Well, I have decided that I am absolutely losing my mind, I am going slowly.......... crazy I am not sure whether it is age............... or senility........... or stress...............
I love shoes, I have loads of shoes, and I know I don't need them all but I just cannot walk past a beautiful pair of shoes.......... they call me.............. the higher the heel the better I like them, I hate walking on flat shoes, when I walk without shoes I walk on my tip toes, because walking flat footed is just so uncomfortable, so even though I am quite tall, I have never been uncomfortable putting on high heeled shoes, and looking at the world over the heads of my friends, it has its advantages, I see the empty tables first, I feel the rain falling first, and I can see what the hold up is at the front of a queue without having to go and ask............
Yesterday I got up and dressed for work, I love to wear skirts, and they just go great with the high heeled shoes, I put on the shoes, the same pair that I had worn to church on Sunday, and something did not feel quite right.......... remembering of course that without my glasses to see close up is an impossibility, I put on my glasses and checked out what the problem was with my shoes.................................
Well I was sure of one thing they were both black, but that was where the similarity ended, one shoe had a bow one didn't, one shoes was a heel and one was a wedge.............. one was even higher that the other.................
and then the realisation struck........... I had been to church, I had been to tea after church with all my friends, I had been to the shops for groceries................... and all of this with odd shoes............... how can I ever be let loose into the sane world again........ how can I ever go outside knowing that someone, somewhere, sometime, will be regaling the story over tea with friends, about this crazy lady, who had on odd shoes................
I once had an ex model come to one of our ladies teas " An Afternoon in Paris" and she gave us fashion hints... and one of them was that when you leave home you always need to have the WOW factor........ does this count..........
And like my "bestest" friend said, I should just tell everyone that the stange thing is........... I have another pair just like it at home..........................
That is too funny because I've done the same thing before! The shoes were the same style, but a navy and black. I had went to a minister's conference with my husband for three days and didn't notice the mistake until I was back home unpacking!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so cute! "I have another pair just like it at home." - Tee Hee Hee!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I commend you for being a girlie-girl and loving the heels...second, I commend you for being able to wear high heels. (I can't go too high...all the years of wearing sensible work shoes I guess) third...hahahahaha..sorry, this story is so funny...only because I did the same thing one Sunday. I was wearing a pair of blue heels (not as high as yours)..during the service my son leaned over and said:" Nice shoes Mom"..how thoughtful I thought he was being until I looked down and realized I was wearing one blue one, one black one...same style, just different color. Now, I always check my shoes before heading out the door!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely had the Wow factor going on for you Sunday! hehehe
ReplyDeletewe all at times do something similiar to this. my problem is with wearing the same socks and not blu and black. makes the day funny. rose
ReplyDeleteHahaha... that is so funny Karen... i have liked stilettoes but sometimes they are just not my thing. i like wedges more than heels...
ReplyDeleteOh how funny honey and so sorry this happened but I too can so relate to this. Mine were not even the same color. lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you shared this with us it will make me look twice before going out the door. lol
love ya
Maggie
Oh dear. I can totally relate.
ReplyDeleteI do like your best friend's take on the situation though!
LOL! I can't wear heels anymore. I think I overdid it in early summer and my one toe still won't let me wear them.
ReplyDeleteGreat shoes! and great idea to mix and match them!!! You are such a trend setter.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and nice to meet you.
Val
That's fine. Just do the same again next Sunday, only the other way round. That way you even things out. No sweat.
ReplyDeletejumping back thanks for your comment on my post re change. i think that to grow we have to move out of our comfort zone. take care rose
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing this summer with flip flops...different colors entirely!
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you...you probably started a new fad! You're probably all the rage! Hold your head up high and know that when all the fashionable women start wearing two different shoes, that you started that fashion! ;)
very funny but I understand. Last year ... around Christmas, I think... I went to a party and mingled and chatted and was very comfortable and had a great time. great time until I came home and started to undress and found out that I had left my breast prostheses in the bathroom....
ReplyDeleteAnother story. This past winter I was rather tired and not quite awake .I got dresses to go to the farm to feed my calves and worked for about two hours and came home for breakfast and my husband told, "you are wearing my boost, "No I'm not , Yes you are, No I'm not. I looked and there were my boots in the boot tray. How I went to work with a pair of size 12 steel toe rubber boots when I wear a size 8 wide steal toe boots. His were narrow and mine were wide. My shoes are 7 1/2 and wide . I can't explain why it never occurred that I was wearing his boots. I'm only 5 foot 2 inches. Go figure... JB
