Stumbling
When I saw these shoes online from Forever 21, they only offered sizes 7 and/or 8. I'm a 7 1/2. What's a girl to do? I bought those motherfuckers (excuse my language). Unfortunately, I went for the 7 instead of the 8, so they squeeze my toes a bit. Adding on to the squeezing, I'm horrible when it comes to walking in heels. I pretty stumbled all the way to Rite Aid (my destination) and all the way back to my dorm. Nevertheless, I loved wearing them as they made me feel taller.
So as you've probably noticed, I made a whole lot of changes to my blog. I stayed up until sunrise in order to get it all done since I knew that if I didn't finish it all in one sitting, I'd never finish (why can't I do that with my homework?) I'm pretty satisfied with it as of now...but PLEASE let me know any comments and/or suggestions you guys have. Also, there's now a link to my formspring in the right column just so all the general questions get piled up there. :)

(did I mention how there's hearts on my socks?)
Lovely shoes!
ReplyDeletethose shoes are adorable, you made the right choice going for the smaller sizes! i'm sure you'll get used to them, whereas too big and they would've kept falling off your feet!
ReplyDeletei have awkward feet sizes too so experience dilemas such as these!! haha :P
The blog looks cute!! I like how clean it looks.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can stretch out those shoes, because they're super cute!
xoxo
OOh, I mailed your stuff out yesterday! You should be getting them very soon!
OBSESSED. Your look is beyond amazing.

Don't forget to enter my custom elastic waistband skirt giveaway!
I like the yellow accents to the new layout. :o)
ReplyDeleteI also very much like your skirt! and I sometimes have a hard time walking in heels too, haha. good luck practicing!
Ah, I'm the same way with heels! I wore a pair of wedges today and it took me FOREVER to get to class : D
ReplyDeletegorgeous! and your blog is looking great
ReplyDeletelove the shoes! I learned that walking in high heels is all down to confidence-if you strut a lil clumsily but like the world is your oyster, no one notices. WORK IT haha
i'll never forget my first heels which i tried walking in to a choir practise when i was 14..so embarrassing, literally clinging onto ANYTHING in the street for my dear life
love the shoes, jen! also, love how u paired them with the socks. wish i could pull of this look hehe ur layout looks great, too!

ReplyDeleteAlright I've just caught up on your last few posts! Phewwww, you are a busy lady !!
ReplyDeleteI love this blog layout. You did a fantastic job! Man, I wish i could actually figure out HTML!!haha. Oh well.
Let me know next time you're in the city! We could to lunch or cofee or anything really!
love the shoes, they look so oxford, love it with the heart print socks!
ReplyDeletexXx
Lol the same here! I end up hobbling because if they're not wedges they tend to hurt after a while! Well it's worth the pain because you're ensemble is beautiful down to the heart shaped socks. It's all about the detail! I love your blog layout. I'm still dumbfounded about how to work with blogger ;p. <3

love those shoes, i have similar ones also from forever 21! your socks seriously remind me of a pair i had when i was little! they're so cute!
ReplyDeleteomg i have issues with sitting down with my homework too. blahh. the changes look great! i really like it!
So pretty look!! lovely shoes and socks :)
ReplyDeleteB*
I'm dying over your shoes, 100%. So damn cute. Just love this post and outfit altogether. Saved to my inspiration file!
ReplyDeleteI actually bought those same shoes in black. Loved them, but unfortunately they squeezed my poor toes to death even though they were my size, so I had to return them. They look really cute on you though! Especially with those socks! Can't get any cuter. :]
ReplyDeleteYeah, I find with F21 shoes that, unless they actually have your size (which is rare for us half-sizers), its better to go a size up. I bought a pair of flats in a size smaller and they didn't fit at all... I had to donate them... :(
ReplyDeleteBut lovely outfit! And the changes to the site are nice too, everything is nicely organized. :)
Ouuhhhh I love love love the new layout!! And those socks are so cute! It's a shame those shoes are tight... well next time you'll know what to do when life offers you two sizes! Always bigger! :P
ReplyDeletexoxo,

The shoes LOOK great, but too bad about that extra squeeze. The whole outfit is so cute (I love the belt).
ReplyDeleteAnd the new layout is great. Very bold and crisp.

