sensible shoes

I remember saying to my mother, at the wise onld age of 16, that I would never sacrifice style for comfort.  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Today I went shoe shopping for some brown shoes for fall, and I bought a pair. Were they cute, strappy, high heeled pumps? No! Are they snappy little dressy flats? No! They are good, sturdy brown walking shoes. Very comfortable, very plain, very boring.... Ah well, I did at least buy some fun multicolor socks. Of course, no one will see the socks under the shoes and long pants but at least I'll know I have something cute and jazzy going on. Stylish? No. Conforable, oh yes. How my mother would laugh.
