I have always had large feet. Well, large and wide feet. They have been a size 11 since I was around 12 years old. But then I had babies, and my arch fell a bit and that has plummeted me into the abyss of size 12 shoes. And, I kid you not, I have totally looked into buying shoes intended for drag-queens. But the google search and ensuing websites led into a carnival of Drag Queen websites with images which are still burned into my psyche. I'm just sayin'...these sites generally sell more than just shoes. So I gave up on that one.
But, I stumbled on to two perfectly adorable pairs of shoes right before the CHA. Sure, they were both kind of tight, but we all suffer for fashion right? And it worked. For the first time in my entire life, someone looked down at my feet and said, "Cute shoes!" And the Editor of Scrapbooks Etc. even took a photo of them while we were crushed together in the Press Area, awaiting the arrival of Paris Hilton.
In tribute, I made this layout last night. And I totally love it. Check out the new Dymo Caption Maker which prints lowercase AND script fonts.

I think that is why I have a deep love affair with purses! I never have to wonder if they will fit. :) Great shoes & layout!
Cute shoes!!
adorable layout for such adorable shoes!!!!
OMG! You are so funny!!!
My girls have small feet, well, by today's standards. They are size 7,8, and 8. They have many friends though with size 10 nd 11 feet, it is pretty common these days with young girls. I love the shoes you chose no matter what size. Glad you had fun with them.
P.S. Nordstrom carries shoes under 5 and over 10.
Love the post!
Just found your site from Pencil Lines. Love your funky style and your kids are just too darn cute! And I could listen to your blog all day... and have been at work today :) Ever since moving out to the middle of nowhere it's hard to find music that isn't mainstream.
I have big feet too (though not quite as big as yours, which makes me feel better! hahaha) My mom used to tell me that Jackie Onassis wore a 10, to make me feel better.
The shoes are adorable, and so it the page!
