shoes

Shoes..what a weird title for a blog entry right? Well it is a love hate thing.  I really do love shoes.  I love how they make an outfit.  But you see I am down to one pair now.  And that pair consists of tennis shoes.  I have never had many shoes.  But I can dream right?  I dream of them at times but in reality my feet are so big that it is very hard to find cute shoes that look good.  YES they probably make HUGE WIDE CUTE SHOES....but this woman can't afford those.  And this woman needs shoes for work but I refuse to pay too much for them.  I am VERY FRUGAL.  And I mean VERY.  I love garage sales and goodwill and hand me downs. But it isn't likely I am going to find a size 11 wide shoes in any of these places.  I was so excited about four years ago when I found two pair of size 11 shoes at a store in Virginia when we lived there.  I bought two pair.  A black pair and a brown pair.  AND they were only $3/each and brand new.  WOO HOO. They were cute.  BUT just recently they both wore out and so I am left with just a pair of MENS tennis shoes.  YEAH that's right.  I can't fit into a woman's shoe.  That doesn't really bother me so much.  I don't mind wearing mens tennis shoes but it would be so nice to be able to find a really nice pair of shoes that fit and looked cute for super cheap.  Probably not gonna happen though.  So I am glad I can wear my tennis shoes to work at the school.....for now anyway. 

Don't get me wrong....I am truly grateful for my feet. I am so grateful I can walk. I know there are those who would die to have my feet (don't know why).  There are those who would probably say that I am being ridiculous.  But it has always been such a frustrating thing for me.  I see these super cute flip flops that I would LOVE to wear.  BUT no I buy mens flip flops too.  UGH....

So if you see me wearing the same shoes ALL THE TIME....I am.  And not really by a whole lot of choice. I  mean if I were rich I am sure I would go buy me a bunch of cute shoes.  So my choice of shoe for church is pretty lame.  I feel like an old woman for sure.  I have one pair of black shoes and one brown pair (that are hard to walk in) and I have some white/tan flats that are a million years old.

Does it sound like I am complaining?  I am.......a little.  So all you who have small cute feet....you better appreciate it.  And you better not complain around me.  Cause I won't hear of it.

So unless I get rich or my feet shrink you will see me in the same ol' shoes.
