See, as summer sandals get put aside for fall flats (or in my case, fall shoes with little heels), I noticed a big change in my feet. Wearing sandals and looser shoes all summer hid from me the fact that my footsies were swelling a little bit. I didn't notice it until I put my dress socks on for work yesterday (it was finally too cold for open toed shoes) and surprise-- my feet no longer fit into the more conforming shoe styles found in my closest. Such a shame.
So, as much as I absolutely hated having to do it (do you sense the slick sarcasm?), I forced myself into the shoe store to buy brnad new shoes for Fall. I just hate having to buy cute new shoes a half size larger than what I used to wear, but what's a girl to do? Walk around with aching feet crammed into "too-tight" shoes. No way.
The funny thing is a couple years ago, I was the complete beneficiary of this same preggers phenomenon, as it happened to my friend. Her 7 1/2s no longer fit after she had her second child. So, I got her gently worn shoes-- it was wonderful. Now its time to pay it forward just like she did if these tootsies don't go back to their original form after Little B arrives.
