SO LONG FOR NOW

(Picture from October 2011)

We've had a long run with this thing. Well, maybe not so long. Blues and Shoes has been a wonderful source of laughter and smiles. Lately, everything has caught up with us and we find ourselves with less and less time to devote to our blog. We have never wanted this blog to be a source of stress and unfortunately, it has turned into something along those lines. We hope that we provided a good enough distraction for as long we could. It was a great experience and maybe one day, we will return. This is the end for now, though we have appreciated all of the support we have gotten from those of you who have stuck with us from the start. We love you all, but we love each other and our friendship more.

So long for now!

UPDATE

We're going to take a little break from blogging for the next week while we work through the swamp of work we've got and other things going on right now. Expect us back next Friday!

REVERSE

(Velvet Cardigan, Free People Tank, Nordstrom B.P. Leggings, Aldo Booties, H&M Necklace)

Showing up to school with buttons down my back certainly made me a person of interest that day. By now, I'm pretty used to the side comments and weird looks I get from what I wear (as per this). Of course, my huge head of hair certainly doesn't help any attempts I make to be inconspicuous throughout the day. I take it in pride, though, because I'd rather be known as "the girl with the crazy hair who wears her sweaters backwards" than anything else.

FISHTAIL

(Forever 21 Top and Necklace, Delia's Shorts, Steve Madden Sandals, Vintage Earrings)

This post title would have been witty and snappy if I knew how to fishtail braid my hair without killing it. Long story short, my hair doesn't like to be molded into anything besides its natural huge poufiness. Liv makes up for my lack of hairstyle variety by doing things like this in three seconds. I simply throw on a shirt printed with enough fish to fill Lake Michigan. Explains why we work so well together, right?
