Counting Sheep...I mean Shoes....

I'm back up to 119 pair of fabulous, irresistable shoes.... (I think!)....I am going to down-size soon...stay tuned!

Shoe-d for Thought

Stumbled across some great shoe quotes last month (and this one too!) thanks to the fabulous calendar I got for CHRISTMAS! So here goes... (and be prepared to have many thought provoking, awe-inspiring words of wisdom grace this blog in the future!)...

"A woman's favorite pair of shoes is not merely an accessory but actually a window into her soul." --- Meghan Cleary, The Perfect Fit (love the book - got it for my birthday too...again, check out her website - http://www.missmeghan.com/!)
Hmmmm.....What do my shoes say about my soul?...okay, my soul is fierce, sassy and ready to take on the world! Snap, snap! (I am channeling the over-the-top fashion world right now!)

"I still have my feet on the ground. I just wear better shoes." --- Oprah Winfrey ("I've still got my feet headed for welfare but my feet will look smokin' standing in line." --- Mary McClane, February 2008)

"Oh both my shoes are shiny and new, and pristine is my hat, my dress is 1922...my life is all like that." --- Dorothy Parker (The girl must've been fierce...hat and all!)

"Nothing has been invented yet that will do a better job than high heels at making a good pair of legs look great, or great ones look fabulous." --- Stuart Weitzman (Uh, what about a bad pair of legs???...Let me answer that....if nothing else, they do wonders for my psyche!)

AND FINALLY......

"If shoes don't hurt, they don't have style." --- Erma Bombeck (MY HERO!) Is she not right? Remember what Billy Crystal of "You look MAH-velous fame" used to say, "It doesn't matter how you feel just as long as you look good...." Pain comes with the territory...Stuffing my swollen feet into a pair of abnormally narrow, pointy-toed shoes always brings a slew of compliments so it is well worth it! If I go to bed with throbbing feet, life is good!

Life is short, buy the shoes!

PS - I did buy the shoes today... I tried them on and then put them on another rack...I told Casey if they were there when we headed out of the mall after additional shopping, they were meant to be...Well, obviously they were! Asked for the mate to the shoe...waited, and waited, and waited...then, I told Casey if the clerk couldn't find the mate, they weren't meant to be....Well, the clerk found the mate and SOLD, they were mine....Get this -- Steve Madden shoes...$89.99 marked down to $25.97...When rung up at the register...$20! As I said, life is not only short but it is good right now!
