Finally…

It’s now been well over three weeks that I’ve been wearing sandals every day…and I love it!   No complaints whatsoever from Wifey!  (Though she still mostly wears closed shoes.) 

She “suggested” (you know what a suggestion means…) that “you make room for sandals in your closet.  Store all your closed shoes in the basement, and bring up all your sandals since you’re wearing them now.”  I suggested leaving a pair of ballet flats upstairs in case I should have to dress in something more formal than capris or leggings.  “No worries – your dressy sandals will look fine.  And you have plenty of sandals to wear with your different outfits.”

So that sort of answers the question I’ve been asking myself…”which shoes will I wear with my suit?”  The answer is “not shoes – sandals.”   Looks like I’ll need to get all 20 nails done more often, so they always look pretty. No more stretching it those couple extra weeks!

Latebreaking update: my new sandals have finally arrived! Here are some pictures…

The good news is – they fit. We both think they look nice with my black house dress.  (I’m suspecting this will become one of my solo travel outfits!)  Because they’re a thong sandal with backstrap, they won’t slip off.  But with their hard sole and insole, they’re noisy to walk in.  That’s improving the more often that I wear them.

Since I’m keeping these, I’ll wear them a few hours a day for the first few weeks, so the skin between my toes becomes accustomed to the posts.  After they adjust, I’ll do some “closet surfing” to model them with different outfits for Wifey, so she can decide whether any additional colors would be in order…she might surprise me with that. Time will tell.

Stay tuned…
