| If Avril Lavigne went to OZ she'd wear these... |
I love shoes. I have way too many pairs of shoes for my own good. Expensive, bargain, old, new, traditional, eclectic, strappy, flat, heels, tennies, sandals, flip flops...well you get the idea.
We were talking this week (post shoe purchase) and he just doesn't get it. The best way I could explain it to him was like this-when your weight fluxuates or if you are like me and are more...curvaceous than the average woman it can be down right discouraging to shop for, try on, and wear clothes. It's even MORE discouraging when the same clothes look so much cuter on women with smaller, less curvy frames. Shoes on the other hand are a completely different story. Shoes fit no matter what size you are. Shoes don't make you feel like a freak show and stop fitting right because you've got water weight or extra holiday pounds. Shoes don't shrink in the wash. You can buy the same pair of shoes as that skinny bitch in the magazine and still make them look as good as she did, if not better.
Upon finishing my explanation I was hoping the light would turn on, and his look would tell me he FINALLY understood what a pick me up shoes are. Instead he just looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.

Those are WAY cute new additions. :)
Hi! I found your blog through Larissa's, and I hope you don't mind too much if I comment.
Women like to buy shoes and men apparently don't get it. It's the same way men like to buy a baseball hat for EVERY team they support, or buy EVERY new gadget that comes out. Do they really need to get the latest iPad that comes out every year? I submit not, but they love it anyway. Just like us with our shoes! Maybe my examples aren't perfect, but I hope you get the idea.
Thanks for posting! I love the new sneakers!
Of course Megan--comment away! I actually think it's quite hilarious how close we are without having actually met!!
-I went to school (and was friends with) Aaron
-I auditioned for Millie last year
-I've seen you at the Empress
-and we have loads of the same friends.
It was only a matter of time, actually. :)
I LOVE your new shoes! Where did you get them?
Love the shoes. I don't have a ton of shoes...but Russ does! How funny is that? He also collects power tools. Maybe that's a comparison that Mr. Wonderful would understand. Or Megan's gadget comment is very accurate, too.
Oh Kristen..I love the new addition! And you know I too understand this addiction. I have however had to stop my shopping on QVC, I haven't added to my Birki collection in 2 yrs! I told Paul the other day I wanted a BIG gift card for my B-Day just for shoes..yes, he too does not understand! Boys, they are just silly!
See, shoes do that for most women, and men have their gadgets and hats, but I am still looking for my pick me up. Clothes make me angry, shoes make me cry, gadgets just dont get me there, and now I'm trying to cut Food out of that position. Someone help me find my thing!!!
