Have you ever worn the wrong shoes? There's a few items in my wardrobe that seem directly connected to the epicenter of my mood and shoes are absolutely one of those items. Wear the wrong shoes, the entire day is ruined. Now, the real key to happiness is finding cute shoes that are also comfortable. You 20-somethings who are thinking fashion, that is not what this old lady is talking about. I'm not talking about a pair of heels that take off ten pounds - I'm talking about something I can wear to an office, chasing a child, carrying 8 bags of groceries, and something that will hold up under the pressures of motherhood.
My aunt Dorothe could wear heels and push a baby stroller wearing a freshly ironed dress and look amazing! I however, am from a different generation. We have things like dry shampoo, tide pens, and running shoes. I get cranky if my shoes are too narrow or my hair tie is too tight and the women of previous generations wore corsets - we are not the same.
If you're here because you think I have the key to shoes, you will be sadly mistaken - I have a lot of shoes, however I have not found the key. Rather, I'm here to see what you all know. I love Brooks shoes for the gym, Ugg clogs for wearing with leggings, Birkenstock sandals for the summer, and I honestly haven't found something that I love love love for dress shoes. I will throw on pretty sandals in the summer and they don't seem to suck - but in the winter I just find myself dressing casually because I don't want to smash my feet into uncomfortable footwear. Do you wear tall boots and if you do, do you wear them inside or outside of your pants? Wedges?
I mean - we live where the air hurts my face - is it even possible to look cute and be comfortable? What's the best option? I know...just stay home until summer, but that doesn't seem realistic either.
HELP!!!!
