When I started my new JOB in August I knew that finding the perfect work shoe was going to be near impossible especially considering that I didn't really know what to expect. With traveling all over to different climates during different seasons, I knew that I could no longer rely on my trusty collection of sandals to do the trick. Shortly after my first work trip I was over come with an overwhelming feeling that finding a comfortable yet STYLISH shoe was going to be a huge problem. In the past 4 months I've tried it all, but always underestimated the toll that running around an empty store carrying/dodging fixtures, mannequins, and merchandise would have on my poor feet.
Two months ago I was in Nordstroms browsing the shoe section in my ongoing effort to find a better work shoe that could withstand the 12-14 hour work days and the elements of where-ever the jet plane is taking me when I stumbled upon a pair of GOLD & SILVER Glitter TOMS. Now I don't know what you know about TOMS Shoes, but let me tell you the most important part - When you buy a pair of TOMS the company gives a pair to a child in need who doesn't have shoes of their own. If that alone doesn't make you want a pair then I don't know what kind of human being you are!
Having previously owned a pair of TOMS I knew how comfortable they were so you can imagine how EXCITED I was when I saw them in the gold and silver glitter style - finally a pair of TOMS that were work appropriate! However, when I tried them on I couldn't decide on which would go best with the majority of my work wardrobe so I sadly left empty handed. Well to my surprise on Friday I saw a random boutique on the edge of Chinatown in SF and when I walked in found a pair of BLACK GLITTER TOMS!!! It was LOVE at first sight. Once they were on my feet there was no turning back.....4 months later the search for the perfect stylish and comfortable work shoe finally came to an end......a SPARKLY END!
