A Pair and a Spare

Not too far below this middle-aged, round, Mom-Bod surface is a smoking hot core of divine womanly deliciousness and I’m willing to bet that your core is made of the same. The gift of aging comes with its share of wins and how should I put it, modifications.  I’m here for it all though!  So today just in time for the big day of love, I’m tapping into that core to discuss my love for all things shoes.  Especially those that sparkle. 

Now I have to disclose that Hubby buys 95% of my shoes and 100% of the fun sparkly shoes so please give him all the credit.  Every time a box enters the house I play coy and say “ George, you shouldn’t have, stop wasting money on shoes for me”. But what I’m really thinking is OMG I love them!  Don’t Stop! I will also add that most of these shoes are NOT made for walking. I repeat, NOT made for walking.  They are made for drop me at the door so I only walk to our table and will be seated for the rest of the night.  Crazy right?  You’re probably thinking why not get more practical shoes?  Well beauty isn’t practical and sometimes I want to feel down right stunningly breathtaking with my shoes I will not be walking in. You feel me?

For me as a plus size woman, shoes have always been that extra something that worked when the stores didn’t always have the right size or fit in clothes. For some reason the shoes always worked. I love how they transform your posture. Your walk turns into a strut.  You’re no longer walking like a cowboy, as my grandmother would say, you’re taking dainty steps.  I love the femininity that comes with a high heel too, especially the look of my arch. If your feet could purr, high heels would certainly do the trick.

 So to get your juices flowing and inspire the sexy in you, I am sharing with you a handful of my favorite glass slippers.  I wish I could rank according to favorite but there is no such thing.  My shoes receive equal opportunity favor in this house.  I am not necessarily a label person, I like what I like, so what you see is just my personal preference for whatever mood I may be in that day.

 Now that you’ve met the family, I hope you were entertained and inspired to bring your sexy this month even if it’s in the smallest way.

Until next time,
