I Love You Often

. . . just not always

The Shoe Test

August 11, 2012 by Julie Janson 4 Comments

 Take the shoe test and see how your footwear relates to your love life.

Flirty and fun Gianmarco Lorenzo stilettos. Great for short term wear on obstacle free terrain.

A closet dominated by sexy, curb-to-cab, uncomfortable shoes, may send you walking down a dangerous path. Those extreme stilettos may remove you from solid footing, much like the date who’s loads of fun, yet does not share your life values. Don’t get knocked off your feet by too many guilty pleasures. When fashion hurts,prickly love may follow.

Perhaps your pragmatic bent starts below the ankles with a collection of ho-hum shoes. If you are in the romantic dulldrums, engage in retail therapy. Add a pair of comfortable flats with embellishments to your otherwise lackluster wardrobe and love life.

Your lineage may trace back to the Puritans….but do you have to look like one too? Update your footwear, and your love life may follow.

Since the Mayflower has come and gone, Manolo Blahnik designed a stylish sequel to the stodgy Pilgrim shoe.

Let your shoes lead the way in love and relationships. When initial attraction consistently overrides inner wisdom, practice behavior modification. Train yourself to pass on footwear and consorts that you know in your heart have limitations.

No pair of peds, or person, can be the perfect fit for every walking or waking moment.

“I love how you look…but not how you feel,” is a problem.

“I love you often…just not always,” is realistic from head to toe.

    How would I relate my love life to my shoes, if I enjoy wearing flats, high heels, and sandals?

      Either you are too young to commit to any one person (let alone one shoe style), or you need a well rounded Renaissance man!

      Frankly, I love my Pilgrim shoes. Oh soooo comfortable. I updated the look with leopard loafers!
