January Clearance Sales

January can sometimes be a hard month, there is always the let down that comes after Christmas and you still have 3 or 4 more months of bad weather to look forward to but there are 2 shining lights that get me thru this dreary month, #1 is A’s birthday & #2 is all the clearance sales. I have had pretty good luck so far and I’ll probably share more later but one thing that really stands out in my mind are these great little jeweled flats. I have had my eye on the Steve Madden version since early fall and at $79.95 they were a pretty good deal but when I found them on clearance at Target last week for $4.95 I was extremely excited.

Steve Madden version for $79.95

I wore them to work the very next day and got tons of compliments, a great way to dress up a simple outfit without being too over the top and all for the cost of a cup of coffee.

I had a wedding to go to this weekend and was able to do something that rarely ever happens to me; I had a complete outfit already ready, dress, shoes, accessories the works. I helped at the Best of Spokane 2010 party in October and was able to put everything together for that event and loved how it turned out so I knew that I would wear the same thing to two winter weddings that I was going to attend, this one on Saturday and another one on New Year’s Eve. I wore a red & black (I know Iknow) Donna Morgan dress that I bought for my High School Reunion but the crown jewels, as least as I saw it were these Steve Madden heels. They are black sequin and patent leather and have just enough of a platform to be really attractive and are actually very comfortable, something I am not used to in shoes. Usually you can either get them to be comfortable but they aren’t that cute or they are super hot but not comfortable at all and I was able to hit the jackpot with these. I am so impressed in fact that the search is on for any other colors that I can find in this style.

These will defiantly become my new go-to shoe for holiday events, finally the LBD has found the perfect LBS (little black shoe).
