A Tale of Two Shoe Styles


Yesterday morning when I left my home it was 44 degrees although it was going to be low 70's by mid day.  What you will see on the streets of New York City are varying degrees of footwear on women.

You will still see flip flops, sandals, pumps, ballet flats; but, also boots.  We live in a dichotomy at this time of year as to what it is we want to put on our feet.  Do we want to be stylish, comfortable or just warm.  Some of us are trying to extend the summer and the time that we can still have our toes peeking out with their perfect manicure - others are saying okay time to put the feet away and not have to worry about whether we have to pumice away those heel calluses.

I subscribe to the group who wants to extend summer - so if the weather is going to be warm later on I will wear sandals - they may be a darker color, a heavier looking sandal and more closed than open.

The same is happening with coats - who wears one and who refuses to acknowledge it is time to take them out!
