The Truth is in the Shoes

A couple of days ago I went discount shopping at Value Village. I always tend to find things that I like there, like the time I found Louis Vuitton jeans for twelve dollars, but this time was a little different. I came across vintage Chanel shoes, black with a metallic detail at the toe, and they were so nice! I found these shoes, sadly, in a size six which is half a size too small for my six-and-a-half sized feet. I shoved my feet into them but they could not have been tighter, and I was devastated. The funny thing was after that I was determined to find something, I wasn't leaving until I had redeemed myself against the rare Chanel. I finally found black slingback, T-Strap pumps by Enzo Angiolini. They were a dream, they fit and the sling back didn't cut my feet, and they were so comfy. I regarded this as an overall triumph, I had been defeated by this rare find, but persevered in search of the right fit. This is my message to you, even if the Chanel shoe isn't right, the shoe that fits and feels good will be there, no matter what feet you have!
