I think I've lost my favorite pair of shoes.
There. I've said it. Blogged it even. I'm pretty sure that makes it real.
For the last couple of weeks, I've been in denial. Those are the ones you see pictured at right. Yes. I loved them so much, I even took a picture of them once to feature them in another post. I have worn them to death. So much so, in fact, that this past summer I even took them to favorite shoe guy to put a new sole and new heels on them. They were sexy but comfy, and I received compliments on them nearly every time I wore them.
I am tall, and finding "good" shoes, ones that look nice with a dressier outfit without making me super tall, can be very hard. Plus, I really don't like stalking around in stilts. These shoes were so wearable. Yet they had the look of something a little dressier and sexier.
I think I may have left them at the Westin at BlogHer. Can you believe it? I blogged about what an idiot packer I am. After leaving San Francisco and the conference, I headed up to Napa to spend some time with my folks. I didn't even fully unpack up there, so I really don't think I could have lost them there (at my parents' house). I'm thinking some housekeeping chick from the Westin with size 10 hooves is digging her sexy new shoes.
So, yesterday, when I went out shopping for a salad bowl for my sister, I wound up buying not one, not two, but three new replacement pairs. Hey, a girl's gotta' have some fun, right?! I am in mourning, after all...they were my favorite shoes of all time.
Dig 'em! The pair that looks similar to my old ones? Same brand! Bandolino.
Only this time, I got all three pairs for a little more than I spent on the first pair last time! HA! Ya' gotta' love TJ Maxx. Hit that store on the right day, and it's a gold mine. Wrong day, and it's a total bust! No salad bowl for my poor sister, but I'm sure digging my new shoes! They're not doing me much good stuck here on the elevator in my office building, but that's a story I'll be posting on our White Trash Mom site. You'll have to hop over there for that one!
