I just spent another glorious and glamorous day in SoHo at the IFB Conference where I was inspired by dozens of my favorite fashion bloggers. It’s always wonderful chatting with empowered and passionate women like myself and sharing blogging stories and successes. Since I wore my Ann Taylor skirt yesterday, I decided to sport some casual denim on day two. I paired my jeans with my new favorite Loft blouse, a statement necklace and peeptoe pumps. Comfy, colorful and chic.

Oh wait, did I mention that I met Iman today?! Yep, IMAN! First of all, she is stunning. She is 57 and her skin better than mine. She is flawless. Iman was a completely motivating speaker – smart, witty and authentic.

 
My favorite, key takeaway from hearing Iman speak was her view on success. She said, “Success is not what you do, it is what you inspire others to do.” Isn’t that such a lovely view of achievement? Not only to be satisfied and motivated by your own work, but to inspire others with your intense sense of passion for what you do. I can only hope that my passion for fashion, writing and (of course) shoes comes through in a way which inspires others. After all, Sharing My Sole is really my creative sanctuary to share my zest and enthusiasm for all the things I love. I truly hope you enjoy reading my posts as much and I enjoy writing them.

Another precious week of summer has flown by. I was so grateful this week for a little break in the heat so I could actually wear a cardigan and not feel uncomfortably hot. Here are all of the lovely shoes I wore this week…

It’s the end of Polka Dot Week and I wanted to finish it off with my favorite dotted blouse. This little half-button pop-over is a closet staple and really goes with everything. I love pairing it with denim, coral shorts and I’ve even tucked it into a green skirt for an office friendly look. The polka dot pattern is completely on trend with nearly any color and it even looks great with a hint of leopard (gasp!)

Blouse: J.Crew
Sunglasses: Jessica Simpson
Bracelets: Banana Republic
Watch: Michael Kors
Denim: Ann Taylor
Clutch: TJ Maxx
Heels: Nine West

P.S. Don’t forget tomorrow is the last day to enter the Summer Clutch Giveaway! Go go go!

Polka Dot Week continues with a flirty and feminine polka dot dress.  I found this little gem at T.J. Maxx a few years ago and it looks great alone or under a crisp white suit jacket.  I paired it with a teal clutch for a little pop of color and nude heels to finish off the look.  Who doesn’t want a LPDD (little polka dot dress) to throw on and feel fabulous?

I’m back to traveling again, so I spent part of my week at home and the rest in beautiful Chicago.

Want to know how “Daily Shoe in Snap Shots” started?  Back in April I noticed that when I pass people by, they are often staring at my feet.  At first I thought I should be offended at this and yell “Hey, I’m up here!” but I just take it as a compliment.  They are simply staring at my shoes.  So, I thought why not celebrate my large collection of fabulous footwear?  And so, “Daily Shoe in Snap Shots” was born!

In case you’re not an Instagram user yet, here’s what I’ve been snapping away on my phone this week and posting to Twitter.
