Shoesday #1 - Every Shoe Has a Story

It wasn't until last semester when someone asked me about my shoe collection that I realized I had a lot of shoes. I mean ALOT! Now when I talk about my collection of shoes, I am talking about everything....flip-flops, tennis shoes, bedroom slippers. After going through my collection, it made me look back on the times when I bought a particular pair and reminisce about the times when I wore them. So, my goal is to write about a few of my shoes each Tuesday. This idea was thought about back in February or March, but I am just now getting around to working on it. I won't talk about all my shoes because some of them are just not that interesting.

 Shoes #1

These have become an essential for me. Black flats. I had a pair for at least five years and it was time to throw them out and get a new pair. Black is one of my favorite colors to wear. It is so simple, yet classy. However, they do not have good tread on the bottom, which is a warning sign for lots of slipping! I was in the cafeteria and was completely unaware of the food I was about to step in. I almost wipped out completely, but was able to catch myself and part of the salad (half of it ended up on the floor). Thankful it was early in the afternoon and there were not a lot of people in the cafeteria. I just got up a laughed it off. I mean, that's all I could really do. :)

Shoes #2

I purchased these shoes in late September, and I pretty much lived in them from late October until February. This winter seemed to be much colder than the previous year, so these shoes kept my feet extra warm. In early February, we had snow in Charleston. The first time in awhile. I decided to wear these because they kept my feet warm all winter so of course they would keep my feet warm in the snow. However, I ignored the fact that these shoes were NOT made out of material that didn't soak up water. But the snow. The snow was so much fun. I am not a big fan of cold weather and snow, but because it doesn't snow very often in Charleston, I had to enjoy it while I could. It was fun to be out with other college students enjoying the same thing I did...acting like a kid by making snowmen and throwing snowballs. The adventure lasted for about thirty minutes when I realized my feet were completely soaked. The snow melted a few hours later.  That same night, I found myself standing outside at two in the morning because someone had pulled the fire alarm. That night was quite the adventure.

There will be more to come so check back every Tuesday. Have a great day!!

And in the words of Forrest Gump, "My momma always said you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes, where the go, where they've been." :)
