The shoes!

Many of you know I was excited to go shoe shopping because

#1-My feet were no longer swollen

#2-I had DSW rewards to redeem

So I scanned DSW one day last week (I had Brin & Bowen with me) and was sooo disappointed because most of their sandals were gladiator style (not good for my short legs) or flip flops - well, I can get flip flops at Old Navy for $2.

Anyway I stole a little time for myself this weekend and went back determined to find some shoes. I gave up on the cute sandals I hoped for and moved over to the dress shoes. I thought maybe something for church???

I walked over and paused in front of a pair of "pumps" then it happened...a lady about my mom's age stopped beside me spying a similar shoe.

Oh, Heck no...I'm not turning into my mother!!!

So, I headed straight for the "real" heels,

and spotted these Steve Maddens...Unlike anything I have.

Surprisingly, not uncomfortable.

Cute peep toe, so not strictly a winter shoe.

Perfect for when my husband takes me out for my birthday.

And most importantly...

when I put them on, I did not feel like a frumpy housewife.

I felt like a woman.
