My Mas Shoes

I "stumbled" across these in the mall....

.....now to work them in

Possible Shoes....

I seen these shoes at Payless for like $17 the other day. I think they are cute and a good alternative from runners and here in Toronto the parade only last hours not days (although I wish)

They also always have that buy one get second half price so I could grab them in white or black as well and I think I would use these shoes again before I would use pink runners....any thoughts????

They also had these available....

(they should reverse the colours here)

Now these ones below don't match but I wish the yellow line was orange (or pink) and the green was orange as well

Same here - wish there was pink in the shoe with some pink laces

Can you tell I got extra time on my hands at work today :)

The shoes for carnival must can't be expensive if you ask me cause its only for one day and the last thing I need is another pair of shoes LOL Online the only shoe store with non-expensive shoes is Payless - guess I got to hit the mall with my cam.
