shoes
so i went the other day to buy a pair of shoes. a specific pair of shoes i had seen while in BTR with my mom. but i was unable to find them and after scouring all of the stores in pentagon city for a pair of navy flats, i was feeling very dejected. but then i went to the final shoe store and i purchased two pairs of shoes and this made me very happy. but there are funny-ish stories about both pairs of shoes.
the first is that i bought a pair of shoes identical to a pair i already own. i really liked them and i was convinced that the heel height was different or that the shoe covered more toe than the other pair or something. but when i got home, it is clear that the two shoes are indistinguishable from one another, except that one pair has been worn. but that's the thing. it's a pair that has been worn to death and i have not been able to wear them since about january b/c they need to be taken to a cobbler to be re-heeled b/c the combination of my 800 pounds and my furious walking really will beat the bejeezus out of a pair of pointy heels and now i'm walking on nails. but i haven't made it to a cobbler in months, so maybe this is the answer to that. or maybe i will get them re-heeled and then i can keep a pair at home and a pair at work and really, that is perfect. but never let it be said that i do not know what i like.
the second pair of shoes i got was this pair. but what i wanted to buy initially was this pair. after i bought them, i figured i would go scour the internet to see if i should return them and set about trying to find the initial pair. and when i found them, i laughed. b/c there is a bow on them! now, this won't make any sense to most of you. but if you look thru my shoes, particularly those that may be worn to work, you will notice a striking trend. which is that they all have bows. or nearly all. like probably 8 of 10 have bows. so the point of this is that you are someone looking to market a pair of shoes to me, put a small bow on them. and your sale will be made.
this is one of those posts that is almost so stupid it's embarassing to post. but now i've typed it. and included links. so post it i shall. keep any mocking comments to yourself please. perhaps this is a good post to mark the beginning of the new blog title--i'm not stupid, i'm just simple. very apt indeed.

I like the shoes, even if you already own shoes that are just like them. You need to branch out. Buy shoes with flamingoes on them. That's the ticket!
