ORDERED A PAIR OF SHOES TODAY...

... From Clarks! I think this is the first time since I was a child that I have bought ( well I haven't actually bought then yet, just asked the shop to get the, in in my size, so I might try them on and hate them) a pair of shoes from such a sensible shop. And therein lies the problem. I hated my sensible shoes as a child. The sullen, sulks I had when we had to go shoe shopping are talked about to this day by my mother. I just wanted something pretty, but never, ever got them. They were always black (never patent) or brown and had sensible round toes and straps with buckles or, even worse, they were lace ups. They were either Clarks or Startrite, and I loathed them with all my heart. I know that most women have a bit of a thing about shoes, but I'm convinced that my thing is in part sticking two fingers up to my Mum because now I can by whatever sort of shoes I want. However ridiculous! Sadly though, today I decided that I needed a funky pair of wedges that were still comfortable and I found that the choice was somewhat limited. So Clarks... It's been a long time!
