ok, so I am not really a shoe person. Well, my husband thinks I am, but to the degree of some women I know, who have shoes that match outfits by color, I really am not. I have no red, green, or yellow pumps to go with some dress or skirt. I hardly have any pumps, actually, as I live more for comfort.
but everyone should have a good pair of dress shoes, I think I've been told, and since I have an occassion coming up to wear them, I've been searching high and low. I have bad feet though, which makes buying dress shoes painful, literally. My arches are high and dress shoes genereally have no support....so it's been a process.
I think I've bought about 4 pair, give or take, and have returned all of them after walking around on the carpet in my bedroom for a bit to see how they are. Or I found something really cute online, but who can really buy shoes online, so back they've gone.
But it ended recently, when I visited reliable, standby, go to when you can't find anything, anywhere else, Von Maur. They have good shoes.
I also found a pair of flip flops in the process that I bought simply because they are comfortable and have arch support. I didn't need them at all, but they're comfortable and I've worn them nearly every day since. You can see both below!!
well, we sent off Jason's brother, Brian, last night. It was really hard to say goodbye (for now), but also heartwarming to see the support for their unit. What a perfect way to see them off, through a street lined with people, holding flags, banners, and signs to wish them well. Many of the people family members and loved ones giving one more wave, and others who were just fellow Americans there to show support for the troops. And isn't that what we owe to these men, leaving behind their children, spouses, and other family members and loved ones to do a job that so few choose to do for so many?
