Emily works at one of the year round schools here in West-by-God-Virginia. In general, their schedule is 9 weeks on, 3 weeks off. So, the school recently was out on break. It’s pretty nice because Emily gets 3 weeks for running around doing errands, catching up on appointments, etc. Well…it’s nice for me, but not so much for her. Anyhow, many days while she is off on break, we grab a bite to eat together. Some days she just brings a sandwich and some days we go out to eat at some fast food joint.
Last week, as her break was winding down, we decided to eat at a fast food place. Emily picked me up and we headed out. We did the usual…we ordered, ate, talked, got refills. As we finished up, Emily stood to dump her tray and noticed that she had on identical shoes in different colors. Apparently she had been doing her thing all over town with mismatched shoes!
Evidently that is looked down upon in the world of women. I never would have even noticed but I was assured that other women noticed. I only have three pairs of shoes so that sort of mistake is not ever going to happen for me. Imelda Marcos I am not. Emily isn’t a shoe person either but she does have more than I do…and sometimes accidents happen. Still, the recent gaffe makes my wife a dork…but she’s my dork!
She just started a new fashion trend. She’ll make millions.
Emily, you were out there spreading smiles!
Good work.
A big “thums up” for Emily’s fashion statment. At least they were the same style shoe.
When I read the title, I thought, “And that’s why you married her, too!”
Indeed, women look at other woman, far more than men look at women. In a different way, of course, but still true.
Ceecee – indeed it is why I married her! I think you are right too…I didn’t even notice she had on shoes but other women probably did!
Like you, I don’t have enough shoes to mismatch but I have mismatched socks before. I console myself by telling myself that I’m a married guy. Other guys wouldn’t notice and because I’m married, it is no big deal if a female notices.
As soon as I saw the photo, I just LOL!!!
She could had just claimed that it was mismatch day at school! 🙂 At least they were the same shoe!
I think she’s creating a new style. The kids wear mismatched socks, shoes can’t be far behind.
At least they were the same style!!! Emily, unfortunately there will be more moments like this in your future. Just wait, things are going to get a whole lot worse, and then your mind starts to go!!!
