I heart shoes!

I know I have written here about my love affair with shoes ... Last night I was actually describing my shoe collection to some new friends with a little twinkle in my eye. Heck, I love my shoes so much that I keep many of them with me at all times. (Driving damages the heel, and I forgotten the necessary shoe for an outfit behind too many times, so they live in my trunk.)

Some days, I plan outfits around my shoes and I think they maybe the most important part of an interview outfit. They can boost your confidence -- there is just something about they way one stands on a few inches of heel, not to mention how good it makes your calves look! But I'm equal opportunity ... I get just as excited about a cute pair of flip flops as I so sexy heels.

Well, if you can believe it, I have never been to DSW -- one might describe it as my mecca. Truth be told, I was afraid of the damage I would do to my credit card and that I would never leave. So I didn't go ... until Saturday.

I am all about trying new things these day, so this weekend, I let my friend Maegan take me. Now, Maeg and I are a good shopping team, but she's usually the one buying things, so this was a bit of a role reversal.

First stop, clearance -- because the only thing better than new shoes is new shoes bought at a great price. I was looking for some cute black sling backs and anything else interesting. I actually managed to leave the store with just two pairs -- some black sling backs and this adorable pair of grey and black argyle peep toes.

Well, I didn't get my fill, so when I had some time to kill Sunday, I went back. ... An addict is born, I guess it was only a matter of time ;) This time I looked at new sneakers, but managed to walk away empty handed -- which isn't say I didn't find something I like, I just resisted them.