ReplyDeleteYour shoes and skirt are adorable, and I love those little heart-patterned socks! Haha I was noticing your new layout, I love it! I love how everything has that yellow pattern inside the lettering :)
ReplyDeleteCute socks... and such a cute outfit too. You always look so pretty in your ensembles. xoxo
ReplyDeletei love your new layout! it's so clean...and chic with the right colors...love the new links on your sidebar too... i gotta' admit, i viewed your page source once because i wanted so bad to figure out how you dead your header links... haven't quite figured out the coordinates thingy yet...if you don't mind, would you teach me how?hehe. my blog needs a revamp..it's getting too cluttered.
ReplyDeleteanyhoo, about your outfit...it's so adorable! and i love the shoes! i'm a 6 1/2 to 7 so it's sometimes hard for to choose a size...they don't sell half sizes nowadays..bummer.

ReplyDeleteThe shoes are lovely, but why are all the best shoes so painful???

The blog looks awesome! Way to go! Love the shoes, sorry bout the pinching
ReplyDeleteOhh my gosh it looks like you're gonna sell me girlscout cookies. :) :) you look too cute. Cute shoes/socks combination, I like the little hearts on your socks. <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of your blog layout! That's definitely my style as well!
ReplyDeleteAmy :)
I love the skirt and the belt! The shoes are adorable too (despite your pain in wearing them). I actually just bought a pair of peep toes from Forever 21 online and ran into the same problem with sizes. I'm a 6 /12 and they only had a 6 and a 7. I went with the smaller size, and they pinch my feet just a little, but I am pretty them in no matter what! What we go through for beauty and fashion :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and your comment was so sweet! Thanks :) I love reading your blog!
Cute!!! And you hair looks lovely as always. Socks... adorable. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Jenn :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I actually do want to make more shirts for sale, but I'd need more shirts. There are some tutorials online on shirt cutting if you want to try it out. It's a lot of fun =)
This is such a cute outfit, btw. I loove your shoes. Hopefully they stretch out to a comfortable size soon <3
Your new layout is incredible - great job! It was worth putting off homework!

Nice change, but background is a little sad.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shoes, look great particularly with this pattern on socks.
Forever 21 has so stepped up their game in terms of shoes - I keep stumbling upon pairs that I want to buy. But alas, I can't buy anymore shoes - I already went a little wild with Cynthia Vincent for Target. :P
ReplyDeleteLoving your new layout - the three column look is my favorite!! :)
Thanks for your sweet comment!
ReplyDeletetotally love the look!

Hello lovely! Just checking up on your blog. Not sure why you weren't on my blogroll but I just added you. great photos and outfits as always.
ReplyDeleteSorry they squish your toes, but they're super cute! I love the little heart socks you paired with them. I have really been wanting to try out the socks with heels look.

Wow, the blog is awesome! You really did a nice job around hee :) I wish I knew how to make it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, you're shining on those shoes, the outifit is simple but it's also chic matching with your mood and background! I looooved every single piece of it =)
Ahh, I know how it feels when the shoes are not our size, this is the big issue for me nowadays. I have big feet and it isn't easy for me to get pretty + COMFORTABLE heels =/ If I decide to call them 'motherfuckers' and bring them home I regret the other day :P
Anyways...
About the song on my last post, yes, the movie Once is AMAZING! It's on the top of my favorite movies list, below Amelie hahaha <3
I loved Glen's voice and I have the wole soundtrack here in my pc. If you want to download it, follow this link: http://www.4shared.com/file/p1B8g7sX/Once_-_Soundtrack_2007.htm
Have a lovely weekend, flower!
beijos :*
adorable socks + shoes combo! love the color of the skirt too <3
ReplyDeletei'm a 6 1/2 and size 7 in forever 21 is too big for me while size 6 is too small. weird =/
Oh sweet new layout Jenn! Loving those shoes and socks. And no worries, I literally face planted the other night in heels causing my friends to force me to take the metro instead of walking any further...I'm practicing! We'll both get better at it in time no worries :P
ReplyDeleteAdorable shoes! I'm seeing a lot of hunter green around lately and I'm liking it! It definitely looks good on you! :)
ReplyDeleteNow you know; always go a size up!
ReplyDeleteThe things we women do for fashion. (I, too, have shoes that kill...not to be confused with killer-shoes.)
The new look is great on your bliggity blog! And those high heeled oxfords are steal-worthy.. great scott I want a pair.
ReplyDeletecute cute cute! bummer about the heels giving you pain though. I've been wanting a pair like that forever!
ReplyDeleteI like the changes to your blog. good work! :)
