Three for one..

As any true shoe fanatic will confess... the right pair of shoes is essential! And each pair has its exact purpose.

Many people (shamefully) think a black boot is a black boot is a black boot.
But those with shoe savvy know each pair has a distinctive calling.
You can't wear the same boots with a skirt and with jeans, or slacks etc.... that might explain why I have 9 pairs of black boots. Which is a whole other story. But really all of this is to help illustrate a point.

Last blog, I shared the sad tale of losing one shoe in Vegas (see previous blog). This pair of shoes was integral to many outfits and its loss was not only sad but left a hole in my shoe wardrobe.
I tried; oh I tried to replace the shoe. I felt like a dejected prince charming left holding only one shoe.
In the quest to fill the gap, I acquired three replacements.
All fabulous in their own right. Maybe more so than the lost shoe.
But as corny as it sounds none alone could fulfill the role of the other shoe.
So I had to keep all three. Darn!
Please meet the definitely not ugly sisters who replaced Cinderella.
