Have a long hot shower and shave those legs.
Do your hair.
Don’t forget to do your make-up.
Put on your best set of bra and panties. Your “power panties”, you know, the one’s that make you feel fabulous.
Have a little snack, shopping on an empty stomach is a very bad idea.
Now that you’re physically and mentally prepared, hit those stores!
Try on ALL the clothes you think might look decent on you.
Twist and turn, evaluting all your wobbly bits in the mirror. Feel disgusted with yourself. Sigh.
Bite your lip. Put your chin up and leave those nasty clothes right there in the change room.
Head to the shoe store.
Buy shoes. Shoes don’t judge.
Shoes always fit.
Thank God for fabulous shoes.


I love everything you said. Shoes are my favorite thing to shop for, handbags are my second favorite.
….and purses and scarves and accessories!
I love shoes also!
love this! and yes always make sure your make up and hair are on point. i cannot shop otherwise. I have tried and it is not the same. when you feel good, you feel better trying things on and picking things out. you’ll be the total package
Yes! If you feel frumpy, you buy frumpy! You have to at least give yourself a chance 🙂
Shoes never fit. 🙁 I’m a 7 3/4. Foot surgeries and childbirth left my feet unfittable. It stinks. I’d rather try on frumpy dresses under the unflattering light.
Oh that is very unfair. I hope you have a killer purse collection.
LOL!!! Love this. You’re too darn cute.
XOXO
🙂 Right back at ya!
It’s all fun and games until your feet start plotting against you. Wah! :'(
Great post! I laughed. 😀
Ahhh! For a while there I had a really bad back and could only wear what were decidedly Granny shoes. I was a very sad Mama.
My hubby just made me do the whole change room thing and I just about died. Is there a reason the mirrors and lighting are always so unflattering?
I don’t know!! And is there a reason that when you try on swim suits the change rooms are so dark? Why do I look tan in the swim suit store an then white and lumpy when I get home. It’s just …wrong. LOL
I’m not a big shoe fan, but for me it would be leave the clothes and go buy a purse!!
I may also have a small purse obsession.
Aw haha I like the witty sentiment in this post. Those heels look pretty!! 🙂
Thanks Dandy. 🙂
You wouldn’t catch me even giving those shoes a second glance, I would never be able to walk in them 🙂
Those shoes are not for distance that’s for sure! LOL
lol…..Not a big shoe fan here, I have what I need but rarely go shopping for new ones unless I have no choice. Not sure why just never been into shoes.
Maybe purses are more your thing? They always fit too! HA
right on! sadly not all shoes fit me 🙁 at least I know the accessories never let me down 😉
Scarves have quickly become one of my favourite things. I hear you 🙂
I definitely love feeling fabulous on my shopping trips. Shoes are definitely a necessity!
Thank goodness for cute shoes 🙂
Awww, this post made me laugh and sigh. My feet are so swollen right now (I’m 353475347 months pregnant) that the only shoes I have that fit are my gardening shoes, and it makes sigh. Nothing like going to church in crocs because church is more important than that pride. Lol
Oh dear now you made me laugh. I remember those days so well. Hang in there!
