My shoe closet: My 69 shoes

Tonight I joined coworkers in celebrating a friend's 69th birthday. These arrived via FedEx today, and if I'd stopped by the house before the party I might have worn these to the occasion.

They are comfy and yummy and a more sedate red than pictured. Between that and the snub toe, they are more refined and career-oriented than the Bebe Bailey. I'm seriously considering wearing them to work tomorrow.

Kelsi Dagger Linzy, $99.99 from $119.99 from Heels.com
Available in six other colors and textures I'm trying not to think about.

My shoe closet: Jessica Simpson Dany

My first hooker heels!

If you can't guess by the wood and shape, these are Jessica Simpsons. The arch doesn't quite work for me, but for $50 from the brand site, I'll live.

Jessica Simpson Dany in Plum Velvet, $48.99 from $98

New addition: Nine West, style unknown

Snagged these party-ready shoes from Marshall's for just $20. The glitter is a mix of silver and gold, and the depth of color varies with the light. There's a seam across the vamp, which along with the cut of the material lends an almost butterfly shape to the front of the shoe.

The mission (as always): sensible, closed-toe high heels I could wear to work - no satin, no suede, and must be comfortable enough for a 9-hour shift. These fit the bill, and came to only $25.96 in-store after tax! Not to mention the incredibly sexy unzipped back detail...
