Seeing Red

I've been looking for a red belt for about a year. I haven't been looking overly hard, and at times I've completely forgotten about my desire for one. But when I'm out at certain stores, and when I remember, I'll casually look at the belts in search of a perfect red one. As it turns out, I found one recently at a second hand store that showed no signs of ever having been worn, and I only paid two bucks for it. Score!

Now all I need a pair of red shoes to go with the belt. And so my search continues.

The other day a friend and I were talking about red shoes and she told me about these little beauties;
And I became obsessed with finding them online for cheaper than their original price (which is about $95 dollars). But I was unsuccessful. I wasn't even looking for the exact pair, but something similar would do. But still, no success. Then I went to a few stores. Again, no red ballet-style shoes.

But I did find these;
They aren't exactly ballet-style, and they aren't the exact color red I was hoping to find, but they sure are cute! Oh, and they were on the clearance rack for fifteen bucks! (that makes them even more cute)

Now I just need to find another belt to go with my cranberry red shoes with the cute little buckle at the toes. I don't feel too bad about that though. It's not like I spent a lot on the first belt, which I can still wear, just not with my current red heels!

I think that, while the belt and shoes are both very cute, wearing the red shoes and belt at the same time is not the best idea; probably better to wear the red belt and shoes at two different times.

this is true, Michelle. and at this point I have no choice anyway. but I must tell you something about the red belt......it's Rachel's fault! I saw her wearing one last year and she gave me the bug to get one myself. So the belt, and consequently the shoes, are because of her. And to Rachel I say "Thank you for your fashion influence"! :)

That's awesome. She's an inspiring lady. Hope you at least find the right shoes at the right price!

I love red....especially red shoes. Have you checked Payless Shoe Source? I have seen red ballet flats there.

Carrie - I did check Payless and didn't find anything. maybe I saw some but they didn't meet my criteria? On a side note.....I'll be sporting my new red lovelies this Sunday, be on the lookout! :)

Oh my word! I love ballet flats and I love RED- those are delicious! I hate when just the right shoes doesn't fit the shoe budget! Happy Easter!!
