Day Three Hundred and Eighteen - Mismatched

When I was younger one of my best friends, Jennifer, wore mismatched socks on purpose all the time. I was always incredibly envious that she thought of this first. Not only did it mean that she didn't have to sort her socks out of the laundry, I decided it was perfectly quirky. However, she did think of it first so I couldn't copy her. I think you'll have to admit that I have some pretty amazing style icons littered throughout my past. Then, I read about fellow thing-a-dayer Colette wearing mismatched shoes to the gym...and I thought - dang [because I have to say dang because of the whole swearing thing] - that just steps up the game! And, I do love trainers - they are my favourite type of shoe to buy as they are generally more available in my size than fancy shoes. So tonight I wore mismatched shoes. The bottoms of the shoes are very similar, but Joseph noticed right away [he's pretty quick - I can't pull much over on him].


I was going to wear the mismatched shoes to work all day, but then decided to dress up, even though it's ultra casual Friday. Also, I was worried that wearing mismatched shoes might be bad for my ankles/knee and I didn't want to frak anything up as I'm in the final week of preparing for our main annual fundraising event and I so need my walking ability. To my surprise, the shoes I picked [because they are my current two favourites - red Converse for obvious reasons and blue Airwalks with cute skulls] felt identical on my feet. If someone put these shoes on my feet and I was blindfolded or something - I would never know that I was wearing different shoes. I think a lot of my trainers are this style of shoe, so I'm quite delighted. I can now start wearing mismatched shoes on a regular basis.
