I (sometimes) buy cheap shoes. I know, they won’t last beyond this season. But Payless? Rocks my socks. I think they do a fantastic job following current trends, which (let’s face it), often change so fast that those expensive shoes end up in the back of your closet anyway. AND it’s BOGO time. How could I resist?

These also come in red and a terrific kelly green. I bought them as teacher work week shoes – more appropriate (and OSHA compliant!) than flip flops, but not as dressy as my other teacher shoes. I have a terrible time with in-between clothes. Either I’m in jeans, flip flops and a t-shirt, or I’m in something that’s probably dry-clean only. What to wear to school when there are no kids there and I’ll be standing on ladders hanging stuff on my walls?? Anyway, the shoes are a nice addition to that in-between wardrobe.
Linen Kastle Tassel Sling, Payless Shoes
I’m going to wear Payless shoes with the poplin BCBG dress. I think in some circles that might just be a fashion crime, but they’re exactly what I was looking for. Quit judging me! 
I love Payless too! Usually, I get all the kids shoes there, because they outgrow them so quick… BUT I bought the youngest(now 3) a great pair of faux crocs there. He has spongebob abd camo and loves them both! And I have an awesome pair of flip-flops I got there. When I was there at the start of the summer, they did not have a lot of flip flops or many that were cute and flip flops that were cute? Well, there was only one kind. But every time I wear them, I get compliments on them They are tres cute!
I love that first pair!!
