Gratitude Day 131 - SHOES

Dear Friends,
According to fashion experts, our "shoes" say a lot about us! 
So today, let your shoes do the gossipping!

Considering the fact that a great number of people in the world are still barefoot, shoes have certainly managed to secure a special place for themselves in our obsessions, expressions, fairy tales and stories.

Today's shoes are more like artwork - I can't even imagine standing in most of them, never mind walking in them! 

I wonder which designer the old woman who lived in a shoe would have picked?
From H.C. Andersen's girl with the vain soul to Louboutin's red sole - shoes have certainly travelled a long way!  

Since I don't have the budget, the lifestyle or the knees to enjoy footwear at 700 dollars a pair, I simply remain grateful for being able to walk - fast! If my shoes could talk, they would probably scream, "Woman, haven't you heard of  slowing down?!"
Have an exquisite day everyone!
