Lesson Learned

{Top & Belt: NY & Co., Cardigan: Martin & Osa, Pants & Necklace: Express, Boots: Target}

19/30 [11/24/10]


Entering into the Thanksgiving Holiday, and on the verge of exhaustion, I started seeing my clothes by levels of comfort {hello, I’m turning into my mother}. Enter this ensemble. What’s more comfortable than a forgiving pair of pants, a loose top and a cardigan? Throw on some accessories and I should be good to go, right? Wrong.

Unfortunately, what I did not consider was the comfort of my boots. To my demise, I thought these boots were broken in. What I didn’t realize is that “broken in” is extremely different when it comes to my two jobs.

After 2 hours of standing at job #2, my feet were on fire. And by the time I left I was hobbling around as if I had some serious injury. One person even stopped to ask me if I was okay while walking to my car.

Oh yes, don’t mind me. I’m fine thanks. I’m just limping because I’m an idiot. A shoe idiot.

So note to self, only wear these cute little suede booties while working at job #1. Because the only thing these boots are broken in for – is sitting at a desk all day. No standing or walking included.

Pin It!

  1. That outfit is simple yet chic. I love that about your outfits.
    Oh, I've done that before with the shoes...not fun, not at all.

  2. I love an outfit that has the perfect combination of comfort and chic-ness :)

    I had that same situation with my booties at church on Sunday. I thought they would be alright for a few hours but by the time I got home I could barely walk. It always seems the cutest shoes are the most uncomfortable, ugh!

  3. OMG that happens to me all the time! I think "Oh these shoes are super comfy" so I wear them to walk all around town and end up with blisters and aching feet!! Two peas in a pod!

  4. I like this outfit. I love your blog. And don't worry I think at some point as much as we fight it... we all turn into our mothers.

  5. Aww I hate it when that happens. That's the reason I've been avoiding my heels in this challenge is I don't want to hobble around. I love the blouse you have on here though, so you looked great well hobbling.

  11. Ahhh...the dreaded unbroken in shoe. Gets me every time. Hopefully they will eventually get broken in and will be able to be worn for more than just sitting!

  12. I've absolutely misjudged shoes for being comfy before. It's awful. Glad you eventually made it through.

  13. Those boots are much better suited for minimal walking, but now I know.

  16. Oh, I feel your pain (literally). I have ended many a workday hobbling to my car after wearing new high heels to work (and I have an office job. I'm a wuss).

    Your outfit (minus the shoe issue) looks both comfy and stylish at the same time. Jealous!
