Forgive me for a moment while I gripe about a total first world problem. That problem being finding great pumps in any size under six. Do you know how many times I have found the most perfect shoe on the planet, and look at that it’s on sale as well(!) only to find that the smallest size it comes in is a six. Now if you know me, or even if you don’t, you’ve probably gathered that I looove wearing heels. It’s one of those stupid, makes no sense, kind of self indulgences, because being a mom makes wearing heels all the time quite frankly ridiculous, and it complicates a lot of situations where a pair of sneaker
s would make my life like a whole lot easier. But, I digress. The point is, I love wearing heels and also, finding just the right ones in my size is like nearly impossible. Now, sometimes you can fudge on sizing in flats. I can get away with a six occasionally, if it’s a small narrow size six (especially since I have wide feet-it’s true I do. Bonafide Flinestone feet.) But, you can’t fake a size in heels! The half dozen times I’ve gone ahead and bought a pair of pumps in even a half size too big thinking I’ll just “make it work,” it hasn’t ended well. In other words, the shoes have ended up in my sister’s closet. (I’m still mourning those houndstooth stilettos, Meghan. I hope you are giving them the love they deserve. ;-)
Where am I going with this… we may never find out… Haha. But seriously. Mint. That’s where I’m going. So I really love the color mint. Aqua, mint… whatever you want to call it. It’s my jam. Especially to wear. I’ve been needing (i.e. wanting) a pair of mint heels to fill that space in my shoe rack for months and months and just–nothing. Every good lead turned out to be a dead end size six. Until(!) Until I got some sense into my head and checked Amazon for a pair of mint pumps. Why, oh why didn’t I think of that sooner? But seriously, Cori. Why? Craig and I order everything off Amazon, and hello prime! I’m such a shipping snob now. “What?! It’s not going to be on my doorstep in two days with free shipping?”
Anyways, I found this pair from Joe’s Jeans on my beloved Amazon, and I promised to love and cherish them if they would please take residence in my closet. They in turn agreed to make all my mint/aqua pump dreams come true. It’s a healthy relationship. We’re quite happy with each other.
XOX
and
Happy Monday!
