omg. This reminds me of the dream I had this morning just before getting up. Seriously.

I was sitting in a store/tv show/meeting room and the shoestore guy brought a pair of sandals made of verdigris marble or something. Multi strapped up the arch with a hugely tall wedge heel. They were pretty cool, but heavy. I was wearing tennis socks (?) so the sandal looked pretty stupid on me. We were supposed to be modeling the shoes later.

Well, you could have been wearing the nylons version of the tennis sock that you use to try on shoes. That would have been MUCH worse. Then again, maybe not. LOL

Okay, for some reason, when I clicked on this tiny url site, it made the fan on my computer go crazy.



I am boring with my shoe choices. Every time I see a very busy/colorful shoe that I like, it looks too big when I put it on my 8 1/2 sized feet.

I'm really into Naturalizer shoes these days. Pretty affordable and very comfortable. I like these:

Pink is the summer color.

I have also taken to having them done in a French pedicure. It doesn't look good for as long, but I do like the way it looks for the first week or so.

I have found that I do not care for a french pedicure. It kind of creeps me out to think of longish toenails--long enough to justify the white polish at the tips.

Everyone has their own taste--I am funny about toenail polish--I agree with summer and winter colors though.

There are some really pretty shimmery corals that I like to use. Coral colors, like a shimmery light pink or pinky/orange, don't clash with many things you wear. I like the coral colors because they are flattering to my skin and can sort of give the illusion of my legs being more tan.
