It was warm yesterday so I put on my new black capris slacks (so soft!) and a black tank with a lovely, loose scoop-neck short sleeve over it. I thought my outfit would look particularly pulled together with all-black sandals*. At the moment I have a very old, very worn pair of brown wedges, a very old, very worn pair of high heel black and cream sandals, white and cream jute wedges, black flip-flops, and all black high heels. The latter I generally don't like to wear much because, although they are comfortable, they clack very loudly and are finicky if I step wrong. In other words, they force me to walk a certain - very careful way. But I wanted to look nice so I put them on and, shortly after, nearly fell on my face in the kitchen. I grumbled and found myself praying to the Gods to lend me grace. In fact, all day I caught myself praying before I went down the stairwell. "How funny," I thought, "that I'm praying to the Gods to keep me upright when I'm the goof who decided to wear these shoes."
I would like to find a comfortable, classy, and practical pair of black sandals. Ideally they would be vegan and more fabric than plastic. I'm having a difficult time finding anything like that... Most eco-chic shoes are very expensive. Tom's Shoes doesn't seem to make sandals. I normally love buying second-hand or vintage but I simply will not wear shoes another has worn. It skeeves me out. I will probably look around the mall and see if I can find anything... But I will continue to look around online. I'm not completely against spending $80ish for a pair of good shoes. I wear shoes until they start to fall apart, so if I can find something of quality that is more earth-friendly than leather or pleather, I will consider it.
Being a fashionable and eco-friendly Pagan is a very fine line to walk...
* I have to look relatively nice where I work. No sneakers or flip flops!
