Black lace

It was a strange day today a lot of quirky shoe related things occurred throughout the day. I had a bunch of medical things to do in the morning, with blood and x ray things to follow in the afternoon. I knew the day was shot for work so I figured I could get some Erin time in between. Even in boy mode I felt a little more daring and wore a pair of black clogs I had recently purchased. They are fairly plain and most people would not really notice, but I still felt nice waring them. This is where the first quirky thing happened. As I was sitting in the waiting room, a girl in here twenties sat down across from me wearing the same shoe. After a minute she commented to me how she had just gotten hers, and the questions followed how did I like them? did I get them at DSW? Do I like all crown vintage shoes? Did I look at the brown? It was surreal as we carried on a conversation about our matching shoes. I was nervous, but she did not seem to mind and no one was listening. After my appointment I changed into my outfit to shop. I had picked up a pair of wrap around lace sandals and wanted to wear them. I knew form the reviews they were not the most comfortable, but they are cute. I stopped into Macys and on thing I found out is either the soles or the way I had them tied made them pretty loud for a flat sandal, so I kept drawing some looks, also I was having a bad hair day and it kept flying in my face. I wanted to try a few things a little different, but honestly most of what I found did not fit right or worse? Made me look pregnant? I headed to Dillard’s and they were having a sale on more formal dresses. I tried on way too many, the sales lady asked if I was finding anything, I said no…she said I was putting up a good fight don’t give up. That caused me to smile. I had an interesting interaction with a group of girls in the waiting, display area outside the dressing rooms. I was coming out to see how the purple flutter sleeve dress looked in the better light and 3-way mirror, when a girl and two friends came out and she just started to vamp in front of the mirrors next to me, I was a little nervous, and I did not want to snap a picture like I normally do. Her friends asked what size her dress was and it was the same size as mine, then she asked if I knew if there was another one like I was wearing in her size, and I said this was it, would you like to try it? I should have asked her to take a picture of me out there, but I was sort of caught up in the moment. So, I changed brought her the dress and ended up trying the black one she had on. Fabulously feminine experience. I really liked the dress, but I did not really have anywhere to wear it and, it looked good on her. Next stop Nordstrom Rack with the goal of trying on heels I could never really walk in, but always wanted to see myself in. It was a blast, one pair from a brand called Abound, had little round straps that wrapped around my foot with no buckles, easy to put on but had to be over 5 inch because just standing was causing my calves to hurt. A lady walking by said” doesn’t look like you will be going very far in those…. Boy was she right. After my Erin time was done and I had cleaned up, I threw a pair of fairly plain Steve Madden single strap sandals on to go get xrays. Uneventful until the end, when my X-ray tech Natalie, told me she loved Steve Maddens shoes. So she was letting me know she noticed. A good day, a lot of interaction, and apparently shoes are as important to other women as they are to me….
