How To Shop For Summer Shoes

First, I checked all the upstairs and downstairs closets for a pair of summer, dressy sandals, one that I could wear to weddings and garden parties,  something with heels but not too high... but nothing like my usual Birkenstocks either.  As expected I found nothing to wear. The husband sighs and mutters what else is new.

Then I called the Tea Ladies and say that it is time to go shopping.  R and H instantly say, "Let's go."  They always do.

After 6 hours of non-stop shopping, with a short lunch in between, I came home with all kinds of shoes, EIGHT pairs, of them... in all colors... but not one single pair of the off-white heeled sandals, that I really, really needed and went looking for. 

But look at what my Tea Ladies talked me into buying.  It's all their fault, you know...

I wore these Lite Strides yesterday while I went to get tomato plants at the nursery, they really went  quite well with my matching green sweater and jeans.

These red Studio Works slides were so comfortable, I had to have them!

I needed another red pair of shoes, right? These Lite Strides fit the bill!

I don't know why I bought these 9.2.5 pair... I don't buy these styles, but R & H do.

I used to wear these type of shoes, I confess, but that was ages ago, that was when Chanel was part of my style/ look.  It's kind of dated now and too uncomfortable for me.  It makes me think of polka dots and big hats at the horse races.  But... I bought them anyway just in case we had to go to the horse races someday?

I don't buy blue shoes either... Blue Hawaiianas... "They're Italian Duckie, get them!"  Guess who's a push-over?

These are more my speed...  black Lite Strides.  It would go with a lot of nice things in my closet.  Even to funerals and wakes.

AND these RED Mootsies Tootsies... What was I thinking???

No wonder my closets are full and I have nothing to wear.
