I'm a pretty conservative dresser. There's nothing more I like throwing on then a simple shirt and a pair of jeans or a simple summer dress. But what always makes me feel a little less plain and more confident are a good pair of shoes that just make the whole outfit stand out.

I bought these shoes from Banana Republic. I was window shopping on their website and saw the Shey Sunburst Wedge. They were a little more expensive ($120) than I wanted to spend, but I knew I wanted them. I mostly have black or gold shoes. So the Flame color appealed to me, and it looked different than all my other shoes.

The first time I wore them, I kept admiring them in the mirror before I left for work. And on the way to work and at work, I could see other people admiring them and then complimenting them.

Now I wear them when my outfit needs something to "pop" and it always makes me feel more confident and happy about myself. There's really nothing like a good pair of shoes!
