Splurge & Save: Gold Glitter Heels

I hope everyone is having an amazing Thursday... I know I'm not. Today I had a few doctor appointments and I had to get needles and a heart monitor put onto me. I was going through some heart palpitations and trouble breathing so I had to get a heart monitor put on me and had to have some blood taken. Ok I know that nobody LIKES getting needles but I'm TERRIFIED. No I don't think you understand I mean TERRIFIED. I was having a panic attack before getting it, then I got the needle, fainted, woke up, puked and then had to be put into another room where I could lay down to get my second needle.. let's just say I'm not okay with needles... at all... loved how the nurse talked to me as a 9 year old trying to calm me down saying I was doing a great job!! (it did calm me down a bit though during the second needle). Then I had to go to another appointment where they put the heart monitors on me.. Paul says I look like a robot with all these wires everywhere and I have to press a button and write in a diary every time I feel short of breath or experiencing heart palpitations. I HOPE I'm okay, I'm pretty sure everything is fine it's just a precaution. 

Since launching Oh Summer Candy, I wanted to focus a lot of my blog on teaching female's how to be more careful with their money and how you can still look fabulous frugally. Reading through magazines all my life, I always saw those magazine articles where they would show you a ridiculously priced item and compare them to similar looking items that don't break your budget. This inspired me to start posting Splurge & Save. I will show you an overpriced piece of clothing or accessory and show similar affordable items. 


Gold is commonly associated with being wealthy, but you don't need to spend the money to look like you have money! Gold glitter pumps were a must have for every girl's New Years Eve outfit, but you are still able to wear them for any occasion or night out with your girflriends all year long. They are perfect to pair with your little black dress to give some personality to your outfit.
