Are you killing your feet for fashion??

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ok, I'm guilty. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Last weekend I decided to walk 12 blocks in my high heel booties & boy, was that a mistake?!? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">My HUSBAND usually warns me before going out with him. He starts by saying, "<i>sweetheart, please wear comfortable shoes."</i> Of course I tell him,  <i>"But I like looking sexy for you."</i>  Well.....sexy ends up turning into, <i>"ugh, my feet are killing me!"</i> & him saying, <i>"Jen, what did I tell you?" </i> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ever been in that scenario ladies??</b><i></i></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Exhibit A- Here I am with the high heel booties, little did I know I'd need a foot massage when the day was over!</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8y6RtDX0jdsPPFCMQQ6B-X8o_YUHcNLYjJPql8NCGMmTLzt8HmQLPSCX9ATRdrcNNjHaXVRWmq2yvcBQlFo7miOPB_KwAA3-rZAuLK06ISCg6KS_kuzsmtSTTCB6S5w0EJ5O-mSVyOI/s1600/Photo1a+copy1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8y6RtDX0jdsPPFCMQQ6B-X8o_YUHcNLYjJPql8NCGMmTLzt8HmQLPSCX9ATRdrcNNjHaXVRWmq2yvcBQlFo7miOPB_KwAA3-rZAuLK06ISCg6KS_kuzsmtSTTCB6S5w0EJ5O-mSVyOI/s1600/Photo1a+copy1.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">So, on that note.... this SPRING, my wardrobe will include MORE flats. I have to say, since moving back to NYC - I've walked more than EVER!!!! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">In fact, I walk about 6 miles per week just for exercise alone....not counting the days I walk around shopping. Many of you New yorkers know these streets are rough on your feet. With that said, I'm not about to KILL my feet, so looks like flats are the way to go this Spring! I probably won't give up heels completely, but a break every now & then is in order.<i> What do you say ladies?? </i> </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Below are some awesome choices I found via <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-flats?origin=leftnav"><b><u>Nordstroms</u></b></a>.<i></i></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQnaj_XZFe74UMJ-NJg9XgtWIssxs96ZNYX-sSGtE0soAWlTPsyC2Cq3wl_RYPrb8Y_wrYxt_jrR0lLz5wFOw4iORZoAfnbte7JAfckwA5o_8kxcNgbeqVjGbKvGHpbdfw9SXM6g-3Rvc/s1600/flats2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQnaj_XZFe74UMJ-NJg9XgtWIssxs96ZNYX-sSGtE0soAWlTPsyC2Cq3wl_RYPrb8Y_wrYxt_jrR0lLz5wFOw4iORZoAfnbte7JAfckwA5o_8kxcNgbeqVjGbKvGHpbdfw9SXM6g-3Rvc/s1600/flats2.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Do you prefer heels over flats?

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello everyone, how are you??</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">While I settle in at my new apartment (<i>as a renter</i>) - I'll be posting a weekly series called "<i>the good, the bad, the ugly</i>" about the rental experience. Not sure how long the series will last - but it should be interesting!

These days they have so many styles to choose from - so it's pretty easy to find a pair you like.
