Scout has a thing for shoes, too. No, really, she carts them off and cuddles them..

 Actually, she ate them as a puppy. She's since learned that shoes are good things that we want in tact.  Now she just collects them like treasure.  Wonder where she got that from?

It was only a matter of time before shoes landed on my blog.  I know, I know, I should totally be studying right now, but really, after a full day of lecture/lab/astronomical amount of clinical pathology, a girl needs some down time.. (actually I'm flipping between this and lecture slides right now.. I know.. sad).

A lot of people comment on my attire and fashion sense, and I love that.  I know, shocker, I'm a girl who likes attention.  But perhaps I should share some secrets.  I'm a poor vet student, married to a poor grad student, so I rarely buy something without a sale and/or coupon.  Like my current favorite shoes ever: these micro-wedges in multicolor velvet from Aldo that are on sale for $25 here.  They're sold out on aldo's main website, but Amazon still has them.  The floral pattern gives hints of spring season, but the velvet is very much a winter thing.  Kinda like Blacksburg right now: I want it to be spring soooo badly, but it's winter, so warmth and texture is key.  They're the most comfortable cute shoes ever, and they cost less than what I've spent on lunches at school this semester.  Seriously, where are all the free lunches this year??
