Is It a Red Shoe Day?
Thanks to Tanaya's meme, I thought of this little story.
In college, several of my friends had red shoes and we developed a rule around wearing these red shoes. It does not matter what type of shoe they were - they could be the classic Ked shoes in bright red or Sperry Top-Siders or ballet flats or sandals or high heels. The one thing about them is that they could only be worn by the wearer if said wearer were gloriously happy.
Red is a color so vibrant and beautiful and full of life that one simply had to be in a good mood in order to wear them. Long before Kelly Pickler, red shoes were not all the rage that they are now. The fact that nearly every one of my friends owned a pair set us apart and made us a group unto ourselves - or so we thought.
Next time you feel fantabulous and love what you are wearing and who you are, think of in terms of your footwear. Could it be a Red Shoe Day?

I have several pair of red shoes - if I'm not happy before putting them on, I certainly am after...
I wore my favorite pair of red leather slip-ons (Paul Green, I love Paul Green shoes)today! And I had a great job.
I have to agree if I am not in a stellar mood when I put them on I can't help feeling better! I just got cute new ones at Kohl'S
