I am personally not a fan of black clothing at all, including black shoes. I don think there anything wrong at all with going with a pair of dark brown oxfords; a burgundy/merlot color is more versatile. Keep in mind especially that this is an engineering internship, where I highly doubt anyone going to care whether your shoes are black or brown. If you prefer brown, go brown. Black shoes are boring. Given your price point, definitely go for some Allen Edmonds. The most traditional AE shoes are the Park Ave which you can never go wrong with. If you like to venture out to a little more modern and fashion forward, give the Strands a look. close this windowyou'll need to or register to do thatcreate a new accountall it takes is a username and password.

I will now turn the call over to Mr. Cliff Sifford, president, chief executive officer, and chief merchandising officer of Shoe Carnival, for opening comments. Mr. Sifford, please begin. Thank you, and welcome to Shoe Carnival's second quarter fiscal 2014 earnings conference call. Joining me on the call today is Kerry Jackson, senior executive vice president, chief operating and financial officer. For today's call, I will give a high level review of the company's second quarter performance and provide some insight into the back to school season. Kerry will review second quarter financial results along with third quarter and second half guidance and then we'll open up the call to take your questions. Comparable store sales for the second quarter decreased 2.1%, driven primarily by the decline of traffic in our brick and mortar stores. Traffic was down high single digits for the quarter, driven by three components: the industry wide lack of fashion drivers in the non athletic side of the shoe business, the uncertain economic environment for our consumer, and a change in our circular advertising strategy. The losses incurred during the two weeks affected by the change of our circular strategy accounted for approximately half of our comparable store sales loss for the quarter. This particular marketing change helped fund a more aggressive television strategy for the back to school time period. I'll address that shortly. Conversion, average units per transaction, average unit retail, and average transaction were all positive for the quarter. Merchandise margins were down 20 basis points as we continue our markdown strategy on slow selling spring and summer styles. Gross profit decreased by 90 basis points as a percent of sales, while SG was deleveraged by 160 basis points as a percent of sales, resulting in EPS for the quarter of $0.13, which was within our previously stated guidance of $0.12 to $0.16. Although we don't report ecommerce sales separately, we were pleased with the sales increase we experienced for the quarter. As I mentioned on our last call, with are in the process of moving away from our third party fulfilment arrangement and transitioning to shipping primarily from our stores. We will utilize our Evansville distribution center for certain key items and promotional products for peak sales periods. This initially will vastly improve the selection of styles and ensure a depth of sizes available online which should, in turn, improve conversion significantly. We are currently ahead of our plan to have this completed by the end of the third quarter. In addition to our ship from store initiative, within the next several weeks, we will launch our first ever mobile app. This will allow us the opportunity to interact with our customers regardless of where they are in their daily lives. Our Shoe Perks customer loyalty program is on pace to exceed our stated goal of 6 million members by the end of this year. I can't stress enough how important this initiative is, as we navigate through the changing trends in marketing. Today's consumer is spending more time in the digital space. They interact with their friends and favorite retailers in all forms of social media. They receive the information that is important to them in their email inboxes. We must be able to communicate with them personally and know their wants, needs, and shopping habits. Our loyalty program is the avenue to get us there. For the second quarter, Shoe Perks customers again accounted for more than 40% of our total sales. Our marketing team and store personnel have done an outstanding job of growing this important program. Continuing with marketing, as I mentioned earlier, with back to school being our most important time period, we initiated the strategy to be more aggressive with our television cadence. We felt that advertising on national cable television, along with our normal marketing cadence, would help reenergize our consumer and drive more traffic for this critical time period. There is no way to directly quantify the results of any television marketing. However, we did experience an immediate improvement in traffic and sales once we began the back to school television campaign. As a result, after mid single digit comparable sales declines for May and June, our July comp store sales were up 1%. We ended the quarter with inventory down approximately 2.2% on a per store basis, which was in line with our expectations. As we have stated in the past, we will continue to put pressure on our per store inventories in support of our strategic initiative to increase inventory turns. I am pleased with the execution of this initiative by the merchants as they lowered inventory levels in our smaller volume stores while maintaining depth of key items as we headed into the back to school season. Moving on to merchandise, after the unusually cold and wet first quarter, we were look forward to a second quarter of sandal sales to lift our comparable store sales as the category did last year. We recognized within the first few weeks of May that the customer was not responding to this category as they did in 2013. With that knowledge, we addressed prices aggressively, and we began to liquidate the product. I'm pleased to report that inventory levels in opened up footwear are down double digits on a per store basis, as compared to the same time period last year. Drilling down by department, our women's non athletic department sales for the quarter were down mid single digits on a comparable store basis. In addition to sandals, we saw a decline in dress shoes and boat shoes. However, we did experience robust sales in comfort casuals, molded footwear, and canvas casuals. Comparable store sales in our 108 better brand stores, which are located in higher income localities, performed much better, not only in women's non athletic department but also in the overall store sales results. This initiative is working, and we are continuing to roll it out to additional stores. In our men's non athletic department, we ended the quarter with a high single digit