In some way, shape or form, we have all been effected by the recession.  You might have noticed prices for things skyrocketing, job opportunities diminishing or even your own financial situation dwindling.  Unfortunately, it seems that this recession isn’t going to have an end any time soon.  The thought of cutting back on my enjoyable expenses (i.e shoes), literally makes me dizzy.  How can I live without great footwear?

A new pair of shoes can always bring a smile to one’s face, especially if they get a sweet deal on them!

I found a few pairs of HOT shoes under $50.  It’s a great time to look at good deals all over the place.  Whether you need a pair of shoes for a particular event or just want a new pair for fun and play, this should help you sort through the thriftier vs. the more exorbitant priced ones!

Keep these hard times looking brighter in a pair of Steve Madden Shuttle Sandals.  The patchwork and colorful leather pattern keeps feet looking vibrant and fun throughout a tough recession such as this.

If you find yourself surviving this ordeal with lots of Happy Hours and outings, then you’ll need a festive heel to accompany you.  This Jessica Simpson Greymer Heel is stylish, sexy and affordable!

Enjoy the summer, even through hard times, as long as you do some fancy footwork.  These Snick Snack Sandals by Tribeca remind us of an enjoyable outdoor picnic in the park.  The green fabric and cork heel scream “summertime fun.”
