In her Shoes.

Every now and then you meet a remarkable pair of shoes.
Seriously, you do.
And without sounding superficial or flaky (which woman seem to do sadly when speaking of shoes) it really sometimes is love at first slip on the foot.
A quickening of the pulse, an intake of breath so sharp and without warning it can leave even the most avid shoe-a-holic breathless and faint.
I am one of those girls. Who have a love affair with the art that is a beautiful shoe..
It all started about three months ago.
I met a pair of 'Dorothy sparkling pumps' The Maria Callas of foot aparatus in the Witchery section of Stuttafords.
As in most great love stories, it was a rocky beginning.
The price for love seemed awfully high, higher than i was prepared to pay... Surely love shouldn't cost a thing? 'Na- ah', said this shopping mall holding out its grubby hand for blood love money.
Defeated by lack of funds and filled with a sense of loss, i walked out glancing back, eyes brimming with tears, feet dragging behind me.
But sometimes, in the quiet of the night, id think of the Dorothy shoes. Where were they now, were they out there, somewhere, with the wrong size 5 feet?being walked on, and trodden on?
The thought made my toes curl in remorse.
Time passed, and my sole began to heel.
I consoled myself by bringing home many cheap shoes...Most turned out to be a short standing affair, the pinch that comes with cheap love is not something i recommend for the faint hearted.
Today, the love story took a turn.
All it took was a four letter to word...and all those old leathery feelings came rushing back.
50%Sale. There it was, printed on shiny red paper like Christmas, all red and lovely.
I walked in a daze to the shoe section, willing to see a speck of sparkle under the neon lights.
And suddenly! there....they.... were...
More beautiful, more glorious, more bow-ey, more sparkly, more delicious than i could have ever dreamed...
I hugged that box to my chest, it felt so right this time, like this time we really could make it...walk together in perfect sync, style and panache.
So tonight dear reader, im happy to say, We walked together, foot in foot for the first time.
We dined and wined and movie'd ourselves into a state of absolute bliss...
Thank you Winter Sale,for bringing us together.
