Shoe addiction?

There was once a time in my life when things were so much simpler in my shoe closet. Many years ago I cared little for the fashion of my shoes. I didn't need many shoes and I didn't care what they looked like. If they were comfortable and they fit.. then I was good! I had one pair of tennis shoes, one pair of sandals, and one pair of church shoes... that was it! Well...... then I got married. My dear sweet mother in law just didn't know what to do with me when she found out I hated to go shoe shopping! lol. The first 2 or 3 times we moved she would help move the stuff in the closet and she could hardly believe that I only had 3 pairs!!! She has been so patient with me. Finaly.... I admit defeat..... I now have a shoe fetish!!

I can openly admit that I now desire to have cute shoes... that match my outfit! Becky has been buying me shoes now and then (I think because she couldn't take how bare my closet was of shoes). Slowly I have come to appreciate the beauty of the shoe. Today I openly admit defeat.... I am a shoe lover! My favorite pair of sandals that I wear EVERYDAY...broke! Being me... I didn't have another pair. In desparation I went searching for a new pair of sandals. I found a pair at Walmart for 5$.... I figured "hey, cheep! These will be great". I get them home and start wearing them and realize... these don't really go with just any outfit.... in fact... they are kindof ugly!! That just wouldnt do. I tried to stop myself... I really did.... but this morning I found myself at the checkout counter of Ross with 2 more pairs of sandals!!! EEK! Yep... that is right... It took me not one.... not two... but THREE pairs of shoes to replace my fallen favorites. So you want to see my new CUTE shoes! WOO HOO! I have worn all three pairs today! LOL (now that I have cuter shoes I appreciate the comfort of my 5$ walmart buy)

from left to right- my black comfy and cute pair - my brown SUPER cute, but not so comfortable shoes- and my tan not very cute but REALLY comfy shoes! I am set! I have a 'sandal' for every occasion........ to bad it is September.....

And of course Amalyssa is thrilled with all my new shoes. She has been a shoe lover since she was 1 year old. (really... I would bribe her to be good in the store by saying we could go look at the shoes if she behaved!.... her favorite present for her 1 year b-day was a pair of shoes!) She wanted to pose with my shoes while I was taking pictures of them! HAHA..... oh it is great to be a blogger!!
