My Feet Are So Happy

So I gave up. On being professional at work. Well, I gave up on dressing professionally. Really it's just my feet.

I think I mentioned a while back that I could no longer wear the black shoes I wore to work almost every day. Apparently my feet got too big and this is common in pregnancy. I have a notoriously hard time finding shoes that both fit and are comfortable. I blame it on having very long, narrow feet and very high arches. So I started looking for new black shoes and bought a pair that were supposed to be very comfortable. I hate them. I had wanted to just buy black athletic shoes but hubby discouraged that (*grumble*).

Last night I decided I couldn't take it anymore and did what I should have done in the first place and bought some black tennis shoes. My feet have been so sore when I get home, especially my toes. I could barely flex them back or curl them over without cringing. Enough was enough!

Luckily I knew just the shoes I wanted and that would fit. I first bought a pair of red ones about 3 years ago. I love them and I always get comments when I wear them. Not necessarily compliments but comments! Aren't they awesome:

They are really dirty now and I want to buy another pair! A while back I also bought a low-profile version in brown. I already wear these to work occasionally. Mostly on casual days with jeans but they've been known to slip in with brown pants or khakis:

I decided to get them in black to wear with black or gray pants. I already know they will fit and be comfortable. I wish black came in the low profile version since there is less white on the sole so they are less noticeable but oh well. I don't care! Plus other people already get away with wearing athletic shoes with dress pants. These babies should arrive soon:

The best part is that I have been coveting these black ones since i got the red ones. Yay! Good excuse, thanks baby! The best best part is they were on sale and the website has no tax or shipping! Today I already gave in and am wearing the brown ones. Oh happy feet! Now if I could just find a way to justify these pink ones...
