Newest Purchase

So I made a purchase on Saturday which I don't think I would normally make, except they are absolutely perfect.
The ones I purchased from T.J Maxx for $39.99 look more like the ones on the bottom, but are the leather color of the ones on the top (sorry, I couldn't find a picture of them on the interweb). I usually never buy heels, and never 3" heels . But I couldn't pass these up.

4 reasons why I love love love these shoes.

1. Soft and suptle. My feet are usually prone to getting blisters when walking in any shoes other than a sneaker. I don't know if that's because they're mis-shaped or because they are so delicate (I'll stick with the latter), but it happens. The leather on these shoes is so soft I'm not sure there's any way I could get a blister.

2. Heaven in a shoes. The insole of these shoes is padded. PADDED! It's like a soft pillow for my feet.

3. Lock and Load. There's a huge thick strap locking my feet in. See the problem I always have with wearing high heels is that my foot always slips out...I always seem to just walk out of the shoes. I don't have that issue with these ones.

4. Versatile. They're a very pretty neutral color which I think I can wear with all colors.

Last night Phil and I were playing a lively game of cribbage (which we are usually doing most Sunday evenings, or any evening for that matter...huge cribbage fans) and he caught me looking over at my shoes giving them a contented sigh. Needless to say my husband thinks I am very silly. Maybe I am very silly, but its hard for a big footed, picky shoe wearer to actually find shoes that satisfy. The end.

The Contents of My purse

Because I know you all have been wondering....
  • wallet (of course)
  • checkbook
  • car keys
  • mobile phone
  • pens and mechanical pencils (i use mechanical pencils at work because they write better than the pens they give us...and they always seem to end up in my purse)
  • receipts
  • chapstick (x5)
  • gum
  • lip gloss
  • $5 worth of Dunkin Donuts bucks (have had in there for months now...not conducive to low-carb eating)
  • Pay-stub
  • bracelet Phil got me in Namibia
  • old iPod shuffle, but no headphones to listen to it...darn.
  • loose change
  • various old gift cards, some of which still have some money on them. I really should use those
Well, that's it. By evidence of my purse, I really am not an interesting person. But at least I'm prepared for a wind-chapped trip to Dunkin Donuts where a mechanical pencil is required.
This is not my purse, but wouldn't it be nice if it were?
