Just one pair of shoes.

If, like me, you get one new pair of shoes this summer when really you need four different pairs of shoes, then you're going to need a pair of shoes that can do everything. They must not cost a fortune (duh!), they must endure long walks from the very last parking space on the parking lot which is where my dearly beloved insists on parking, they must make those slightly thicker winter legs look long and slender and they must be comfortable enough to wear while doing glamerous things like mopping up cat pee, physically breaking up a fist fight between brothers and bolting down the street to catch the run away dog. I hereby introduce to you....dum dada dum.....the shoes.

Okay, so I'm not sold on the bow, in fact I might just cut that sucker off, but I am sold on the price. These are $20 shoes from Nordstroms Rack. Are they gold? Are they silver? They're sort of both. They're metalic which means that they go with everything. Not too much heal that you get shin splints on your walk to work, not too little that your hems drag on the ground, not too much clunk that you look like a spaceman, not too dainty that you look like you're trying too hard either. They don't look like much but I will be wearing these all summer long. Oh and if you see them on-line, buy a half size bigger since they run a little small. And by small, I mean narrow.
