231 Days ’til 40: It’s ALL About the Shoes

Any girl that’s got a $500,000 table and $5 shoes, I’m in love with. ~ James Brolin

Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out. ~ Iris Murdoch

Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes? ~ George Gobel

I always wear flat shoes, because I can’t walk in anything else. ~ Sadie Frost

I definitely spend the most money on shoes, partly because vintage footwear can be a little funky – in a bad way. I like to keep things pretty simple up top and then go weird with the shoes. ~ Chloe Sevigny

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty. ~ Imelda Marcos

Today I went to a 4th of July party.  It was a snazzy event and many people were in dapper black suits and elegant evening wear.  I too went in a nice gown, which my partner picked out for me about a month ago.  As for my shoes, yes, they are pictured above.  Those docs are what I wore to the snazzy 4th of July party – full of important people in big black suits… and I LOVED it!  I can understand Sadie Frost, I just cannot wear heels, I may have looked more elegant in heels, but I am certain I would NOT look elegant stumbling over myself and falling into a punch bowl – not going to happen in my sturdy Docs!

I have been wearing Docs to parties for years now – and I have never embarrassed myself by tripping or falling in a pair.  They also come in handy when you are on the dance floor and a person nearby has two left feet!  Furthermore, they are a great weapon if you need to protect your spouse or partner from an attack.  Yes, I LOVE my Docs and I believe they can accentuate any fancy outfit (I even have a red velvet pair!)  Heaven knows, they cost more than many pairs of heels, so they should be acknowledged for the greatness they posses.

Today, 231 days ’til 40, I am thankful for my Docs and I DO NOT CARE who stares at them or me!
