One morning, John went outside to retrieve something from my car. He came back in and said, "What happened to your car?" Panicked, I ran outside. Some bastard had side swiped my car - and didn't leave a note. The paint was scrapped off the entire passenger side of my car. I was pissed. For some reason, I was convinced that one of our neighbors had damaged my car. Angry and ready to fight someone, I began walking up and down the streets, looking for another car with damage.
Unfortunately, I didn't find the bastard who hit my car. I began walking home, when I realized that I had stepped in dog shit. At this point, I was ready to kill someone. When I got home, I took my cute powder blue sneakers off, and I threw them in the trash. I should have cleaned them off, but I was so upset that I was doing irrational things.
Over the next two years, I never replaced my sneakers. I have no idea why I didn't buy new shoes, but I didn't.
Today I went shopping for new sneakers and somehow, I found the coolest shoes in the whole world...

I LOVE them.
Famous Footwear was having a buy one, get one 1/2 off sale, so Porgie got new shoes too...

Both very cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat shoes do you normally wear if you never wear sneakers?
I love sandles and flip-flops, which I try to wear even when its WAY TOO cold outside (I wore sandles to the store this morning and its like 40 degrees outside). In the winter I wore some ugly brown leather shoes, like these...

Good shoes! I like that they slip on.
ReplyDeleteThese days I am wearing these blue/white striped flats I got in Sweden or some black Mary Jane flats I got at this strange place called, no kidding, Wu-Mart. I love the Wu-Mart!
Rocketdogs are the official shoe of all adolescent girls in my neck of the woods. EVERY SINGLE female student I had last year owned a pair, some solid, some plaid, but all Rocketdog. I thought about buying a pair, but I thought I might look like I was trying to be the "cool teacher". Now that I'm not teaching, I should give it another try.
ReplyDeleteWow what cute shoes!! K would love those!! BOO TO POOP ON THE SHOES!!
ReplyDeletei so would have thrown away the shoes too. your new ones are super cute
ReplyDeleteYour shoes are cute. But Porgie's, wow, I love those shoes! You have way better stores than we do for finding things, we don't even have Old Navy (hence, I had to buy winter coats on line).
ReplyDeleteOMG I just wrote "hence" in a comment.
