For one of the bright spots this weekend, and no on a normal day I do not have a Shoe fetish.
But one of my proudest moments as a 16 year old was the time I could by my first 9 hole Doc Marten boots. I still have them, not that they fit me anymore since my feet have change in the last 20 years.
So I dragged the boys shopping yesterday over to Ross since they now get winter jackets for boys in and I refuse to spend a lot of money on a jacket Kiran will outgrow in a blink. Yes I got him a nice warm one for 21 bucks. Maybe I should not say I dragged the boys, I wanted to go alone but all of them wanted to come along.
So I managed to run over to the shoe department to look really quick. Once in a blue moon you can find a real steal at Ross. All the way at the end I see the back of some very clunky Mary Janes. I love clunky-not so girly shoes. Oh look my size, I try them on and they fit and for once do not pinch my feet. Yes I refuse to buy anything that hurts even if it is the best looking shoe in the world. I was floored they turned out to be Doc Martens and were on the shelf for 15 bucks! The big reason I have not owned my favorite shoe brand in years is because most of them come with a 100 bucks pricetag attached to them.
So here are my new pride and joy and the reason for this very silly Girl Moment post. Yes I know most of you will not even think they are pretty shoes, but if you know this brand you know you walk on air even if they are heavy and I tell you they hold up for years. As Mike put it last night, darn woman you can kick the &&%^% out of somebody with those!
