Well, I had an interesting experience on Saturday. I was at CC Salon & Spa where I get my nails done by Chelsea Stash. I decided to head across the street to Crocker Park and visit the MAC store for a new lipstick or lipglass. After purchasing Lychee Luxe (the name of the color I chose) I left to go home. As I walked down the street toward my car I noticed DSW across the street. I decided to check it out. I usually HATE to shop because I have trouble finding clothes and accessories that fit me. I am a full figured woman and the world does not cater to us very much. Unfortunately, I have always been a little bigger than most -- even when I was skinny. I have broad shoulders, an hourglass figure and wide feet with a high arch. This means most jackets don't fit my shoulders, my jeans gap in the back if they fit everywhere else and my shoes are either too tight or too lose. Did I mentioned I have large calves? This means I can't wear most boots. If I wear a shoe-boot, it must have a zipper on the side or my high arch would allow the fit. But this day I thought, "I have heard so many people talk about DSW and I am feeling good!" so I walked right in.
I found 4 pairs of shoes that I love. Unfortunately, the ones I most lusted after turned out to be too small. Did I let this stop me? No! They were in the clearance section and the proper size was not available. I was going to look like a million bucks so I worn them outside, effectively rendering them unable to be returned. Now that I have worn them twice, I have decided to retire them. They are too gorgeous to get rid of, so I think I will make them bookshelf ornaments. I did that with a patent leather pump when I lost one shoe. It looks cute sitting on my shelf holding my cat's catnip. Now it will have cousins.
