In all seriousness, can you tell me how many pairs of shoes you use in a regular, non-Sunday week? I'm not lying when I say that I
P.S. Yes, I realize I could buy new clogs just like these. But I just don't want to. I know if I buy them, I'll end up wearing them every day, and while that's easy, I'm not sure I want it to be part of the "new me."
P.P.S. You'd think shoe shopping should be the enjoyable part of replacing a wardrobe, but when you wear size 4 or 5 shoes, it's NOT.
P.P.P.S. (I'm on a roll.) Victory! We got Rhett to eat some dinner last night that was NOT alfredo pasta! What was this magical dinner? This totally yummy baked potato soup. I think he would have eaten more had I not put in the called-for amount of tobasco.
Did you know that I make that soup at least once a month? I love your soup recipe. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAs for shoes. If you're going to deviate from Brown and Black... man, I worry that my advice is LOTS OF SHOES. At least that's the life I know... (on the cheap, of course).
Here's the bare bones of my closet re: shoes:
Flats (like ballet flats), in two colors (one patterned or 'fancified' and the other regular wear/color). Flip flops, two pairs, one for playground/out the other a little 'dressy' or nice. Running shoes. Other pair of slimmed down athletic comfy shoes, but not bulky. Heels - at least 3 pairs, each at the varying height x 2 color minimum (grey/multicolored to go with brown or black, hot red - or some other poppin' color). Boots x 2 colors (black and brown), flat heel. But if you need/want, then add in your favorite color boot in a high heel.
The flats and flip flops usually have to be replaced each year. Because I buy cheap. Heels usually last 4+ years (depending on styles).
Then again, I'm not a fashionista, so take all this with a pellet of salt.
you know me - a couple of really great flip-flops. some "nice" flip-flops for those special occasions. ha.
ReplyDeletenice work on the potato soup - go rhett.
Flip flops by summer (Havianas are the BEST!). Uggs or similar warm cozy boots by winter. Then a few pairs of church and work out shoes is probably all you need! And maybe a pair of boots or something for the rain... =)
ReplyDeleteI also know nothing about shoes! My other sisters should be more help to you in this arena- I usually just copy what they do :)
ReplyDeleteI will say that I still have a pair of Dr. Martens that I got in the 8th grade. They still fit and I occasionally still wear them :) Glad to know I'm not the only one who has shoes for life!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE shoes, but I admit that I'll wear them OCCASIONALLY only for looks, and NOT for comfort, that being said, I have a pair of Puma's that I wear to death, day in day out, except at work and Sundays! ;) I also am a BIG fan of Privo's which I wore all over Europe last year. And finally my new faves.....TOMS, really and truly. LOVE the shoe, LOVE the look, LOVE the style, I just wish they were like $20 instead of $50. ;)
ReplyDeleteUmm and sorry about the eternal RUN ON sentence with commas. I do actually know better....I think! Don't judge, well at least not too harshly. ;)
