ok...week 7 of the deck of me challenge on emily's blog.....everyone has a shoe story to tell......
ooohhh! i've got a bunch.....i remember when i was in high school & i had black penny loafers but i stuck quarters in them (total rebel...i know...), i remember digging those quarters out so i could make a phone call to my mom & dad to tell them i was running late...LIKE ALWAYS....
i remember finding a pair of black doc martens with tiny purple doodling on them in a hole in the wall shoe store in the village & they were $17...i bought them and wore them all the time, even though they were 1/2 size too small....
i remember finding my brown boots in a store in berkley for $10...i still wear those boots & get compliments all the time @ them...they also are 1/2 size too small & it is 11 years later & i am still wearing them!!
i remember buying my first pair of high heal black boots over on fulton street in brooklyn...the zippers fell down constantly when i walked, but i loved them anyway...don't know what happened to them...
yeah...i used to be quite the shoe girl.....but now is a totally different story....
i wear flip flops during the spring, summer & fall....ALL THE TIME....
which brings me to my story.....last august i went out for dinner & drinks with a bunch of girlfriends. my friends all show up dressed to the nines...looking gorgeous....i show up in jeans, a tank top and my nice pair of flip flops (they have turquoise beads on them...really pretty)....basically...the gigi uniform....my bud, annette, takes one look at me & starts laughing "no one told me we were going casual! who said we were doing casual!!!???"....& i said to her "but these are my dressy flip-flops!!"....they, of course, had a nice laugh on my behalf....
***ETA*** the picture on my card is from a j.crew catalog...i don't have those flip flops...but they would be cool....maybe i'll look into them....you know...broaden my wardrobe...LOL!!
happy thursday everyone....gi
