Finally...at long last.......SHOES....!!!
Picture this:
I have a party to go to this Saturday. I have ONE outfit that will be appropriate…thank God...so I guess I’m set with that. But the only pair of shoes I own are a pair of mules and they are highly inappropriate for the cold weather…and they are certainly not dressy.
I’m sorta limited in where I can shop for shoes. I can’t exactly go into stores because they don’t typically carry wide widths. My enormous feet are very wide at the toes…which…well…limits me.
So…I have been shopping for shoes at zappos.com. They have lots of styles and they have FREE RETURNS. I've purchsed and returned so many shoes I can’t count them.
This week I stepped it up…determined to get a pair for the party on Saturday. Lots of people from the theatre world will be there and meet me as Daya for the first time and I want to feel good about my presentation.
So I ordered and sent back shoes all week. I ordered 2 styles at a time…and since most of them came overnight I was able to try a lot of shoes.
And FINALLY…
I found a pair of basic black dress shoes that don’t make my feet look enormous and are also comfortable.
I’m thrilled…and SO relieved…
So now I have TWO pairs of shoes. Not enough, but a good start.

first rule of womanhood....you can never have too many shoes.
i love those! also try a nice wedge or low heel boot for winter. get trouser socks to wear with those, thin but comfortable.
Ok Daya... you don't know me, but as one of the fortunate actors that Michael O'Dell has chosen to perform in the reading of "The Souls OF Her Shoes" next week, this blog could not have been more appropriate! Cheers,
Kris Doubles...PS your web site rocks!
