pulling the trigger on my fall booties. While looking for booties (and a dress for an upcoming wedding), I definitely pulled the trigger on quite a few other things... ;)

On a side note: man I am saying booties a lot. The husband asked me the other day why I keep calling them "booties"... and I was like that is what they are called! He told me they were boots... he did not understand the concept that they are two separate things!

Anyways... here are a few (cheaper) options I am thinking of trying out.

Target- Jessica Suede Strappy Boot
 (go for the taupe or tan?)
Zappos- Rocket Dog Sayla

 
 Kohl's Sonoma Life & Style
 

HAPPY MONDAY!

p.s. I am almost done with the gallery wall (AFTER A MONTH SINCE REALLY STARTING! YIKES!)-- just waiting on a few things I got printed to put in their frames!! I can't wait! I am loving it so far! :)

M.I.A.?

I'm BACK! Granted, not that I meant to go anywhere but the last week has been a whirlwind.  Busy long days at work, followed by trying to be productive at home (mainly going through clothes to keep or get rid of since the closet in our 2nd bedroom fell apart. literally. seemed like it might be a good time for a lil' purge.),  and then in general being out of town for a (((3 DAY))) Labor Day weekend!

How was your labor day weekend? We spent a lot driving in a car to and from my cousin's wedding in Iowa, but it was a good weekend for family.  :) Feeling a little refreshed! AND we have another wedding this weekend back home for a long time friend.
Unfortunately, I haven't really been finding much time to shop for something to wear. Lucky for the closet falling and going through my clothes!! Nothing too fancy (and not great photos) but here are some things I have pulled together...

*Left: what I wore from my cousin's wedding.. and I think all from Target at some point.

*Right: a selfie of the hubs and I at the wedding.

*Above are both possible options for this weekends wedding. Might have to be a game time decision. What do you think?

*Left: Shoes- Vera Wang from Kohls, Dress- Banana Republic Factory, Earrings & Bracelets- Target

*Right: Shoes- Target from at least 6 years ago, Dress- Target from 1 year ago, Necklace- Sparkly Crystal Bead Necklace from Zara (otherwise known at the Kate Middleton Zara necklace)

If I don't post again until next week... HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

>>> As a side note... I am definitely still working on my gallery wall. Still in the planning out stages.. but almost there. Maybe next I will try and share some ideas for what's going to be IN the frames. ha
