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.

That is one way I am above average! I think my love of shoes comes from only getting two or maybe three pairs of shoes a year as a kid. We always got new school shoes, Easter shoes and new tennis shoes in the summer. It's kind of embarassing how many pairs I have now, but it's my goal to live where I can wear flip flops year round.

I am waaaaaay above average, and I am not so embarassed to say that my daughters probably have about 15 pairs each! Have we ruined them?

Don't even ask me how many pairs I own! It is a woman's right to own as many pairs of shoes as she can. Shoes and chocolate are the way to a woman's heart! Now if they just had shoes made out of chocolate.....
