Yes, I'm A Clothes Horse & Shoe Fanatic... I'm Also Into Comfort

Far too often I find myself in the mood to shop these days. Today has been one of these days and I'm feeling my needs are completely satisfied now that I'm finished. For today.

I prefer to shop online these days. Zappos is the best place ever for shoes. It doesn't matter what you're looking for. If you can't find it at Zappos, then it can't be found. Okay, I did have to go to another site to get my Bernardo's, but that's to be expected. I NEVER buy HIGH heels anymore, but a little heel is always sexy and certainly more comfortable. At my age, I don't care to further damage my poor feet.

Here's what I purchased today:

Once I get tan, which I am now, I don't mind wearing sleeveless things so much. The tan tends to hide many of my flaws, thank goodness. So, I went to at least a dozen online stores before I found:

AND

I hope they all fit because I love them all already. Everything I bought will also go with several other things I already have, which I always try to do. Probably why I'm not that big on buying prints. Looking at my closet, I guess I don't like prints because almost everything is solid colors. However, that makes it easier to mix and match things and I'm a mix and match kind of gal.

The culprits that caused all my pain...

I have no idea how such a pretty little pair of shoes could have caused so much pain & misery on our recent trip, but they did, right out of the gate. I wound up wearing my cheetah patterned flats every day because they were the only ones I could actually get on my swollen stumps and they hurt the least. Which means I took 6 pairs of shoes I never put on. You can see that I added discreet little footpads, but it was a futile attempt. They killed me in different spots.

However, I was lucky that I could still wear my favorite little bronze flats too, because they were at least dressy enough for my going-out-to-dinner outfits.

I'd show you the cheetah flats, but after that trip, they're more than a bit scruffy looking.

Oh, but the day it turned cold & we went to the beach, I had to stop at a Target on the way and bought a sweatshirt, sweatpants, socks and these little casual tennies. I adore them except for the fact that they're already coming apart after 2 wears.*SIGH* So much for canvas shoes from Target. However, they were cheap & got me through.

You'd think that by my age, I could make wiser decisions about shoes, but I refuse to wear *Nun Shoes* that are ugly, yet good for my feet. Screw that. I'd rather be crippled by cute shoes. Besides, when I'm REALLY OLD & in a wheelchair, it won't matter what's on my feet. Right now, it still matters.
