Happy Friday everyone and Happy July 1st! I find it hard to believe as the months keep rolling by. My birthday and Gibby's birthday is coming up next week, so expect a blog post on that.
Let's talk about shoes. I am happy about my shoe situation. About 8-9 years ago, it was a different story. Those of you that know about my health, know that I have a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Type III. The Hypermobility Type, where my joints move farther than the normal range of motion and I get muscular knots everywhere in my body.You can read more about it on my
About Me page if you choose. Regarding shoes, at the time, I could not wear anything with a heel, and the flats had to have support, but for the most part I had to wear sneakers. Not the cool slip on types, so trendy now,
but just your average gym sneaker.So, remembering this, and where I am now, I can say, I honestly have fun with my shoes now. Shopping for shoes, ( online) and finding styles that will fit into my wardrobe is now a joy! I wanted to share for this post, some of my shoe collection for the summer months, some trendy, some not, but rather fun staples that will carry me throughout the spring/summer months. I am able to wear a small wedge ( 1-1.5 inches) block heels ( same height) flats with support, and well-cushioned supported shoes that are fashionable. There used to be a time where "comfortable shoes" meant "ugly" or just not very stylish, but brands have come around knowing there is a market out there for beautiful, stylish and comfortable/supportive shoes.
Here are some of my summer staples:
You know the melody to Oliver's song, "Food Glorious Food " I'm anxious to try it! Now, replace with , "Shoes, glorious shoes" I'm ready to buy it! There we go!
