Shop Till You Drop

When I was in my 20s, I actually enjoyed shopping. It was fun to be out and about. As I've aged, however, shopping tends to be more of a chore, especially when it comes to clothes shopping. I loathe shopping for clothes for myself, which is why I normally just buy something, then take it home to try it on. 

About a month ago, I was doing a little retail therapy online, looking for a pair of shoes to replace my favorite leather Keds that had seen better days. I came across some Converse shoes that were a suitable replacement. I went ahead and ordered online. But, when they showed up, they were too small. Having never worn (or even tried on) a pair of Converse shoes, I had no idea what my size would be in that brand. I decided that I would go and seek out the same pair of shoes at Macy's so I could actually try them on. Lo and behold, they actually had this particular style in stock! Even better, it was on sale and they had a size to fit me! I was so excited, I went ahead and purchased them and was on my way in less than 15 minutes - most of that spent waiting in line to be rung up.

So, when ninigoesdigi's Shop Till You Drop collab with Designed by Soco came out, I knew exactly what purchase I was going to document - my new Converse shoes!

Aside from loving the colors, the elements and washi tape are just plain fun! And that's how it felt to put the following layout together using one of the included templates from Soco:

I know lots of women who go ga-ga over shoes, but these are more my speed. They will definitely be a part of my everyday wardrobe!
