The Joys of Impractical Shoes

How I know he loves me

On our anniversary yesterday, Dan took me out shopping. He “owed” me some birthday presents from last month (he did not), he said and figured we might as well pick some things out together.

I guess I thrill easily, because my man’s voluntary company on a shopping excursion made me giddy.

And when I picked out these totally impractical shoes, ones I am quite sure will be the cause of my demise when I turn over my ankle in them a thousand different times a thousand different ways, and he said only, “Sure, if you like them,” I knew he loved me.

No wonder I married this man!

cu-ute!

 

For a while I became All Mama, All The Time, and wore sturdy sensible clothes and shoes.  Now I know that I am also a Woman, and my husband’s Sweetie.  I have been paying more attention to that lately, and wearing “date” shoes and clothes.  We are all happier!  smile

 

Danielle- I love your posts!  I am glad to know that I am not the only one all gooey about my husband and the silly things we do and say and think!  Those shoes are simply fabulous!

 

I’m not really a “shoe” person, but those ARE cute!  Good for you and for your husband. What you have is very special.

 

Oh I’m a sucker for impractical shoes—those are darling!  Happy ankle turning! wink

 

How blessed you are to have a mate like him. God bless you both.

 

Oh, I love the new shoes! How romantic of Dan! Thank you for the reminder…I should put on something cute and “impractical” when we go to First Friday Mass this evening, just to be attractive for my hubby! smile

 

Love them! My husband, however, has already voiced his strong dislike for wedges so I don’t think that’s what I’d come home with smile

 

oooh!  i love the 40s look.  smile

 

Where are all the black and blue squiggly lines on your ankles? My veins shout 12 pregnancies!!! Your feet look perfect in those shoes…and they do not look impractical.
Enjoy, and your kids will appreciate having a cool mom too!!! +JMJ+

 

Wow, you sound like my wife!  Just kidding, believe it or not we husbands actually probably feel just as good about buying you stuff as you feel getting it smile

 

Arwen Mosher: How “walkable” is your location? | We live in suburbia, and our neighborhood is a decent place to take walks for fun or exercise.  But whenever we have a particular destination in mind, we drive.  It just doesn’t seem like there’s much within walking distance. Then this week I came across the website Walk Score, which rates the “walkability”
