I looooooove shoes. But lately I find myself wearing a fabulous shoe for my morning photo shoot and then changing into flip flops or other comfies to wear for my real day.

I am wondering how many of you out there that upload self fashion photos do the same? How much do you really punish yourself for fashion? I am just not up for the painful (or heavy) shoe challenge most days.

The photo on the left is me this morning with all good intentions of wearing my new Old Navy grey suede mary-janes with cork platform wedges all day (or until they gave me blisters). Well, they lasted through the drive to work & a couple visits to the bathroom but that is all the legs they had. I have already changed into my cute silver Gap flip flops (purchased on the same shopping excursion).

My thoughts are that they are two very different looks. The first a little lusher thanks to the upgraded shoes, the second more LA cool. Now, I totally dig LA style. One of my fashion idols is Patricia, the founder of StyleDiary. Lurv her!

But how much casual is too much? Besides the shoe issue, I find myself in jeans a good majority of the time. Luckily for me I could wear pajamas to work & not cause too much fuss. My office is very casual. But I still want to be stylish & push the envelope a little.

I do think that both these looks have a place. I will be continuing to show my outfits with my first shoe pick. I will most likely also continue to change later into comfier shoes. At least for work. Going out is different, obviously.
