Love Over Shoes

 Thoughtful Thursday :)

I once fell in love over a pair of shoes...found a soul mate, in fact. You could accuse me of having a foot fetish because he did have lovely feet. I could wax poetic about his high insteps and charming toes but I will spare you those details. Besides, I don't think I actually have a foot fetish...

I happened to be working the afternoon he came into the shoe store to find some quality shoes he could wear to wait tables. He explained that his feet were wide and that sometimes made it difficult to find shoes that fit well. I measured his feet and headed back to the stock room hoping he wouldn't notice how flushed with color I became when I looked in his eyes. In all honesty, I wanted to help his feet first and foremost but, I will admit the connection I felt with him was immediate and true.

Of course, I fit him with a pair of excellent work shoes that treated his feet beautifully. He purchased the shoes and left the store. As he walked away he repeatedly looked back over his shoulder to catch my eye. We would certainly meet again. Time passed and much of that time was spent together learning, loving and always wearing superb shoes. I will always look over my shoulder with love, fondness and gratitude of having shared a life with him and those perfect feet of his.

Thoughtful Thursday ;) 

Silly Erma!

I say you only look as good as you feel. If your toes are pinched your face will be too, not flattering.

On the whole, style has gotten more comfortable and comfort has become stylish.

There is always a way to have both so long as you stay true to your own soles and personal style.

Sandal Footnote

Thoughtful Thursdays...

Sandals were the first crafted footwear. They went out of fashion for over a 1,000 years and made a comeback during the roaring twenties. Hurray for summertime, sandals and the next 1,000 years!

Every Color, Twice in Red!

Thoughtful Thursday :)

When the shoe fits...Buy it in every color...and twice in red (or whatever color happens to be your favorite).

I find red is every bit as versatile as black but tons more fun! Designer Chistian Louboutin paints the soles of all his shoes bright red—regardless of their color.

A red pair of shoes is what sparked my own personal love affair with shoes as I confessed in my about me shoe-story.

Just two nights ago a new friend of mine quipped that every woman should own a pair of shoes in red...I couldn't agree more though five pairs would be even better...hmmm....I just realized that I don't know how many pairs of my shoes are red. I will have to count and get back to you on that one.

Love and Red Shoes, Dagmar

Aphrodite...

Thoughtful Thursday ;)

Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love is often depicted in the nude except for sandals on her feet...

So go ahead and buy those shoes you think you have nothing to wear with!  

Birthday Suits go with all your shoes!
