Sunday afternoon I started having a bit of a panic attack. Luckily, Sue was at my place and when I looked at her with wide eyes and said, “Can we go shoe shopping?” she quickly obliged.
I don’t know why, but just looking at shoes can help calm me.
We headed to a rather large local Marshall’s (and later TJ Maxx) and found the following gems that made me laugh, scratch my head, and make me forget temporarily about why my anxiety was running so high.

This is the perfect outfit for a cool night out in South Beach or for hunting Brucey the Fabulous Bear.

It’s a sneaker and a wedge and you don’t even have to tie them!

Exotic Dancers take back the night with this studded shoe. High fashion meets functional self defense.
(Note the security tag. Like someone would steal these?)

(Not pictured: black flats with spikes on just the toe area which we decided was for when you really need to kick someone in the ass and actually do damage. )
***Marshall’s and TJ Maxx did not compensate me for this post. The opinions are all my own.***


I’m particularly proud that we found those turquoise jeans to complete the ensemble.
I am a little sad that the picture of the studded peep-toe doesn’t quite capture the gold-glitter fabulousness. Sigh.
I’m glad I was there. Thanks again for breakfast!
I have to give you credit for finding the jeans! You’re welcome for breakfast, I’m so glad you were there
Oh good lord ! What kind of drugs are the designers on for your NY chains ! I see why shoe shopping in these stores calm your anxiety ! Comic relief !
A good laugh is good for lots of things!
Bwa-hahahaha.
TJ Maxx by me… sometimes security tags the peep toes together IN THE FRONT… so how does one TRY THE HIDEOUS SHOES ON?!
Love the outfit! It would be funny if you two tried them on and had a worker take a picture of you! I’d totally do it!
Really? Wth? Some people just don’t think…or it was a guy.
When I’m more comfortable with my size again, I’ll be happy to model some of the outfits we find.
Everything looks spectacular. I need it all. Immediately.
Haha. I knew you would! They’re holding your sizes.
Oh I love Marshalls!!! BTW, how big are those shoes???
