This year is huge for me in so many ways. This year, I have finally accepted that I will live and die wearing flat shoes. And whenever the boyfriend asks me if I really need more flat shoes, I will just answer him with “But I will live and die wearing flat shoes!” Makes for some compelling domestic conversation, doesn’t it?
As you can see, I prefer flat shoes for reasons other than my inability to walk in heels. Flat shoes are just darn easier to store! This, of course, will work only if you have size 6 shoes or smaller. Another bonus is that these gray drawers are ALWAYS on sale at this local hardware store. In fact, I will be buying another set very soon because these babies arrived in the mail last Thursday:
custom made brogues in pale pink and gray
Courtesy of Pax of Archive Clothing. They are oh-so-lovely and fit just right!
PS. The title is bull-doody, of course.
PPS. While I was writing this post, my boyfriend was re-reading theories on existentialism and scientific determinism. Was I bothered by this cerebral imbalance? Him reading philosophy for pleasure while I ramble on about material possessions? Heck no. I know enough about existentialism to know that I will find my essence in SHOES!
PPPS. I am giving this pair of maroon dotted flat shoes to the first size 7 commenter who is 1) from the Philippines, and 2) leaves her shipping address with her comment. These have never been worn (because I’m a 6). I got them from eBay. Shipping is on me! These babies are goin’ home to Charm!

i have no choice but wear flat shoes too…. my dude is shorter than me… hehe :-)
Nov 24, 2010 @ 02:11:32
haha i’m the same way – i definitely prefer flats over heels (even though i’m a shorty). my fiancee loves it when i wear heels so it’s a treat to him on the rare occasion that i do… rare, rare occasion. :P at least we’ll still have nice feet when we get older!!! haha
Nov 29, 2010 @ 01:51:34
Haha so true!

I just got into heels, but still think of them as fancy shoes, not for walking. I have a really difficult time organizing my shoes, flat or not. Boots are the hardest.
Nov 29, 2010 @ 01:52:10
True. I have a special cabinet for my boots. :D
Nov 24, 2010 @ 05:04:43
Oh, I’m not the only one who doesn’t “do” heels. Not purely out of choice, I simply cannot walk in them and they just kill my feet… Anyway, you have a great collection ;-) Have a lovely week, Love from London xo
Nov 29, 2010 @ 01:52:26
Ditto.

waaahhh..too bad I read this blog too late..would have saved you the shipping cost ‘coz I live in cebu..hehe.

Hmp. I’m not a 7 but those shoes are so pretty they make me want to wish I had smaller feet. I’m a 10 by the way.
Nov 29, 2010 @ 01:52:45
Really? I’d never have guessed!
Nov 24, 2010 @ 12:19:46
Aww man, I am size 7 and I live in the Philippines x_x
Nov 25, 2010 @ 01:03:26
I also choose flats over heels in fear that I might injure my feet. I’ll pick running over fashion any day of the week. Hehehe. =D Those flats are really cute. The winner is lucky lucky.
Nov 29, 2010 @ 01:53:01
Haha so YOU. :)
Nov 25, 2010 @ 06:55:33
I also have the same love for flats… but my shoe size is too big so my shoes won’t fit in those drawers you mentioned. Hahaha! I have to have a customized shoe cabinet.
I love your commentary about the difference between you and your BF… that’s what makes the world fun right?
