Sometimes you just know

This morning as the plane was landing in Dallas I looked down at my shoes and I hated them. These Cole-Haan split-toe black shoes were hideous to me. I've had them way too long. Plus, I think my socks may have been navy. When we got our rental car, I told the woman I was travelling with that we had to make a stop before our meeting. We pulled into Nordstrom's in Dallas and I walked in and picked out a new pair of Kenneth Cole black dress shoes and some black socks, put them on and paid for them. When the salesman tried to hand me my old shoes and socks, I said, "No. Throw them away. I never want to see those shoes again."

We walked right out and went to our meeting as if it were completely ordinary to stop on the way to a meeting and buy new shoes. Because, for me, it is entirely normal.

You know what they say: dress for the job you want, not the job you have. That said, I think if you're stopping to buy emergency shoes at Kenneth Cole, then you've completely missed the point. Apparently you just had a shoe-related anxiety attack which was resolved by mall shoes. Sorry, sad!
