We leave for NYC next Tuesday. The sisters/cousin trip to the city! Oh my gracious, we are a tad excited. What to pack? What to wear? What will the weather do? How much luggage? It's tough.
I'm pretty much going with my usual black and gray wardrobe with scarves. I wanted a gold/mustard cardigan this Fall, however; I tried one on and the color was horrible on me. Since I still wanted the gold, I went for the "sexy Boyfriend cords" from the Gap. I won't be rolling them up and I doubt they'll be sexy on me, but they fit, they are comfy and so soft. I think I'm in love.
I bought these gray metallic loafers today, they seem to be comfortable. They are Rocket Dogs.
I bought these black flats today too. They seem to be comfortable. They are Naturalizers and seem a little "old lady" to me.
I started with these black flats, the Molly from Born. I bought them in May and was so excited. I bought them specifically for my trip to NYC and I was in love with them. Naively, I thought they might be the only pair of shoes I'd wear in the city. HAH! I have tried and tried to break them in. Impossible. A friend has these shoes too, she showed me her scabs and scars this afternoon from wearing her pair of Molly flats. I have put them in the stretcher, I have pads in the heels, I've worn them in the house, I've worn them to work. They kill. I quit. I am feeling hate in my heart for these shoes. The shoes from you know where.
I'm really hoping one of the pairs I purchased today can fill the void the Molly flat has left.
It's hard to know which shoes to take to NYC. Comfortable and fashionable and they need to go with several outfits. It's been grueling, folks.
I think I finally have it narrowed down. I'm taking my black boots, black flats(see Naturalizers pictured above), gray flats(see metallic flats pictured above), black heels (for a Broadway Show), leopard print sneakers (for a Central Park walk), my brown Born sandals (cuz I love 'em with jeans and they're comfy),
and flip flops for slippers.
Seven pairs of shoes... I'm trying to pack light.
Hey, before you start judging me... Melinda is taking three pairs of boots!
Anyone want to guess how many pairs of shoes six women will take to NYC?
Anyone want to buy a pair of black Molly's? Cheap.
No matter how many pairs of shoes we bring to NYC,
I'm sure we'll be shopping for more while we're there...

I'm sad about your Molly's. You should try to sell them to Cassi. She loves those flats. If you are desperate you could always soak them in warm water and then wear them while they dry to stretch them out. But that would be a "last ditch before the garbage" type of attempt as I can't promise good results. Hope the new flats are nicer to you. And have fun in New York.
NYC advice--take one pair and buy more there!!! The shoe stores are so tempting there--I wasn't planning on buying any and came home with 3 pair!!! Love~Love NYC shoe stores!!!
Me--I have to wear tennis shoes there becuz we walk so much....just sayin'
I know when we walked and walked and walked in DC, I didn't care what my shoes looked like anymore...And a word of advice: unless you have a couple of hours, don't take your shoes off...because after all that walking they swell up, and sting when you put shoes back on too soon.
I'm sorry about your Molly's: I love mine, but mine are a little large -- maybe that keeps the rub spots down.
