Shoes. We all wear them. They are the ground beneath our feet. The foundation which we stand on. And for women we have a strange fascination for them some more than others.
Even I would consider myself one of the women who loves shoes. I see a shoe sale and I get giddy with excitement! Sadly, my sense of never-wasting-money-of-things-I-don't-need kicks in more often than I want it too and I don't get many shoes. And after many years of this, I only have about around 6 pairs of shoes not including my mismatched slippers and snow boots.
My purple Converse. These say, I am awesome to sport purple, casual enough for everyday use, and I got them for 3 bucks at Goodwill never used before!
These purple ruffled, 2 inch wedge heal that were technically my first set of heels bigger than 1 inch! Even after two kids, I feet are still size 8! And I am still proud of these shoes and I think they look sexy! They say, "I am confident sexy lady!"...Hubby man would say otherwise, but what do men know about shoes?
Yes, those are sparkles and yes those are sequins! But in the basic color brown so they should match anything I wear!
My second pair of heels and my newest pair of shoes! And I actually paid full price of 25 bucks at Payless. I even had the good excuse of I needed them because I was bridesmaid without any shoes that matched my dress. As you can see still a wedge because I can't walk in actual heels. These are probably the most sensible pair of shoes I have in basic color besides the sparkle tennys above.
And my go too shoes, besides my bare feet. My running shoes with neon green laces and purple accents. (Can you see the purple trend here?) These babies caarry me everywhere. From my morning run to my grocery shopping to Sunday morning church, you will see these shoes on my feet. These replaced my orange and grey Nikes I loved and had so long. (And these are probably the only pair I spent more than 30 bucks on.)
And my last pair I have only worn a few times, my hiking boots! My Aunt gave these to me and I love them to much to get rid of them because I actually use them when I go on hikes! And they are pink! What more can be said!
Okay so my shoe collection leaves much to be desired, but they protect my feet and do the job. I still need to pair of sandals, because sad to say my sandals usually only last me a month before they are decimated.
Basically I am cheap! I can't bare to spend 20 bucks on a pair of shoes I will probably only wear 5 times in a whole year. I stare longing at those awesome boots that would look great with leggings or those jeweled sandals that would be awesome with a sundress, but in the end price wins over style. :(
Maybe though now looking at pitiful shoe collection, I can maybe muster up enough will power to lay the cash down and buy a pair of shoes just for the heck of it!....
Anyways off to Wal-mart to buy a pair of 99 cent flip-flops!
Toodles!
