Shoe Heaven

I saved the best for first today. These are my Pikolinos shoes which called to me in a mall store in Framingham, the best shopping mecca I have ever seen in my life. Perhaps it was the fact that it was the first week of August and absolutely everything was drastically reduced but Donna and I literally couldn't help ourselves, the deals were so great. And the quality and selection were unbelievable. Anyway these Pikolinos were the most expensive pair I bought but they are worth every penny with their intricate cut design and supple leather. Oh, and they feel like a dream on. It's all about comfort, you know?

Next are my Skechers which came with a second pair of laces for parties, I guess. They have orange sparkly bits in them.

These red heels are absolutely gorgeous leather and feel wonderful on, but the funky blue wedges were my biggest surprise. I always like colour so went to these immediatelyjust to see what they felt like on. Well they felt wonderful! I am definitely sprucing up my shoe wardrobe with these babies.

This black pair have the pointy toes and are not quite as comfortable as every other pair I bought but they are very cool with their tiny heels and white stitching. The woven red ones can be worn summer or winter, which I like. And, of course, the colour makes my heart sing.

I bought some dancing shoes--the black sling backs--and yet another pair of dark reds. These are patent, flat and open-toed but just as cute as can be. They will look awesome with my black or grey slacks. The lovely soft leather of the black laceups complements the sleek lines. I look forward to wearing these casually.

These two pairs might not look exciting but they are great. I have been loving the brown leather sandals, so soft and smooth on my feet, and the stretchy quality of the black straps makes for a smart yet comfortable pair of sandals which I can wear well into the fall. They will be great for concerts with my choir.

So there you have them--my eleven pair of shoes. I am still dumbfounded that I bought so many as I am definitely NOT a shopper. I guess I'll just blame it on my wonderful sister-in-law, Donna, who most decidedly IS a shopper. Now if I could just get her to pay for all of these.........
