It's funny how some women dress so properly, but act out their rebellion through their shoes. I've noticed that A LOT lately. Many women I know dress very demurely and very modestly...but you look down at their shoes, and there is a sexy biznatch just waiting to come out! I don't consider that a bad thing! I think shoes are a way to express yourself without having to worry about the following:
1.) Your weight.
2.) Your hair.
3.) Whether or not your clothes are proper or modest or serious or professional enough.
4.) What anybody might say. (They're on your feet, chances are most people --except awesome chicks like me--won't even notice.)
5.) Whether they go with your outfit. (I mean, sure, you don't want to pair a set of dominatrix boots with a Pooh Bear sweatshirt, which is a fashion travesty in and of itself...but who cares if your dress is green and your shoes are bright yellow! Shoes are an accessory. That provides a lot of leeway.)
Ok, so before I provide you with a parade of shoes, in honor of my love of footwear, I have to have a moment of silence for my own shoe collection. Ever since I met, fell in love with, and married the nerd of my dreams, I have been a ballet flat mama. Yes, it's true. I am tall, and he is short. It makes me feel awkward. He would love it if I towered over him in heels and would probably think I was sexier than ever. But me? Not so much. Who wants to be fatter and taller than her hubby? I don't.
Think you can talk some sense into me about that? Go for it...I miss heels, and would love to bring them back into the fold.
Ok, so in honor of the KICK AZZ shoes I saw today, I've decided to have a parade of shoes. Please scroll through and enjoy. Maybe shed a tear or two. Blow kisses....whatever. Gah, I love shoes. I hope you do, too. And if you have an ode to shoes you'd like to share with me...bring it. I am all for extending the parade of shoes.

| I'm sorry, but who doesn't love a leopard print pump? Only for hookers? Whatever...only for moms with a wild side underneath their understated frocks! |
 |
| My mother told me once that every woman deserves a pair of red shoes and a red purse. I agree. |
 |
| I love, love, love my silver ballet flats. Wear them with a dress, or dress up a pair of jeans. Viola! |
 |
| If you don't like these heels, you're a moron. Plain and simple. |
 |
| GAH!! I love a nice gladiator sandal! Equal parts cute and dominatrix-ish. Perfect. |
 |
| These boots make my eyes fill with tears...simply because they're THAT awesome. |
 |
| Have I ever mentioned my zebra print fetish? Yup. Purse, wallet, blackberry cover....now I need shoes. |
 |
| I love orange. I wear it as often as possible. These are the perfect shoes right here. Simple, but bold. |
 |
| Every woman should have a pair of knee high black leather boots. Period. |
 |
| A girl at church was wearing some shoes just like this today. I literally stopped what I was doing, gasped, pointed down at her feet and yelled, "BLACK PATEN LEATHER PEEP TOED PLATFORM PUMPS!!!!" |
 |
| Loves me some cork wedges. Perfect for summer beach parties or lawn parties and BBQ's. Your heels don't sink! Hooray! |
Alright. Enough from me for now. What is your favorite shoe?
