Don't Shun the Shoes

Todays topic is something that is undeniably imperative to us middle fashion girls: SHOES. Shoes are what bring an entire outfit together. They're the big red bow on top of the presents under the tree. If you have an amazing pair of shoes on, the rest falls perfectly into plalce. 

Shoes tie the entire outfit together. When paired with an outfit correctly, they will bring out all the different colors and make you look close to perfection. 

But buying shoes can be difficult. You don't want to go to inexpensive because the quality of the shoes is compromised and they will most likely fall apart. Although, at the same time you don't want to spend too much on them because you will most likely be paying for more than they're worth.

I want to tell you girls about the shoe store "Journeys." They carry all types of shoes and brands and always match the season.

Earlier when I was talking about the quality of the shoes being compromised, I wasn't lying. Lets take UGGS for example. Girls love these shoes but the price is steep, selling at $169.99 for the classic boot even at Journeys.
So instead of spending all of that on a single pair of UGGS, they get the knock-off brands from Target, or Walmart for $20. These fall apart within months, never do they last more than a season. This I know from years of experience of doing the same.  That is until I discovered a secret at the Journeys shoe store. Let me tell you a story...

Last year, in the middle of July I went to Journeys on a mission to buy my first pair of UGGS.

Weird right? Who's buying UGGS in the middle of Summer? That's the point. They aren't in season, so they are a heck of a lot less expensive.

Also, here's another secret: every single pair of adult size UGGS have junior size equivalent. My adult size 8 where equivalent to a junior size 6. The best part being, the junior size UGGS were about $50 less.

They didn't even have them in store! They went online and had them shipped to the store, free shipping, and then called me and told me when they were in.

Ready for the grand total? $90! I got $170 shoes for almost less than half the price, and you can too! Do exactly what I did and you'll have your own pair of UGGS that you can admire all summer while you wait to wear them. 

So here's my main point and your fashion homework girls, buy your seasonal shoes, your UGGS in the summer or your Birkenstock sandals in the winter. Always check for junior size equivalents, they are almost always less expensive. You'll get the shoes that have amazing quality, for the Middle Fashion price.
