Retail Carnage

I always have mixed feelings whenever Muffin goes away. I mean, it's nice to sleep in and all that - but I miss my little sidekick. Not only does she make my heart swell with her adorable cuteness - but she keeps me out of trouble. Seriously. Have you ever tried to go shopping for clothes/shoes/home-improvement items/anything except toys with a preschooler? My checkbook starts to quiver when Muffin goes out of town because it knows. It knows that a major hurting is about to be flung upon it.

Take yesterday: I drove all over creation and spent money in a gucci-hippy grocery store because I was bored! Today, I chose to have a two margarita lunch with girl friends and then go shoe shopping. It was retail carnage. Here's a snapshot of my spoils:



What? You want me to model the shoes? Ok! (blush) But only because you asked! I simply request that you excuse the pink carpet. As usual.



These are the adorable summer pumps that I intend to wear with flirty skirts (not yet bought) and cute capris!



These are divine snappy summer sandals with a load of bling. I have a great sundress from last year that these will pair nicely with.



Here are a sweet pair of gray patent peep-toes that I bought for my future life as a corporate business monkey.



And the coup de gras! Chocolate Brown SnakeSkin Pointy Toed Heels!!! EEEEE!!! So sweet! So divine! And I'm sure they will couple well with any suit I buy for my future life.

Of course, at this time I'm still wearing the traditional barf-khaki uniform and requisite black shoes everyday at work - but a girl can dream, right? Soon I'll transition into the civilian world and my shoes will be ready to go to work. Maybe they can find me a job!
