Shoes Shine

Since my fall a few years ago, it has been hard to find cute shoes that will fit my foot. I had surgery on my knee, my heel, two toes and my ankle and because of the arthritis that has settled in, I have swelling all the time. I am a shoe lover and that has been hard on me. I no longer wear heels, pointy toe pumps, or even backless shoes. I love my flip flops, flats and even my Crocs because of the comfort, but I am always on the lookout for a kitten heel or a wedge that I can actually walk in. My daughters, (and now my granddaughters) are also obsessed with footwear, and I think we all have the Imelda Marcos syndrome. She had over 2700 pairs of shoes, so we have a ways to go, but the average woman has 27 pairs and I think some of us might be a little over average. I won't say who though.
How does your shoe closet measure up? No, it's not about quality, or price. It's about the cuteness quotient. You can spend a lot for your Jimmie Choos or a little for your Target brand
and if they are cute, it doesn't matter, you just need them. Oh the flowers, straps, and bows galore....be still my heart.
