Visible Monday #45: I Pose With Only My Toes

Welcome to Visible Monday #45! If you want to participate, it's so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple how-to.

You may remember when I wrote about ordering some very flirty, colorful shoes to spice up my Spring/Summer wardrobe. I had purchased these beauties:

Poetic License "Dear Diary"

But they hurt! And that is a situation up with which I will not put. So back they went, with a few heavy sighs.

Then I found these Sofft sandals, at Nordstroms, for $79.90. You probably already know: Nordie's offers free shipping both ways, so it's easy to take a chance on a pair of cute shoes.

And the clouds parted and the sun shone. I really heart these shoes. They're comfortable, colorful, affordable and Very Visible!

Yes, blue suede shoes!

Can you see how cute the soles are? A shame to scuff them up!


I didn't feel great this week, so shooting pics of shoes was a relief, aesthetically  : >


Now, let's see what you're wearing!!

The guidelines to participate in the Visible Monday Link-Up are so simple!
  1. Any Monday, whoever wants to can join in! Just compose a post that includes any outfit, accessory, piece of jewelry, hairstyle, cosmetic or other adornment that makes you feel more confident, alive and visible that day.
  2. Include a link to Not Dead Yet Style somewhere in your post.
  3. Go to the bottom of this post and click on this cute little link:


In the "Next Step", you crop the pic (easy tool) you want to display, and you're done!

  2. The soles are so cute! They remind me of Camper shoes - a Spanish brand that also adorns the soles of their shoes.
