Day 15---Black Heels with a Gray Bow

These shoes totally remind me of a VERY distinct time in my life...this time of my life I speak of is called the "My friends and I discovered the Aldo Shoe and Accessory Outlet in Huntington Park" Era. We went through a period of time in college where we went EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND to HP to buy copius amounts of shoes and gigantic purses from the Aldo outlet. This was also known as the period of time in which I had an unreasonable amount of HUGE purses (purchased from the outlet). It was basically ridiculous. The spoils of this Battle (Ali vs. Aldo) were spectacular, however the only ones that remain are these GORGEOUS heels....

I mean, LOOK AT THEM! They are phenomenal! So adorable with their cute little bow. So comfortable (really, I swear!). So indicative of a time in my life when all I thought about was figuring out how to get my next "Aldo Fix"! I can still picture my friends and I gathering at one of our houses and making the Journey waaaaaaaay down Florence Avenue all the way to HP, just to score a sweet deal on a pair of shoes and an enormous matching bag. Ahhhh, it WAS the life. And it was also probably the beginning of this ridiculous shoe obsession that I have!

I must also mention that as I was walking down the hall today at school, a young gentleman---who is not even my student mind you---told me "Wow Miss! I really like those shoes!" Ahhhh The Youth. I appreciate any appreciation of my Footwear....even if it is from a random kid in the halls!

Additionally, I have to give credit where credit is due: A HUGE THANK YOU to Dr. Jo for being the person who first wore the silver shoes (from yesterday's post) when she was a bridesmaid, showed them to me, and helped me to orchestrate The Great Shoe Plan which enabled me to wear them in not one but two weddings! You're the best, Joanne Azer! Love you more than I love shoes!

That's a whole lotta love!
