My Story Through Shoes - Part 3

Yes, I'm still on a roll - It's getting a little tough, though. I have run out of black shoes that can be worn to work so now I will start being really creative with outfits.

Day 23:

I've owned these since college and have loved them every time I have worn them. Every time I put them on I fear that the elastic on the buckle is going to break because I've worn them so much. I remember wearing these to classes, work, on a date, dancing, and so many other things.

Day 22:

This is the first time I wore these ones. Black flats (please note the red ones previously worn are in fact the same shoe in a different color) that I adore. I was hoping to wear these with a different outfit but needed black shoes for a workday - dang business casual on a random Monday.

Day 21:

Yet another pair of Reefs! I bought these without a second thought. Saw them on the rack, found my size, and grabbed. I didn't even look at the price. I love, love, love these! The color makes me feel so Summery! I definitely walked away after purchasing these realizing that I buy my shoes very spontaneously. Doing so brings me joy.

Day 20:

These are my feel-good, partial-earthy, brown and fun flip-flops. I bought these to match a dress for a wedding. If you notice there is a small khaki paint spot on the wooden ring on the right shoe. Yep, I got a discount for noticing that paint spot even though they were already on the clearance rack! I can find a discount a mile away.

Day 19:

Well, I guess these are just simple black wedges. I love the pink flowers on the soul of the shoe. Also the first time I have worn these but I can already tell I will love them. No real memories here, but I'm sure there are many to come.

Shoes explain so much about me. My mood each day comes straight through my shoes. Some people express themselves in their clothes. Me, shoes!
