a woman's best friend


wedges - c/o Rack Room Shoes
maternity denim - Old Navy
purse - thredUP
blazer - Forever XXI
top - Old Navy

If and/or when wedges go completely out of style I'm still fairly to very certain that I'll still happily rock them because I'm a high heel weakling but won't go full time with the flats ... quite yet. When I first spotted these on Rack Room's website the sensible side of Grace told the sliver of a wild side of Grace, "ohhhh no you don't ... " because even four inches on a wedge sounded a little too crazy for my lifestyle but the wild woman won out in the end. As someone who unabashedly lives in mom clogs the majority of the time ... my shoe comfort standards are pretty high and I was pleasantly shocked at how comfortable these were. They even passed the Simon test (although he said one more strap and they'd be traipsing into gladiator/enemy territory) which was almost more shocking. 

If you're not quite ready to pull the four inch trigger Rack Room has loads of other equally snazzy and potentially more sensible options in the wedge and heel department. Por ejemplo: I had these open in my browser forever. I hate how much the change of seasons makes me want to shop especially as the kids grow but Rack Room's everyday "buy one get one 50%" promotion on all styles for men, women, and kiddos makes the (fun) pill a little bit easier to swallow especially when Sebastian jumps three sizes in six months.

Rack Room Shoes also has an awesome rewards program chalk full of exclusive discounts and coupons. It just might come in handy if you too have a husband that wears their only non-sneakers until they are extra holey and waiting around for the perfect pair to go on clearance isn't always a viable option.

Enough, Grace. Let's get to the good stuff. 

Rack Room Shoes is giving away a $100 credit to one of you fine folks ... just do as the kind Rafflecopter says and break a foot. I won't say that again, promise.

    ReplyDelete
  3. So cute!! Love the shoes (and that nail polish)!!

  4. I like the Pesaro Victoria wedge.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I have been needing/wanting to get a pair of Converse chucks! The Highland Creek Angler would be perfect for my son's church sandals.

    ReplyDelete
  6. My favorites are the Xappeal Lolla flats :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. Definitely need to get some converse for the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'd really like to say that I'd get a pair of cute wedges, because at 5'2" with stubby legs, I could sure use the height and longer line. The truth of the matter is, though, that I simply don't care enough to be uncomfortable for even 5 minutes. So...I'd probably get converse. ;) I love Simon tidbits (the gladiator straps). Your family is extremely lovable.

  9. I love the Pesaro Victoria's in black!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  14. Those wedges! I want those wedges!

    ReplyDelete
  15. The black tia high heel is SO FAB. But more realistically I really like the brown Jessica Simpson wedges. Because I struggle in high heels too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Love the STEVE MADDEN ERRYN in navy! Super cute and they look comfy!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ooo, they have Jessica Simpson shoes! They're my go-to for heels in any form (totally unbelievably comfortable for a celebrity's shoe line). They have the Jessica Simpson Jonii which is what I'd get for the upcoming wedding season. (We have 9 to go to in the next 3 months...yikes.)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Can I please steal your whole outfit? ;) I've been on the look-out for some great wedges for all the weddings I'm attending this summer (stiletto heals and grass do not mix) and this gift card would be very appreciated! I'm especially loving the Xappeal "Journee" wedges--they seem like they'd go with everything!

    ReplyDelete
  22. The B.O.C Levinia shoe! In black. So cute. I guess I don't stray from the ballet flat-mom clog norm.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I love the Zena styles by Limelight, and Grace's foot modeling makes the Ethelas pretty tempting too! I'm three weeks postpartum, and I need something new & cute to wear that doesn't make me feel huge! :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Those G By GUESS Ethela wedges you got on are calling my name and I actually really like the DC Anvil shoes for my husband. His old shoes also have holes and he whines about how uncomfortable they are every time he wears them, which is every single day.

    ReplyDelete
  25. i seem to have a unsustainable need for slip on sneakers - gimme them clllllllllll

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love the Madden Girl Teagan sandals! My friend has that pair and I kept admiring them on her and then boom, just saw them through your contest. I might have to get some for myself!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Love those brown wedges! I just replaced my nude colored ones, but that brown would be awesome. I also love the Clarks that you keep eyeing. Wedges and Motherhood for the win!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Well, clearly I NEED the limelight- Jocelyn sandals in brown. While I'm at it I should probably also get the kids feet- penny for my mini me :)

  39. I'm in need of new sandals and the ones I've had for possibly 10 years seem to be falling apart (but what a good buy, though!). I'll go ahead and take the G by Guess Dahlia Women’s Shoe or Xappeal Alex Women's Shoe. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love the pesaro wedge! So cute but still practical.

    ReplyDelete
  52. My husband has got to get a pair of dress shoes very soon. I think the Chaps Metropolitan would fit the bill nicely.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I like the XAPPEAL ALEX sandals. Pretty plain jane, but that's just like me :) Though I've never owned a pair of wedges that I've liked so if I won, I'd maybe try, try again in that realm.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I've been drooling over boat shoes recently... either the Sperry Intrepid or Margaritaville Bonaire. =)
