New Shoes for an Old Outfit

It's the Monday morning after the President's Gala, a Norfolk State University event to raise scholarship dollars, and I think it was a great success. More than 600 people attended and we even got media coverage. I bought new shoes to "fab up" an old outfit which was a big mistake. As a gala volunteer, I was on my feet for nearly two solid hours assisting with party favors, mingling with guests and ushering people to their tables. The shoes were cute, but the heel was a little higher than I normally wear. By the time I was ready to leave the ball, I could barely walk down the stairs. My back hurt, my feet definitely were hurting and my right leg felt as though someone had stretched it on one of those medieval torture racks. Wonder if I can sell those shoes?

  1. Girl, I know what you mean! Somehow looking good and wearing comfortable shoes just doesn't see to go together. I've got lots of shoes in my closet that I want to sell. Let's have a yard sale!

    I'm glad Norfolk State's President's Gala was a success. NSU is a great asset to the community.
