The Musings of a Working Mom

If your husband is anything like mine, then he would annoyingly and constantly ask why we need a dozen pairs of black shoes when they all look the same?  But do they?  Of course not, we all know that they have different heel sizes, platform sizes, patent, matte, suede, straps, no straps, peep toe, closed toe, open toe...well, you get the point (but why doesn't he?)!  Anywho...we have all of these shoes which means that we are spending a lot of money on these shoes.  And I will be the first to admit that sometimes, a classic, timeless shoe is worth a lot of money and I'll spend my money on an investment shoe like that.  However, shoes that are super trendy and won't last more than a season or two, well I just don't like to spend too much money on these non-investment pieces.  Basically my rule is this: for trendy shoes - I will pay no more than $40!  And I have found a couple of these monthly subscription shoe sites as well as other sites...

There are so many "discount" websites out there that features big brand companies selling high ticket items (or services) for discounted prices.  I love these sites but there is a discount site specifically for mommies called Zulily.com .  I love this site - not only do they feature great deals for mommies, but also clothing, shoes, toys and more for babies and kids.  My kids love Crocs but I hate paying full price for these - but why should I when I can buy them off of Zulily for half the price!  I have bought good quality snow/rain boots for my twins, organization tools for the family, baby shower gifts for friends, as well as clothing and shoes for myself.  The shipping prices are pretty reasonable (usually under $10.00) considering how much you are saving on the items that you are buying.  If you are like me and are always looking for a great deal or sale, then this is the perfect site for you....
