I've been mostly lurking and responding to other people's posts, without starting any threads of my own, for several months. I feel like I'm caught in a strange crack of needing some new clothes for the season but not wanting to buy anything now as my size should be changing markedly pretty soon (currently four months pregnant). So, I've just been wearing the same few things over and over - at least I like most of my core wardrobe. Uninteresting fodder for WIW posts!

I have hit an unexpected snag. A pregnancy-related change to my posture has rendered me unable to wear anything but flat shoes. I never wear high heels, anyway, but even an inch or two of heel height makes my shins unbearably sore for days. I am down to two pairs of wearable shoes: black and grey argyle sneakers reminiscent of Converse styling and black silk ballet flats. Both pairs are so worn as to be barely presentable. In fact, they may be beyond that point! The ballet flats will also freeze my feet if it ever really turns winter this year here in Oklahoma.

I need to find two pairs of shoes to replace the above mentioned ones. I look at the brands I usually like, and my mind is just a blank. I think I need some fresh ideas from you all.

I attach pictures of my favorite shoes, both Angie picks: Sam Edelman python booties and Jeffrey Campbell Williams oxfords. I can currently wear neither of these (nor my black boots, not pictured) due to their heel height. Hopefully these can give you a sense of my style. I usually wear black, grey, and cream with teal, fuchsia, and aubergine accents. I'm a MOTG and usually find myself in skinny jeans and modest tops. Any tips for a micro-sized shoe capsule suited to my needs much appreciated!
