Isn’t it funny how shoes speak to women? We have our different "shoe” personalities that show the world about who we are. I am a garden clog girl when walking my dogs, digging around in the garden or working on a messy project. Comfort is everything and I don’t care what they look like when I am “doing chores”. These are all just utilitarian shoes, please don’t judge me in these moments! The only athletic shoe I own is a mule style sneaker. I have tried to wear an athletic shoe, but no can do. Flipflops are my back up at all times – sometimes it is hard to make a decision, they are the default shoe.
In the real world I prefer a pair of Old Gringo cowboy boots – mules, to be exact. They are easy on & easy off - my favorite with boot cut jeans. Skinny jeans call for high Born sandals or maybe a Sperry boot or deck shoe. Ooh, a knee high boot is pretty sweet too. Any one outfit can take on a whole new vibe with a different shoe. Then, don’t we all have outfits that we always wear a certain pair of shoes to create the “look”!
Looking in my closet I realize my feet reflect the true multiple personalities that lend support to my wardrobe. I know so many people who are locked into a specific look and you know exactly what they will look like when they walk through the door. It’s good to be true to yourself no matter how you dress. I hope the shoes I possess continue to compliment the fashion styles I reflect. I would like to think I can keep shifting my style here and there – complimenting the old me in a new way. My shoes are along for the ride. I don’t buy shoes frequently, but I buy what I love.
As for the shoe shopping issue? Here are a few links to help you expand your mental shoe collection. Maybe you will see some from your closet or from the back of the closet you forgot you had. Some old shoes & boots are new again and some should remain in the back of the closet!
