Problem

I have a problem....a very serious problem. It's not something that you would notice or know about unless you really know me....unless you've spent time with me. It's not something that is physically visible on my body in that it is not an appendage. You probably wouldn't know this about me unless you have seen my personal living space. I try to keep it confined to the four small walls of my closet but usually it tends to seep out into my day to day life and general living space.

Okay...are you ready? This is a big step for me. I am admitting I have a problem.

Are you sitting down? Okay. . . . . . .here goes... I have a serious.....shoe problem.

whew, I said it!

I love shoes. It doesn't matter if they are pumps, sandals, flats, espadrilles, peep-toe, strappy, sling-backs, boots, slippers, flip flops, patent leather, suede, cotton, velvet, leather, canvas, furry....I don't care. I love them all. If we could just all wear sweat pants/yoga pants/comfy pants and a white t-shirt with fabulous shoes and great bags, I would be perfectly satisfied. A good pair of shoes will make the outfit. It can take you from cute to sexy. Trendy to classic. Sloppy to presentable.

If you're having a bad day, a cute pair of shoes can turn that frown upside down! Every woman needs to own at least one pair of red shoes. I have three. Heals, ballet flats and espadrille sandals. Every woman should also own at least one pair of boots. I also have two. Tall boots (up to the knee) and short boots (up to my ankle).

The song, "New Shoes" says it all....

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And i'm running late,
And i dont need an excuse,
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.

I.LOVE.SHOES!!!!
