The Proof is in the Stilettos

by Nicole on October 26, 2011

So this weekend, my husband finally got tired of my shoes taking over the floor in our closet….

So, my grand plan worked to get an official shoe space in my closet. **places Dr. Evil pinky up to mouth**

So, I thought it was a great time to share proof that I do in fact own stilettos as stated in my tagline…

Stiletto wearing, cabernet sipping, Mama to three girls….yadda, yadda…

Being authentic is key, no?

I  will also say that I usually spend my days like this….

Flats, flip-flops (now boots) and my hair pulled back in a pony tail with one of those stretchy bands…..who has time to gussy up everyday with three girls – two of which are entering the two’s…the TERRIBLY DRAMATIC NEEDY twos..

{Ahem}

I still had to share my love of beautiful shoes. These shoes caused me to have Carrie from Sex and the City “Helllllooooo Lover!” moments…

And every time I enter my closet now, I have a sense of peace. I know it sounds weird, but to have an organized space that is so pretty?

But I digress…

Each of these shoes has been worn at least once….date night, special events like BlogHer and Navy Balls.

I love them.

I am a pretty-shoe enthusiast….there are few things that make me feel like I’m more than just “Mom” than hot shoes.

But, today…at this moment, I’m wearing Yoga pants, bare feet and my hair pulled back a la stretchy band with one of those claw clip things….

Just keepin’ it real.

BUT

Friday night happens to be date night (the first in a while) so one pair of these is going on the feet.

Just sayin’

Do shoes take you to your happy place? What do you do to make yourself feel like more than just “Mom”? Do you own as many Yoga pants as I do? (because I wear them nearly everyday….)

You have a ton of gorgeous shoes! But I’m sure you already know that. I love shoes, but I don’t really do heels. Not comfortably anyway. I can’t walk in them. Kitten heels are as far as I can go, sadly.

Kitten heels are great! If you get a platform on the bottom of a higher heel, they’re a lot more comfortable though! Not like 70′s style platform….just a little extra in the ball of the foot helps off set the heel height.

I would love to still be able to wear heels, but I just can’t do it anymore.

I have to have a cocktail or three to make it through the night with heels on. :-)

I love your shoe collection. Shoes make me happy, but I don’t have nearly as many.

But no yoga pants. Just for jammies. I look like a wreck in them; I am short, and they pool around my feet :(

Shoes make me happy too. This collection took me a while. A little splurge here and there, diapers for twins takes up the bulk of the budget. ;-)

Girl, you have some hot damn fabulous shoes! If I had some of those shoes I would wear them while sitting on the couch in my jammies.

Haha! Yeah….not really conducive to chasing the toddler twins out of the trash can, litter box and kitchen cabinets. I can’t wait for them to get a bit older!

You wouldn’t happen to be an 8.5 would you?

I was always a shoe minimalist, but now that I have kids, I’ve found that a sexy pair is really, really helpful to pull me out of Mom Funk.

And dresses. I love any excuse to put on a dress, whether more casual sun dress or a sexy black number.

I need a date night! And now after looking at your sweet shoes, I need some new footwear, too! :)

It really makes all the difference when I put on some fun shoes! I used to be very simple and I have definitely evolved my style. :-)

I actually have those shoes. Which ones you ask? The pink flats, but mine are black. I own one pair of Stilettos. Just looking at them makes my feet hurt.
