I like shoes. I won't say I like them as much as the next woman because that would be a big fat lie. The thing I do like about shoes is that there is no shame in sizes. If you gain a few pounds you don't have to sneak over to the women's section to see if they have anything that fits. That being said, I don't have as many shoes as the average woman. That would be because I am shoe impaired. I try. I do try, but I fail so often at this shoe thing.
See these purply pink shoes? These are my latest purply pink fail.
I walked around the store in them. well okay, I walked up and down the shoe aisle in them. Hey, I figured I could still totally rock the high heel thing! I was going to be awesome at Easter. Yeah, I can do this! At home, well they seemed much higher than they did in the store and I couldn't keep the darn things on my feet! hmm, maybe those athletic socks I had on in the store were a bad idea.
FAIL
daughter number 3 is now the proud owner of these.
Blue suede shoes. With peep toes!
and bows on the back! I think it was the bows that sucked me in.
I've had these in the box for about 6 years. Have I worn them?
one time.
to church.
where I sat down the entire time.
Daughter number 2 wants these.
FAIL, Blue suede fail.
LORD! PLEASE LORD!!! TELL ME WHAT I WAS THINKING????
that is a BIG BLACK UGLY FAIL.
No one wants these!
The above ankle boots are my Christmas FAIL.
I think they make my feet look like the fetlocks on a Clydesdale.
sigh, a HORSEY FAIL.
Daughter number 3 wants these too.
did I mention that these were a FAIL.
I know I did, but I had to revisit them
because that toe detail still makes me want to think I could rock them.
These, these Birkies are the loves of my lives! However many lives I have, they are the loves!
No fail here!!!!
These live in the place of honor in the closet when they are not on my feet.
not too bad, I can wear them, keep them on my feet and not feel horrible afterwords. However, they do SOUND like a horse so they are not a total success either. Still they can live in the closet.
ahhhhh comfy, almost as comfy as my Birkies. These used to be white, but when they got stained I dyed them with humming bird food to make them pink. Don't ask I have no idea why, some things you just go with. These live in the closet.
These are a semi fail. They are hand me ups from the lovely Miss V. They are almost comfortable, no arch support so not a real walking shoe. High tops by definition are a bit of a pain to put on and take off, but look at the floral lining! Sigh, I'm a sucker for that sort of thing, so they live in my closet and I pretend I'll wear them some day.

Thank you for a good chuckle this morning. Those Birkies sure look familiar. I just got new RED ones, to go with the black, brown and beige, so I'm stylin now, LOL!
I knew you liked shoes, but I had no idea you really liked the girly-gilr types! I've only seen you wear the really comfy ones.
I have a confession: I own very few pairs of shoes. Not that I don't like them, because I really do! My daughter number one and daughter number three are the ones with the shoe fetish. We even have a picture of daughter number 3 in FL at a shoe store taking in a big whiff of the leather and saying "I love that smell!"
When I was climbing the corporate ladder, I had a lot of girly shoes with heels. Now that I'm in a different environment (and older), my shoes tend toward running, walking or birkies. I did just buy these boots yesterday, btw, for hiking, doncha know.
If they don't have cork, throw them out! That's my motto. But just so you don't feel alone, I have a whole crate full of hurtful, evil shoes. I only wear my Birks. Life is too short to let friends wear shoes that hurt. So there.
