Celebrate the Shoe: Days 5-8

Last week we started celebrating shoes when I realized that I have quite a few more pairs than the average woman.  Here is the latest installment featuring pairs 5-8 of my favorite shoes. You may notice, my heels are getting lower as I creep ever closer to the Boston Marathon (6 days!)  I have to rest my tootsies before the race so here are some of my favorite shorter heels and one pair of flats.

Pair 5: These nude pumps were a Marshall's find last year and I wear them at least once a week spring, summer, fall and winter.  I love their color, rounded toe and comfortable heel.  Last week I paired them with my sale of the century Diane Von Furstenberg floral silk skirt, a billowy shirt and my recently crafted necklace.

Pair 6: Many years ago I owned a pair of leopard flats that I wore into the ground and mourned when they got a hole too big to ignore. I was unable to replace them until I found these pumps last winter when leopard came back with a vengeance. I bought this reversible scarf at Nordstrom with a gift card a few months ago and decided to pair my leopard pieces together with a bold orange top and harem pants on a cool day last week.

Pair 7:  Don't you love when something you've had your eye on for months suddenly goes on super sale? I do, and that's exactly what happened with these ankle boots.  I scooped these up on Gilt Groupe one day over the winter for $40.  The sweater lining makes them surprisingly comfortable so I paired them with my favorite cozy sweater, holey jeans and printed tank.

Pair 8: In my opinion, metallic shoes are a closet staple. They are like the mullet of shoes, business and party all in one look. I wore this mustard and grey look to work, dinner and a friend's birthday last Thursday.  Since my day was going to be super long I needed a comfortable shoe that wasn't a dud at the party that night. This pair did the job just swimmingly.

So I'm curious, are you a heels or flats girl? Or do you switch it up often?  I prefer heels but wear flats when I have long days. I sad to be heel-less currently but I'm trying to rest my Achilles, arches and toes before next Monday's foot torture.
