[info] Let’s face it.  Last time I went to a black tie event, I wore my formal dress with my mismatched Converse shoes.  I really can’t remember the last time I wore these.  I don’t do well playing dress up.

So I decided to get a pair of glitter TOMS in black.  I thought that would take care of my formal needs, as well as keeping my son from wearing them.  He loves my gray TOMS.  So I bought them over 24 hours ago and I can’t bring myself to take them out of the box and wear them.  I don’t think I can justify these.  I don’t typically like bling.  Wait, let me rephrase that.  I don’t do bling in the shiny object sense of the word.  I’m “colorful”.  Anyway, after careful deliberation, I decided I will take these back to the store and get the regular black TOMS.  Those I can wear with anything and I can add my own artwork to them.

Bye, bye high heels…
