Why didn’t I know this?

February 6, 2010 | No mom jeans

You think “Victoria’s Secret” and you think “lingerie,” right? (Well, if you’re like me, you probably think, “Why can’t they get more realistic-looking mannequinns?” Am I right, ladies?)

But dang it if I didn’t realize what a cute shoe collection they have! I was watching Wendy Williams (I know - why on Earth did I do that?) and she mentioned that her beyond fab-u-lous five inch pumps were by Colin Stuart. “Very affordable,” she added.

“Colin Stuart, hmmm?” I think to myself. “I’ve heard that name before. Let me see…”

So I Google. And I realize Colin Stuart is with Victoria’s Secret. Sweet! Look at some of my favorites:

Oooh!!! Four inchers are my favorites. And red? Peep toe? Platform? WHERE’S MY DEBIT CARD? These babies run for $69. Totally inappropriate for my day-to-day life, but I’d be happy if I could just stare at these lovelies in my closet every day.

I just started wearing wedges last summer and these babies are FIVE inchers. Oooh, wee! Can you just imagine the curve of your leg in this shoe? Super sexy. Only $65. Can’t beat it. Think I’d be able to wear these, chasing after my toddlers this summer?

Okay, so every pair of shoes I buy can’t be four inches or more. I need some flats. I love metallic sandals because they are great at adding a bit of “Pow!” to an outfit.  Heck, I bought a cute pair of gold Kenneth Cole thong sandals when I was pregnant with my son simply because I thought the gemstones on them would detract from my swollen ankles! These metallic flats would be perfect for me. For you, too, right?

Let me know where you’ve seen some cute shoes lately. We could all use a new pair, right?

As always, you can follow me on Twitter and check out the group on Facebook for more on young motherhood. (Be sure to check out our Question of the Day!) Even if you’re not a “young mom,” you are welcome to join! I'll see you there.

    I found the same thing with Fredrick’s. I like to stalk their show and dress collectionsonline. I haven’t really been thinking shoes these days so I don’t have any to add to the list, but you sure did find some nice styles.

    @Tricia - I am SUPER late! I used to subscribe to their catalogs, but back then, I thought I was “too young” for the clothes, shoes, etc. Now I’m giving them a second look and I love it!

    As a young mother who lives, works, and raises children at home all day long, Wendy Williams is the “girlfriend in my head” who keeps me up on all the lastest gossip and fashion. No shame over here! The shoes are hott tho! I musta misses that episode.

    Now on to flats…. I just adore flats. I couldn’t live without them. My all time favorites are the Jessica Simpson ballet flats. I’ve got them in black and silver. Sooo comfortable!!!
