Oh My God Shoes

In many ways I am not what you would consider a girly girl. But in so many more ways, I am. Today I went shoe shopping with my sister so she could get a pair of silver heels for our other sister's wedding. Silver shoes are surprisingly difficult to find. Actually, let me revise that: cheap silver shoes are hard to find. We were able to track down some in the clearance section at DSW. This is where I fell in love for a second time. The first time being with my boyfriend (love you babe). But today it was with a pair of floral heels, perfect in every way.

The fabulous floral heels.

I got the wonderful rush of bliss that only comes from love. They even matched my nail polish. The best part of all: they fit me. This may seem like a strange thing to go goo-goo over, but I have an extremely difficult time find shoes that fit me. Most of the shoes I currently own are from the children's section at my favorite shoe store, Shoe Carnival. I am a size 4 in most shoes, but sometimes I can make a 5 work. However, finding a pair of really nice heels in a size 5 that are super comfy, super cute, AND fit is not a regular happening in my world of tiny feet. But that is exactly what happened today.

I did not buy the shoes (broke college student, remember). I will go back for them eventually I'm sure. And if they are still there and still on sale, well that just shows that it is meant to be. If not it won't be the end of the world. In some ways it is not just the shoes I love (even though they are flippin precious), but also the feeling I got from wearing them. They gave me an overwhelming sense of hope for my future in shoe shopping. Ever since the store I buy my jeans at closed down, I have been pretty upset about my bad luck with shopping. So finding these shoes today and getting all excited and worked up over them may seem pretty silly. But it was one of those things that makes you smile and somehow shows you that everything works out in the end. When you can find something in a normal day that makes it super special, it makes your life a tad bit brighter.

Plus, the shoes were really cute.
