bugger!

I was shopping in one of those huge warehouse stores earlier today when I felt a tug on my shoe. I thought I'd stepped in something sticky (and I might have). But as I kept walking something just didn't feel right. I'd managed to break my shoe. Of course, I was at the back of the store when it happened. It wasn't a huge deal. The strap that went behind my heel had broken. But it was still a bit uncomfortable to walk around like that. Especially when the strap kept getting under my foot as I hobbled to the front to pay. I think my jeans were long enough that no one else noticed.


So, of course, my next stop was to pick up a cute pair of sandals that I'd noticed the day before but had talked myself out of buying. 'Cause I needed replacement shoes, of course! It was a sign. I'm sure of it!

Is this cute shoe the one that broke or the new one? Bummer if it is the one that broke, because it is cute. But I always love an excuse to buy a new pair of shoes.

It's the one that broke. :(
If you look closely you can see the strap is no longer attached in the back

Yep. I thought it looked like it was broken. Bummer. Those are cute shoes. Pics of the new ones?

:( What a cute shoe! Hope the new ones are equally as lovely. :)

Cute shoes too! Ah well, new sandals are always nice. And you have to love the fact that the weather is nice enough to wear sandals year round. :)
