I LOVE clothes. I hate shopping. I never feel like I have the time or money to spend on it. I don't like the way anything looks on me. Therefore, I put it off until it's really, really overwhelming. So this weekend, that was the one task I had to complete... go shopping and get myself some things to wear before someone mistakes me for a hobo. No offense to the hobos, becuase I'm looking pretty bad lately. Walking through Kohl's today, I had this feeling like... this is what it must feel like to be on crack. To be ADHD and on crack. It's like ohmygoshthosearenicetowelsandlookatthe
shoesandI'moutofbrasandIneednewshirtsandtherearesomepantsahhhhhhhhhhh..... I don't know where to start. So I just want to go home and put my jammies back on. Luckily I did OK today, got some stuff, but shoes have been my nemesis lately. I've shopped everywhere for a pair of good shoes that I can wear with my skirts, with slacks, with jeans... I love heels, and I kept wistfully checking them out, but I just can't do heels. I have terrible feet and they always hurt, so I need good shoes. I tried on all the Naturalizer and comfy shoes, and they all just looked so clunky and gross on me. I tried on a pair of super cute white Pumas. I looked like grandma going to Bingo in her new white Keds. Finally I had one of those moments in Famous Footwear where you are so tired of shopping endlessly for shoes (seriously, I started this quest for comfy shoes like last school year) and just madly grabbed 3 pairs and bought them. Oh well. It is done. On my way to check out at both Target and Kohl's, though, I saw the swimsuits... a whole 'nother challenge. Not even going to think about that one today.

sounds like my day yesterday. ems decided she would like to wear something other than BYU tshirts. Lovely-YAY for us... I shopped and shopped with her... I am TOTALLY looking for shoes... have been forever- my problem is, finding a size that fits me... I have HUGE feet so I find a pair I like, then they will never have it in my size. And of course shoes that are made for my size are usually clunky looking.. just what I need! I am going to start looking online... oh and I never where heels.. I am already too tall, I think they would look nice but well, I couldn't ever where them around Curt! :)
I HATE shopping. No money. Nothing fits. Makes me tired and grouchy. Pete doesn't know how good he has it, having a wife that doesn't like to shop! I look like a hobo as well, though. I'm going to have to break down and get some stuff pretty soon here.
You crack me up! I have had the same shoe dilema. I HATE shopping for shoes. I don't know why it is so hard. Maybe because I like the look for the teens, but I'm too old to wear those, I like heals, but my feet don't like them.
I did find some Mia brand shoes at kohl's that I love. They are flats and they can be worn with dress pants or Levi's and they are really comfortable!
Good luck! Hopefully the shoes you ended up with are great!
You have got to try Dansko shoes. They are so worth the money if you have foot pain issues. I have only gotten the clog, dutch type of style but they have cute ones too that I plan to get when I have an income.
