Shoe Shopping

I LOVE shoes. Not like Imelda Marcos loved shoes, but I really do like comfortable new shoes. I bought 3 pairs of Clark's today. I LOVE Clark's and Ecco's. They are finally making some cute shoes that don't look orthopedic! So, I have a pair of cute sandals that I can wear with a skirt or pants, some platform wedge shoes for jeans and such, and a pair of flat slip-on black sandals like the little black dress...something every wardrobe must have.

Now before you think I am nuts, 2 of the three pairs will replace sandals from 2 years ago that are now stretched out and pretty much unusable. So really, I just bought one pair of frivilous shoes. This is simple Katie logic.

Remember back in the 70's when we wore those cork platform shoes? I vividly remember a pair I owned...I thought they were awesome. As I recall the tops were navy "pleather" and I thought I looked great. Then there was the pair of wedge-heeled rubber "thongs" (remember in the 70's no underwear was called a thong!). Those were "oh so cool!" They were rainbow striped. So now I have a brown suede pair that are very comfy and frankly the extra 4" better make me look "thinner." You know, legs and all...

So you ask, how can a retired teacher afford 3 pairs of shoes? Well, I've been working my tush off these last 2 1/2 months. It seems like the least I could do for myself. A better choice than eating out over and over. Oh, and I got 2 of them on sale :)-
