The average women’s shoe size is a 7 or 8 which means that when stores order a shipment of shoes they order more in those sizes. I personally have small feet (5 1/2) and while I can sometimes get away with wearing a 6 it doesn’t always work, especially when it comes to flats and pumps. And then there’s the problem of fighting over the two pairs of size 6 sitting next to five boxes of size 7 on the shelf.
The other day I was pleasantly surprised to see that Aldo shoes has a “Special Sizes” section on their website. Currently there are only size 5 and size 11 options but that’s an improvement from designers who completely ignore the small/big footed minority.
Joanne and I (Delisa) started this tumblog with the idea to offer bargain shopping ideas to women on a budget. However, along the way I started to realize that not all women have the same style as I do or shop at the same stores as I do. So while I may like dresses and skirts, maybe you’re a jeans and cute blouse kind of woman.
I’m just reaching out to our few followers to find out what you would like to see from us? Are there certain stores/websites you want us to keep an eye on? Should there be a certain kind of outfit featured every day? Like maybe something for the preppy woman, the rocker woman and the business woman, etc? Let us know what you want to see and thanks for following!

As expressed in a previous post, I’m not a huge fan of AA because they are a bit pricey for simple basic items. Nevertheless I do like the store because it allows a lot of freedom when it comes to what items to wear and how to put them together. Likewise, Uniqlo does the same thing but their items are more detailed rather than just the plain t-shirt, legging, leotard etc.
Style is very subjective and sometimes that keeps people from having fun with it but I think shopping and getting dressed shouldn’t be a hassle. You should enjoy what you’re wearing and feel great in it.
