Today’s
feature deal is a pair of Free People Pember lace-up heels which retail for $198
and I got them for $6.99 which is more than ninety percent in savings! These babies not only have the WOW factor,
but the thick heel and soft leather makes them super comfortable. The only problem for people like me who like
to get ready quickly is that they take a few minutes to put on due to the intricate
laces. Yet, once on they are super cute
and best of all don’t hurt my feet (smile).
In my research I found a British celebrity wearing the same pair. Jenny Nelson is part of a pop group called
Little Mix that won the UK version of The X Factor and she sported the same
pair. While she paired hers with a
dress, I took a more casual approach…
Free People is a boho chic brand that I have loved for years they have
really neat, original pieces that speak to my hippie soul; but, it’s also quite
pricy - before thrifting I couldn’t justify spending so much money on their
items. It’s not often that I find things
from this brand in my thrifting escapades and when I do, they generally are not
my size so finding these was such a treat.
Though, I don’t wear heels as much as I used to, now I opt for cute
flats.
As Seen On Jenny Nelson
My feet in
a way have gone through some changes in matters of style too, while I used to live
in heels now my lifestyle calls for more casual wear. After I gained weight I just didn’t feel
comfortable in my skin to dress up like I used to and my pretty heels just sat
gathering dust. In addition, after my
conversion I went from a girl who used to go clubbing every weekend to someone
who would rather spend time involved in faith nourishing activities. These past seven years have seen a lot of
change due to my slow spiritual conversion and while the biggest change has
been internal, what happens inside of me has slowly started showing in my
public image. As, I learned about
modesty, humility and simplicity my choices in dress started to change. At first I went from a girl who couldn’t
leave the house without looking her best to a girl who no longer cared what she
looked like. I went from being always
put together to a sloppy mess and I learned that sloppy wasn’t what the verse, “don’t
be concerned about the outward beauty, of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry
of beautiful clothes…” Going from
literally interpreting the bible to accepting that I need the church’s guidance
for biblical interpretation helped me realize that modesty doesn’t mean to stop
taking care of the physical self. God
loves us all and he made us physically beautiful so we should care for our
bodies. Dirty and unkempt doesn’t
translate to holiness- just look at religious in their habits they are always
positively put together. I am always
astounded, especially with the Dominicans who wear the white habits, how do
they remain so spotless? Every time I
wear a white shirt it takes me less than ten minutes to get dirty.
Found a monogram clutch for 4.99 with my initial!
Virtues are
never an excuse to slack off, they actually help us to become better versions
of ourselves. Modesty has so many layers
to explore, but it begins with an inner change that can be seen outwardly. I slowly
learned that looking unkempt is not what 1 Peter 3:3-4 is saying. Anyway, while I don’t have as many occasions to
wear heels anymore, I am trying to get more pairs that are casual for everyday
life, these babies are just so.
Read the sign. :)
