Fashion Law:If the shoe fits, it's ugly - Unknown Author
And I can't agree more. I simply can't deny a pair of shoes, flats, Docs,boots, Nikes (Hell, I buy them even if I don't have a single article of clothes that goes with it, I'll MAKE something work). I bought 5 pairs of shoes on a 5 day trip to Vegas alone. I can't resist shoes. But then again, I can't resist a lot of things that can be worn. Like I've always said, it's not until you've shed your own blood into your shoe that it abides by you. All of the shoes that I adore now began as painful experiences but I never turn away from the pain. Instead I'll lace up that same hell-giving pair of Docs again the very next day
until they now fit comfortably. It wouldn't hurt to also add the pragmatic aspects such as their great potential as a DEFENSIVE tactics (I once slightly raised my Docs against the back of a friend's ankle and I swear their eyes teared up.) A similar experience happened today when I accidentaly kicked my inner ankle with my right oxford (How is that even possible?) and left a cut. Most of the bruises on my legs are from clothes one way or another...my most recent (and most pathetic) battle wound lies on my right shin when I ran into the side of a GIGANTIC stone bowl of pebbles in Anthropologie due to my over-excitement. Oh, did I mention face first?
If happiness is a journey, what would be a better companion than a pair of good shoes?
&&Until Next
Time.
