Cloud covers the hunt

One of my last post talked about my back problems getting in the way of going out. As of now I'm healing, but I don't want to strain myself. My back is no joke and suffering for fashion will be thrown in the closet until I've healed. So what do I do with a closet filled up in back breaking footwear? I go buy flats or will that is.

Why I haven't I done this so far? I'm roughly a size 12W or 13 in ladies shoes. I'm thankful Payless recognizes this size, but I'm always pissed that most of the shoe industry doesn't. Anygoo. My selection at home has never seen anything below a 2 inch heel. I feel my shoe size is a big strike against me. The higher the heel the better the illusion your foot size decreases. Since my back is falling apart I might as well rock boats and slip on some flats.

So I'm heading home today and the shopping center before my house has Payless that carries up to size 13. Not every store does that. I justify my shopping trip because it's cloudy/drizzling. Most people I think prefer not to shop in weather like this, but it seems they do...today...at 4pm I normally don't have a problem shopping. I'm typically fearless, but the winds were not blowing in my favor. A dirty contractor looking guy in the parking lot was facing the store and I know I stick out like sore thumb because it's brighter inside than the overcast weather outside. That made me uncomfortable big time. He left a minute or two later. What got me to give up was an elderly lady shopping in the same aisle. I also really didn't take to anything there today but I'll try again before Saturday before I go out.
