mama gets a new pair of shoes

i needed a NEW pair of shoes.  i am so often pulled into the $2 shoe phenomenon.  there is a thrift shop called "isabelles" right behind where i work.  i know, dangerous, right?  well, they always sell their shoes for $2.  they are used, but usually in really good condition.  so, i usually just wait till i find a pair in there.  i mean, if i can buy a pair of shoes for $2 and recycle them for me to wear, why pay more, right?  well, i was looking for a pair of shoes to go with a dress i need to wear to a wedding at the end of the month and i didn't find what i was looking for, but i found these.  how perfect.  and what is better is that they are GREEN!  they are made by simple and are eco sneakers.  they have organic cotton uppers, organic cotton linings, a recycled PET pedbed, AND a recycled car tire outsole.  i mean these are darn cute and eco friendly.   i love this.  and the best part of all?  $15 new!  i have got a new spring in my step this spring...
