After dancing professionally on my poor feet for 25 years I’ve got some serious foot issues. My feet have been beat up, stressed out, abused and tortured. Though I love fashion shoes, what I wear the most is clogs…. Yep you read it right, old fashioned, Clarks clogs from 1999. I keep getting them re-soled and re-polished. And yet I still get sore feet after too much shopping.

I’ve tried a ton of those walking shoes and most are super UGLY old lady shoes! But today, on a shopping errand for my little Diva, I popped into a shoe store and discovered Dr Scholls “Dance” clog things. They’re plastic (I hate plastic shoes) and are soo ugly that they’re really cool. But once you put them on your feet, it’s over, I mean over! Your feet are in foot heaven. They’re light weight, so no stress on your knees or ankles, they’re cushioned to the max and roll beautifully making walking a breeze.

I tried them on with carpenter pants on, so I know they work with wider trousers. Don’t think they’d work with skinny jeans and wearing them with dresses might be pushing it, but after you try them you may not care about looks. The soles on these suckers says it all, “ Feel crazy good”

Priced from $39-$46, I found some for $27 at Dr Scholls website. Wish they came in leather or canvas.

Whoa, did I make a killing at the LF Warehouse Sale!

I decided to attend the friends and family sale. I didn’t really need anything but I had gotten all of my holiday shopping done, except for one person. I just thought I should go and help my buddy in crime Loreli.

I held it together, not picking up anything until I got to back of the warehouse where the sweaters were. Cashmere hoodies were only $10! I got 7 … yes seven of those cashmere sweaters, 5 for me and 2 as gifts.
Then I found tees for $6… I got 3. Then I went into the boutique room and picked up a fabulous cape for mom in law at $25 and another embellished sweater for moi.

I was looking around for Loreli to re-group, I spotted some silk baseball jackets at $8 and an army styled jacket at $12 that was just my color. Loreli also found a toggle cardigan for $10 which is I snapped up.

I also grabbed some earrings but after looking at my haul with buyer’s remorse, I left them at the register. 2 hours and the total damages came to $171. Total savings $1400! That’s why I adore this sale.
