Today I abandoned my trusty Birkenstocks in favor of a pair of shoes that actually have heels. I have to say, I feel kinda different! One might almost say I feel 'feminine'. Even my walk is different.
Granted, my new walk is due to pain, but it really is quite elegant! And as my mom always says: 'One has to suffer for beauty!'
And I've certainly got the suffering part covered.
What kind of shoes do you wear?
Are you going for comfort or for looks?
A prophet is despised in his own country, and moms in their own family. Now that my eldest daughter has turned not-so-sweet sixteen, she has taken it upon herself to educate me on my looks. After careful study of my dressing habits, she presented me with her conclusion, and it was nót favorable. Mom, you...
According to T.S. Elliot April is the cruellest month. But for a lot of people, January gives April a run for its money! January: bleak, grey and empty Because January is the month that has Blue Monday in it. It's also the month when Winter has only just begun, and Spring is still far away....
When I said 'I do' to my husband, I kept my maiden name. So I may have promised him my eternal love, but I only spoke for the Nicole sporting my maiden name. I don't use his surname which is van Sandwijk. Which is why I could make no such promises for Nicole van Sandwijk...
My two daughters refuse to sleep without one: a bra. I don't get it! Isn't the night a wonderful opportunity to free your girls from their tight containment? I never wear my bra during the night. I just don't like to feel confined during the night. Wearing your bra at night is good for the...
I love to ponder over yonder. Every day I ponder life and the universe for at least 45 minutes. In the mornings I ponder while I drink my cup of coffee at 10 o'clock. In the evenings I like to ponder while sipping a big mug of tea. During my pondering I listen to classical...
I was working, blogging away, minding my own business when my eldest daughter declared in triumphant tones: 'Sybil and I aren't the only ones anymore who think you look like professor Trewlawney!' 'Huh?' 'My friend Mary thinks so too!' When I got the first report, about my similarity to this Harry Potter character, I of...
while i tend to choose shoes more on the looks side, i wouldn't wear anything that is uncomfortable either...so i guess it's a combination of both. it really does make a difference in how you feel and carry yourself. i love the look of the heel 🙂
[oomph.]
You truly deserve the new footwear, mom!
Try different shoes according to your mood and role as a mom and woman. Sure it will bring confidence in you.

I definitely go for comfort! If I can be barefoot, I am. If not, it's flip flops.

Sneakers...must have sneakers! I have HORRIBLE toes, so I try to stay away from flip-flops (oh, and I don't just say "ew, my feet"...I really mean it). I get a little sad when I see all of the fun summer shoes come out. My eleven year old wears flip flops like it is her job!
What a difference wearing "lady shoes" makes, huh??
Pain is beauty. But I often opt for a wedge-like heel, it has both comfort and fashion and at the end of the day I'm not limping like a one legged pirate...
That photo of you in the two different shoes is great!!
I don't wear anything with a heel because I'm completely graceless & prone to tripping. I also love Crocs, which means I'm tasteless, too. I just have a thing for slip-on shoes. I haven't worn anything that had to be tied or buckled for the last 6-7 years.

I love to wear heels!! 3 inches or higher. I think I deserve it, after wearing mom shoes for so long 🙂
Suffer i do but I feel like a woman!!
In the summer I can be found bare foot or in flip flops. I probably have about 20 pairs. During months when starts to cool off, I switch to sheepskin lined flip flops. I finally give in and switch to Dansko clogs when the temperature is under 50.
Best,

Oh I can't wear heals. Well I could, but I'm already tall enough at 6 foot. Sooo.....I choose to wear really cute flip flops, most of my life, like every day, unless it's below 50 degrees. LOL!

I'm mostly all about comfort, but when there's an occasion that calls for heels...well I'm gonna wear some serious heels! No 1 1/2 inch for me, 4 inches or higher baby! Great blog, I'm a new follower!

Good ol' Aussie 'T-Boots' for day to day, but I once was tempted by a super bargain on some Beautifeel pumps - although I've only worn them twice!
Have a great weekend!!
I'm definitely a comfort girl, though I do have a few pretties in my stash! I'm a new follower over from Relax and Surf!
