Shoes

"Cinderella is proof that a single pair of shoes can change your life." I'm not sure who said that but I like it.

I've been known to be a bit of a shoe-hound. I have several pair. I currently only have 21 pair. When I married, my husband told me I needed to get rid of some shoes. I boldly went through my 43 pair at the time and very reluctantly tossed out 13 pair. I was, of course, heart broken and within a week had purchased 2 new pair to fill in the empty spaces in my closet.

I admit, I can go overboard. I've been known to purchase a pair of shoes that will simply go with only 1 outfit. What's a girl to do? And what girl can pass up a buy 1, get 1 half off sale? I'm trying to be a bit more conservative when I shoe shop, after all we're in a recession. To prove my point, I just purchased a super cute heel on sale for $10.99, marked down over 50% off. Can you believe it? When I showed my husband he stated, "Don't you already have those?" I said, "Honey! Those are black leather. These are brown suede. Totally different shoes." He simply rolled his eyes and sighed as he knew he was defeated in any argument he may have wanted to incur.

Shoes are like comfort food. They give pure satisfaction and unconditional love. The bonus is there is no caloric intake. This makes them even more coveted. BoGo anyone?
