My go-to shoes

As I started reading more personal style blogs, I noticed that many of the bloggers repeated their shoe choices... a LOT. I was seeing the same 3-4 pairs of shoes every week. I thought this was odd. These are fashionistas - don't they have entire closets devoted just to shoes?

Maybe they do. If they do, though, they still wear the same ones a lot - just like the rest of us, I realized! I own more shoes than I use. Some are occasion shoes - necessary for interviews, weddings, and other events that only come up sometimes but need particular sartorial options. But more often than not, I find myself using the same shoes over and over again, completely neglecting others.

Lately, these have been my go-to shoes:

I have worn these shoes at least three out of five workdays a week for the past two months, mostly with dresses, but sometimes with cropped pants. I love Blowfish shoes in general, but there's just something about these (purchased in 2008, maybe?) that I just love. They're holding up well, too (phew!).

Realizing that I was reusing the same shoes repeatedly just like some style bloggers do made me feel better about doing it. I love these shoes and they suit my days perfectly. Why add variety just for the sake of variety? If the t-strap ain't broke...

Do you have any go-to shoes? Or a go-to scarf, shirt, pair of earrings, etc?
