OMG October 2021 Non-Beauty Hauls

[sprocketta]

We all love posting in the hauls thread but what about those non-beauty items you bought? Purses, clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories, home stuff and whatever else you picked up! If you bought it, flaunt it! I’ll start the ball rolling. Of you have pre-October items to share, do it.

Thanks @curlychiquita it makes me feel very special

Congrats on the weight loss, @sprocketta! Those boots are super cute. I'm also a big fan of pearls so I adore what you picked out there. Love this idea for a new thread!

[sprocketta]

@quspork I knew pretty much nothing about pearls. I have been wanting to buy a diamond solitaire pendant and saw some pearls and started learning about them and just fell in love. I was really excited to start this thread and happy to see other posts.

@sprocketta - I love the pic!  My sympathy on Joy's passing!  😥

[sprocketta]

Thanks @Titian06 I saw a version with brindle greyhounds and it was too close to home. I miss her terribly but she had a full, happy life.

@sprocketta Love that necklace!

Thanks @Kim888 it looks more peach in this photo but isn’t. I always feel special when I wear it.

Shoes are my hardest item to purchase @sprocketta. When fitted properly I wear size 6.5 EE which is very difficult to find stylish footwear. I inherited my mom’s feet. They are wide towards my toes but narrow by my heels. I have a large bunion on my right foot. Also my calves are not large. I found a couple of pair from Rockport but I am going to have to return them because they hurt my feet.

 I do like collecting sweaters. I recently added a couple of pretty cashmere sweaters to my wardrobe.

@Loretta55 That sounds really tough. I have a friend who wears a size 12 and has similar trouble finding shoes. I can never find the right pair of flats. I live in my fitflop sandals and bought a pair of flats from them so I’ll see how it goes, have you thought about getting something custom-made? Those probably wouldn’t be stylish though.

I also live in my Fit Flop sandals @sprocketta. I have thought about trying custom made shoes but I am not sure where to purchase them. I also would be interested if there would be a guarantee on any pair custom made.

@Loretta55 If you see a podiatrist I would ask them. Not sure how else to find them beyond searching online. Fitflop sandals allow me to go without my orthotics which I appreciate.

[Loretta55]

I tried orthotics @sprocketta but I did not feel like they helped me in any way unfortunately. Too bad I can not wear my Uggs with my uniform to work because sometimes I feel like they are the only closed toe shoes that are comfortable even if they don’t provide any support.
