Note to my readers: This post has absolutely nothing to do with healthy eating or dangerous chemicals.  Just a little summer fun…

In between my two episodes of imbalance, I went shoe shopping.

I know what you’re thinking…but wait.  You’ll either totally love this or think I have completely flipped my lid.   If you don’t already.  Anyhoo…

I managed to escape to DSW one day, armed with my sling (no pun intended) and my Mothers’ Day giftcard.  The whole trip took me two and a half hours.  ‘Cause that’s how I shop with only one free arm.  I managed to find a rockin’ pair of desperately needed black heels, and some adorable strappy sandals, both at full price.  I hate paying full price for anything, but these were totally worth it.

Also totally worth it was the clearance section.  It was in the clearance aisle that I found them: the most unreasonable, memorable, outfit-specific, deadly shoes I have ever entertained the notion of buying.

“Deadly” because, as of late, I haven’t been the most balanced chick.  When Victoria saw them come out of the bag, her eyes grew oh-so-wide and she exclaimed, “MAMA!!!!! Are you SURRRRRE you can wear those?”

I confessed that I wasn’t entirely sure.

But they were on CLEEEEEEEARANCE!!!

Completely taken with my uncharacteristically bold purchase, Vic has been seen clomping through the kitchen in these shoes more than once.  I dunno…maybe I allow that because somewhere in the back of my mind there exists the remote possibility that this may be the only way they will ever get worn.

So…whatcha think?  Do I dare???

(Update since the writing of this post:  I decided to wear them today.  It’s lunchtime and I am so far surviving.  But, just to be on the safe side, say a prayer that I don’t break my leg!  Thanks!!!)
