HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO THE MOST AMAZING MOM IN THE WORLD....JUDY DAVIS!!!
Okay, okay, enough with the "mushiness"...let's get down to business. These shoes are RIDICULOUS. And NOT in a Fabulous way. They are ridiculous in a "Wow, you're wearing a pair of shoes dripping with the "Guess" logo" way. I am a firm believer in the concept that I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for a purse, shirt, shoes (you get the point) that has the brand all over it (ie Coach, Louis Vuitton, GUESS...etc) They should be PAYING ME to wear their stuff. I am not free advertising here people. Am I right?
Therefore, these shoes are ridiculous. My sister reminded me when I bought them---and it is Textbook Me. I bought them, like I buy much of my wardrobe, based off of a feeling. I had this idea that I needed to buy "cool teacher clothes, shoes, accessories" right before I started student teaching. Hence, these sensible (and ridiculous) Guess flat tennis shoes. They are just HIDEOUS. And furthermore, they do not fit. They are about one whole size too big (I bought them in my pre-Weight Watcher days and my feet shrunk about one size when I lost weight), so they continuously slip off of my heel and rub the back of my foot in a totally uncomfortable way. WOW! I sound like such a complainer. But, if I have discovered anything from this 51 Day Shoe Challenge, it's that if I want to downsize my shoe "situation", then I need to more selective when it comes to choosing my shoes. And, I need to aggressively purge my closet of at least a few pairs of my shoes.
So, if memory serves me correct, I am now up to 3 pairs of shoes that I will get rid of at the end of this. It is also funny to think about why I bought these shoes and how my clothing decisions as I have become a more "seasoned" teacher have changed throughout the years. I have come to realize that I do not need to dress "like a teacher", but just as a more polished/conservative version of myself. Does that make sense? If I can't wear all of the stuff that I buy in all aspects of my life, then why am I buying it all?
Something to consider. I really need to stop shopping. The only problem is---gosh....it's just so fun. I love clothes. And duh, I love shoes even more. It's a sickness. Like flat shoes. Only not as serious.
