It’s still quite hot here during the day, so I am slowly inching my way into fall clothes in the late afternoon/evening. I recently purchased these ankle boots and am so impressed by the quality. They are my first pair of Sam Edelman shoes, but the shape and style make them look like a much more expensive pair of designer boots. In fact, they look very much like this pair which is almost 4 times the price! I don’t always buy inexpensive pieces of clothing or shoes just because it’s a good deal – I want to feel like no matter how little I am spending, the look and style is there that I want. No use in having a closet full of inexpensive pieces if everything has a cheap look to it or doesn’t hold up well over time. I can justify splurging on designer things because I research my purchases quite thoroughly, but a less expensive item can trigger an impulse spend and impulsive “cheap” spends can add up over time. Sometimes they can add up to that designer piece I had initially wanted! 
Well that’s enough on my budgeting theories, I just ordered three more books for my Kindle and am continuing my reading frenzy. LOL I am working my way through this book, and have this one and this one waiting for me. I am also contemplating renewing our Netflix subscription so I can watch Narcos and Stranger Things because I hear everyone raving about them. Ugh. I am so easily influenced by hype. Ha! 
After falling in love with my new Sam Edelman boots, I rounded up a bunch of other styles that I adore from the brand. Scroll through the widget below for all my picks!
