Oh yes, I feel your pain.
Literally.
As you know back in my more slender years I, too, donned 3-inchers at every opportunity. They made my legs look great, and who doesn’t need that?
Time passed. I developed a small tumor and a BUNION–gross–all payment for shoving my unsuspecting feet into the these razor-sharp, strappy little numbers–whose soul (ha ha–soul–sole–) purpose was to force the immense weight of my upper body into a few square inches around my toe area.
Didn’t stop me at first.
Then came the surgery.
And just a touch of wisdom, which looked a little something like this:
Pain bad. Shoe pretty. Pain kinda bad. Shoe really pretty. Pain liveable. Give glorious shoe another chance.
Yow!!!!!!!!!!! Shoe bad!
Crocs.

So now that my slenderness is nicely insulated from the evil world–smart fashionable footwear is just something I see on television.

Ok I laughed out loud at that one.
I don’t have nearly as many shoes as I used to either. I just can’t justify spending the money on them when I hardly get the opportunity to use them.
Maybe one day – when the kids are supporting themselves? – I’ll have a fabulous pair of black heel again.
(Hopefully I’ll be thin by then too ; ))

Cute.

I am also going through my shoes. We are moving and more and more are being tossed into the give away bag.

It’s hard to part with some of them, but I know I’ll never wear them again. Meanwhile, I bought a pair of heals for next summer on sale at Old Navy ($6). I’ve never had any quite like them before and I can’t wait to try them out!

You gotta get some with funky bunnies or something all big on the toes.
I like shoes too but not that much. I only have about a dozen and I dont wear them all. Moslty my little black flats, my two running shoes, and my yellow ballet slippers. Oh and in the summer its all flip flops. Every year I buy at least one new pair. Wish I could wear them all year long. Some people do up here, the true Oregonians.
Love this blog.

Angela,
It is normal for a SAHM to have more slippers than shoes!…now you can collect comfy, stay-at-home styles! The fluffier, the better, especially as we enter into winter!

Happy slippering!
