I'm weird with shoes. I find a pair of black boots I love, say, and I just wear them forever, until they self-destruct and I need a new pair.

Do you drink the Honest Tea/Honest Ade series, ita? I really like those for mildly sweet beverages. And they have teas and fruit drinks and stuff.

I do the same, but then I also buy them in brown and burgundy.

But but but! I need black boots with buttons, and ones with pink ribbons, and ones with glow-in-the-dark bones! Not to mention the pink boots, and the ivory and black boots with the red buttons!
(Some day the Thrift Store Gods will deliver unto me a pair of Fluevog Babycakes in the pink/cranberry colorway. I have faith.)

Clearly I have to get to TX stat! But PA will be spared.
Oh, I think megan better close her eyes tightly if/when he visits me then....
I used to love honest tea (it started in Maryland!) but don't like the current flavors as much.

I have two pair of sneakers, one pair of sandals, one pair of boots for when it's snowy/icky. I replace them when they wear out. I am missing the shoe gene. Perhaps it's like the ability to roll your tongue (which I can do).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've only tried one Honest Tea so far, and I think I like the watery Snapple better.
I have a million shoes, most of them black, many of them a) boots b) mary janes c) ballet flats.
I still need another pair of mary janes at least. But I do have the holy grail of them--I wearing a black steel toed pair right now. IN MY SIZE (the orange pair are a little big).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I want about a billion shoes. I think I have 12 wearable pairs (three pairs of sneakers, one pair of boots, two pairs of stilettos, two pairs of low-heeled pumps in black and brown, one pair of chunky black heels, and two pairs of spring/summer wedges), two pairs that need to be reheeled and resoled, and a half dozen more pairs that need to be either reheeled or thrown out; they're not really good quality enough to be worth rehabbing, but I feel bad just tossing mostly wearable and only partly broken stuff.
If we had a big huge house I'd totally have a shoe room. Or possibly a shoe annex off the vintage dress room.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

People, if it doesn't fit, has stains, or if you are not going to wear or fix it/them, get rid of it/them!
