I.Love.These.Shoes.
The thing about these Cynthia Vincent shoes is that I ABSOLUTELY could not usually afford them. No way, no how. Not even the shoes that are on sale on her website. I won’t even pay that much for jeans, let alone shoes I won’t wear every single day. BUT, these shoes are incredibly well made and super d duper comfortable. And you know what? I found them at Common Threads in Boulder, which is a consignment store, for $47. I’m not totally sure what these shoes cost to their original owner, but I’m guessing about $250 or more. Gosh damn I love me a good deal.
I’ve figured out that the only way I’m comfortable in high heels is if they have an ankle strap. I don’t know if it’s because I have messed up feet and ankles or because I have the sweatiest feet in the world, but ankle straps make me feel waaaay more comfortable and less frightened of walking in heels.
Let’s be real, you pretty much have to plan your outfit around these shoes. I wore my black shorts from Pink’s Boutique, a white tank I also found at Common Threads, a blue blazer from Francesca’s and some silver and black accessories. But the other awesome pop of color I added was my favorite bag by Kelly Moore. I seriously use this bag for everything. It’s my gym bag, my travel bag, and my snacks bag. You know, because everybody needs a snack bag.

You’re adorable – as usual. I love those shoes, too. You’re absolutely right – you have to construct the entire outfit around them. And $47 for the pair is a bargain you can’t beat with a stick! Well done, you!
Those shoes are awesome! Great find! I need to scour thrift stores more often. You look beautiful!
I know I will probably get a snarky response for saying it.. But here it is. I miss the old blog. The blog that was focused on food rather than on outfits, work outs and selfies. You are such a great and creative cook and this doesn’t show anymore with the revamped focus of this site. Ive been a regular reader since 2011 and back then maybe the quality of your photos wasn’t nearly as good as it is now but the substance of the blog was superior in my opinion.
Sorry you feel that way Kate, I miss being able to share as many recipes too but as I’ve mentioned before, most of the recipes I’m making right now are going to a special project! But remember, I do have two cookbooks with recipes available and after a few months, more recipes will be back on my site!
So glad to hear it! I miss the recipes!! 🙂
I just want more outfits for Fashion Friday 🙂
You got it Ali 🙂
It seems like this is more of a lifestyle blog than a recipe place. I get it, you’re expanding and saving recipes for purchase items. But, it’s putting off people who are the reason those opportunities are coming your way. I’ve stopped coming by here but maybe once a month.
I’m not sure why it’s putting off when I have over 500 free recipes on here. Have you made all 500 recipes? If you’re coming by once a month, that means you’re getting around 6-8 FREE recipes per month…are you making all of those free recipes every month? Seems like a silly thing to complain about, Ashley.
Juli, you may already know this, but I feel compelled to say it anyway: Haters gon’ Hate.
*drops mike and walks off the stage*
It baffles me that people will take time out of their day to criticize a free blog. People change; their interests/priorities shift. Juli’s writing an awesome blog that is relevant to a lot of us. If it is no longer relevant to you, check out one of the million other blogs dedicated to paleo recipes. There are plenty to choose from! Juli, just keep doing you, girlfriend!
Those shoes are so cute and you style them so well! I love that bag so much. Plus that was an insane deal. I used to try to scout out deals but now I have no focus or energy for it! Gorgeous photos!
I love those lace shorts!
Awesome outfit! You look great! I need to get some blazers and hit up consignment shops
Love these photos, you look beautiful 🙂
I love Common Threads and Pinks! Such great deals and finds. 🙂
Well that is quite the deal on those shoes! High-Fives to you for that find…I used to shop at Pink’s all the time when I lived in Denver. I actually called them last week to see if they still had those shorts…no luck though. 🙁
I love those shoes! I like how the straps at the top of the feet are fairly thick.Very feminine but not too dainty, if you know what I mean.