decrease on a comparable store basis. We did see increases in the campus casual classification, but not enough to overcome the sales decline in both shoes and men's sandals. Our children's business ended the quarter with a low single digit comparable store sales increase. For girls, the quarter was all about canvas casuals and sandals. For boys, basketball, running, and canvas were the key categories. In adult athletics, comparable store sales were up low single digits for the quarter. We experienced a nice quarter of women's running, men's and women's canvas, and men's cross training. Turning now to store expansion, we ended the second quarter of 2014 with 398 stores, operating in 33 states and Puerto Rico. We opened a record number of 16 new stores in the second quarter, including the two new markets of Buffalo, New York, and Miami, Florida. For the remainder of 2014, we expect to open an additional nine stores and relocate one store. Our current plans call for closing two stores by the end of the year, ending fiscal 2014 with approximately 405 stores. We could close an additional three to four stores by the end of the year, depending on continuing negotiations with landlords. Air Jordan 10 Retro White Old Royal Stealth,Hi, I'm Nequan Peartree, from Shoe Diva, located in Wilmington, North Carolina, and today, we're going to talk about how to clean shoes. The best way to clean shoes, is to take a cloth. Make sure that it's clean. It could be old or previously used. You'll first want to dab a little bit of the solution, on to the cloth, and if you're talking about cleaning a canvas shoe, you don't want to apply the solution to the shoe. You would want to apply it to the cloth, so that you're not saturating the shoe, and you want to just dab whatever the place, you're trying to clean the shoe. Just dab it gently. You don't want to scrub, because scrubbing will embed the dirt into the shoe, and just keep dabbing until you see that the stain or the dirt, has been removed. You also want to pay attention to the sole. You want to take the cloth, kind of gently rub around the sole, to get rid of any dirt or grime build up on the shoe. Now, that's how you want to clean canvas shoes. If you're talking about a leather shoe, or a PVC shoe, you also want to take, using a clean cloth,and a solution of your choice, or just water, and just gently rub the shoe, not scrub too hard, so that you won't damage or scuff the leather, and make sure you get the heel of the shoe. Pay attention to those, because a lot of times dirt gets stuck around in the cracks, and over time, that dirt can build up, and those are tips on how to clean shoes.

If not please let me know and I will be more than happy to answer more for you! :) My StoryMy Scentsy BeginningMy life had never been easy, but I truly believe (at least I do now) that everything happens for a reason. My personal challenges have made me stronger and more understanding. I went through two unsuccessful marriages. I was told that I would NEVER accomplish anything without "him" and was the sole wage earner for 13 years. I have no regrets, cause I wouldn't be the person I am today without my past. It has made me a very Positive person and I love to share that positivity. I am now with the man of my dreams! He is supportive and loving. I run our household as a stay at home mom and do bookkeeping for 2 other businesses from our home. I had researched home based businesses. I had always wanted to run MY Own home based business. I was told I would never be able to. I tried so many different avenues and nothing ever seemed to fulfill me or even show success. I have always wanted to Teach, Sell, Lead, work on computers and make money! I never found anything that fit my 100% of my skills. Many times I would think of things like making and selling candles (I love candles), teaching one on one computers (did that for 3 years), maintaining an eBay store (not successful), or having my own walk in store (too expensive), just to keep the sales blood flowing through me. I love people and I love making people happy by sharing something they love with them! My daughter had brought home a fundraiser her Sophomore Year with a company that sold scented wax or at least that's all I thought it was. I bought some wax just to support her class. I had no idea what this wax would mean to me two years later. I sold Avon for 12 years, thinking someday I would have a team of my own or make the big check, but really never had much luck with gaining income from it. I tried hard to recruit and gain new customers. I think I can safely say in one year's time I had profited about $800. In Dec of 2010, I had organized my holiday Extravaganza Benefit which was including 5 other Direct Sales vendors including my Avon that year. I saw a post on Facebook one day asking if anyone was looking for extra income. I questioned my friend about it, since I loved scented candles. She asked if I wanted to host a party at my event. I quickly replied that I didn't have time to look over 2 tables. She responded, I will send you the catalogs and order forms, just plug the warmer you already have with some wax melting and leave it. I told her that I would do that but not to expect much. When the event ended that day and I was cleaning up, I noticed $300 worth of orders sitting on the table. I had done nothing!!! A week later I decided to invest the $99 for my starter kit! At least, if it didn't work out, I would get more than that in stuff from my kit. Could it have been that easy? Needless to say, I signed up on Dec, 30th 2010 and have never looked back. In 12 years of selling Avon I never have had as much fun or made as much money as I have with Scentsy. The thing is I never changed what I was doing or how I was doing it. It fits who I am and works how I work. Scentsy provides the most training I have ever seen in the Direct Selling industry and the support from other consultants is completely different than other Direct Selling Companies! With Scentsy, I teach/coach and lead/share with my team, I work on computers by placing orders and running my own websites and I am making money. Could it possibly be that it is fulfilling all my work roles? All the things I craved in a job? My personal needs? You have no idea how this company has made me feel. I am a Stronger, more Successful woman. I always knew I could, just never had the company or opportunity to prove I could! It made changes in my life I didn't even know were possible or that I even knew I needed changing. Positive things are happening. I do believe that everything happens for a reason. My reason for buying a bar of wax from my daughter's fundraiser was to introduce me to a positive change. Starting with Scentsy has changed my life. It changed my outlook on life and gave me so many new things to look forward to each day!
