This morning I put on sandals, just straps to go to church and I thought of when Dad took me to get my dress shoes for graduation. I tried on different shoes but the clerk was very specific about what kind of shoes I should get. At first I said I'd like heels but he said "white heels should only be worn for formal evening wear. So then I said I'd like sandals with straps. Then he said "No, you should only wear them when you have pretty feet and you shouldn't wear them. I thought "Well he's telling me I have ugly feet."
I ended up buying wedge heels with just the toe out and a strap around the heel. They covered up most of my foot so I guess he thought they covered up most of my ugly feet. If that happened today I would say I'm spending my money and I'll buy what kind of shoes I want.
You go Katherine. I agree with you. Wear what you want and people will have to deal with it.
