Today's outfit isn't particularly buzzworthy, but one part of it is! The shoes. Look at those sparkly specimens of Hymenoptera! I might go so far as to say these shoes are bee-dazzled!
I
found them online, and I loved them on sight—even before I noticed the
most thrilling thing about them: they have the same name as me!
Well, all right, to be perfectly accurate, they have the same name as me, save for one letter—they are called "Balerie."
In
spite of the difference in
pronunciation, I took a personal interest in my name-shoe, and almost
bought it from ShoeDazzle at full price ($22.95) with a credit I had on
my account, but held back. Instead, I waited until earlier this month
when it went on sale for $13.33 (averaged over the three pairs I
bought).
There once was a time when I wouldn't buy flats for more than 9$,
but I guess I'm growing up (read: growing old). I now consider flat
shoes a vital part of my wardrobe and will consider paying up to 15$ for
them, if they're really exciting.
Speaking
of exciting, a marvelous coincidence occurred the day I decided to wear
my Baleries. You might recall that this isn't the first pair of shoes
I've decided to purchase, in large part, because they shared my
near-name. Back in 2016, I bought a pair of pumps called "Valarie"
and wore them to work on my birthday. Well, today when I wore my new
me-shoes to the office, I had no idea that it was also the day my
coworkers had planned to celebrate my birthday! Imagine that! The only
two times I've ever gotten shoes that basically exist to celebrate me,
I've worn them for the day that also basically exists to celebrate me!
