 christmas shopping for myself

shoes_tutors.jpg

well, i went back and exchanged the taupe clarks for the coveted proxy tutors. these are a little big, but with the "toe tap" cushions under the balls of my feet it isn't so bad. the folks at the wide shoe warehouse said they'd call the manufacturer to see if they could track down the smaller size, but to not get my hopes up because these shoes are hard to find.

still, even though the tutors are just a tad too big i love them WAY more than those clarks.

so, yay!

after that i ran a bazillion errands, both starting and finishing my christmas shopping. i do have one little secret-santa gift to pick up for a co-worker, but since it has to be under $5 it barely counts. i'm making most of my gifts again this year (tightwad) so a lot of today's shopping was for supplies. but still, it's great to be done.

so, to reward myself i went clothes-shopping. my system thus far seems to be: try on a size smaller than i think i wear, and if it fits buy it. so i bought these jeans after doing a dance of joy in the dressing room.

I LOVE THOSE FREAKING SHOES.
I may have to buy a pair. I don't know what I would wear them with......something sassy no doubt.
And ROCK on with the jeans. We are melting away together.....alas you will disapper first.
I am happy to report that my brand new size 20 jeans are TOO BIG one week later......yippee!

Hey, didn't I see that dance on the internet somewhere? :-)

Congrats on the finds and on the fits.
