When one thinks of fashion they might think of sky-high heels and boots. But, sometimes you need something a little more functional, yet still stylish.<\/p>\n

Lately, my wardrobe has been become more casual. I\u2019ve been attracted to footwear that I can wear running errands or working in the yard (now in the leaves and rain, but soon in the snow).<\/p>\n

Being an 80s girl, I always loved Espirit and when I was a kid, we called these brown and black laced boots \u201cduck boots.\u201d I saw this pair and since they brought back great memories and were extremely functional, they went in my cart. \"blog2\" <\/a>
\n<\/a> They would have originally retailed for around $69.99, but I picked them up for just $9.97 at Goodwill in Morgantown, PA.<\/p>\n

Next are these rainy-weather-necessities by L.L. Bean. \"blog3\" <\/a>The leopard print makes them stylish and very useful on damp days. These \u201cWellie\u201d styled boots would have sold for around $89.00, so for only $2.25 from the Reading Outlet, I got another bargain!<\/p>\n

My daughter has been waiting for me to use these turquoise Converse sneakers on my blog ,so they can go in her closet! \"blog4\" <\/a>She and I both love this color and style. It\u2019s basic, yet fun and I see people of all ages wearing and loving Converse. I found these the day of grand opening at Goodwill in Trappe, PA for just $6.97. Retail would be about $50.<\/p>\n

Lastly are these black and white Adidas Dragon sneakers.\"blog5\" <\/a>I found them at Goodwill in East Earl, PA (Lancaster County) and they are in like new \u2013 just $9.97. Online, they are going for up to $100, so I\u2019m pretty happy with this deal! I have loved this style of sneaker since I was in high school. We didn\u2019t have a football team, so all the cool guys played soccer and off the field they wore Adidas.<\/p>\n

All of these shoes are fun, yet functional and are extremely comfortable. No pinched toes or cramped feet here! Sneakers and flat boots give your feet a break from heels and these make you look a little more stylish during your everyday errands! If I had paid retail for all of these shoes, the total would have been over $300, but with Goodwill, I picked up these shoes at an average of 90% off!<\/p>\n
