Forget the little black dress...

its really all about the shoes! The shiny red shoes, that is. Upon my sister's coaxing the other day, I went shopping with her. While I had no intentions of buying anything, that notion quickly went out the window. It usually does, and thus I don't shop very often.

I bought the cutest outfit, which I wore to a party last night. The highlight of the outfit was, of course, the shiny red shoes. I have been told that there's nothing like wearing red shoes. Until last night, I did not know this first-hand. Alas, I have now experienced the "high" which they bring. If you've never tried them, I recommend purchasing a pair. They need not be expensive - mine weren't.


They say the 30's are like the 20's, the 40's are like the 30's and well forget that "little black dress" -now it's all about those sparkly red shoes!!! (The red necklace, earings and purse were great too, but let's just say I borrowed those items. It sounds better, right?) LOL

Girl, it is all about the shoes . . . and some blingy accessories! I want to see a picture, too! The pressure to post one is ON!

Yup, sign me up with the "WE NEED A PIC" group.

Good for you, Amy JEAN Kelly! There's nothing quite like having a whole outfit come together with great shoes and accessories. It's fun to feel like you're "lookin' good"!!! And sometimes ya just gotta "splurge" on yourself a little bit, too...Moms all have a hard time doing that, I think. That's why I say, here's how you've gotta look at it--when a Mom treats herself to something good, the kids are getting a gift, too. Because Happy Mom = Happy Kids :). See? I can justify ANYTHING! BWAHAHAHA!

Now, get going on those pix! HA!

Lisa said...

Ok, you hear the masses screaming at you. Even though you have painted a very vivid picture of your outting, and the apparel, WHERE IS THE PICTURE??? What are you thinking, taunting and teasing us like that, we demand proof, we want to enjoy the image....get the picture? We WANT a picture! Happy Monday!

I am a firm believer in the power of a red pair of shoes~don't know why but they just make you feel fun*!*
Get this~Stacy and Clinton said the other day that red shoes were for children and hookers....WHAT!?!?!
That's the only time I've ever disagreed with them.

Amy JEAN!!! I am so, so sorry you have the crud. And I have not been such a good blog friend/correspondent so far this week. But, tomorrow? Look out, because I plan to come slammin' back to it :). THAT should make you feel better. BWAHAHAHAHA! Seriously, Amy, hope you're much better.

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

Red shoes are just so impractical--that's the key to their wonderfulness!

I think anything red makes one feel alive. Go for it! woo hoo! Awesome shoes.

just jamie said...

I agree. I'm not a "red" girl. Never have tried red lipstick, or a red dress. But I have a pair of bitchin' red shoes and I swear they make me feel all hot and stuff. :)
