They were screaming at me.
There they sat under my desk, yelling as loud as can be . . . Fix Me!
So I did.
I finally yanked off my black pumps and took a sharpie to the nicks and scratches that couldn't be ignored. I am no fashion plate and I am rather proud of that fact.
I have worn the same pair of shoes everyday for two years. I don't like having to trudge through snow in high heels and walk through puddles, and if I want to take a quick couple of laps around the building for a little exercise, I don't want to do in in pumps.
So there they sit, every evening, every weekend. Alone.
But to make this fashion crime even worse, no shoe polish will ever touch these babies, Nope! Not even a swipe with one of those handy shine sponges. They get sharpie marker touch-ups.
So does this make me thrifty? Or just cheap?
Is there even a difference?

Thrifty is using your money wisely. Cheap is using as little money as possible not caring about the outcome. So you just buy a pair of black shoes for $.50 at a garage sale and they make your feet hurt and your bakc hurt and you get a head ache but the price was right. OR you buy a can of plain label pork & beans and they are mush but you keep buying them because of the price.
I say you are thrifty. And, wearing pumps just isn't in our blood. The way I see it, it's all about comfort and function. If you can wear a pair of shoes to work that look good with the outfit AND are comfy enough to take a walk at lunch, you have succeeded greatly! You go girl!! You and your Sharpie GO!!! LOL!! ;)
Really, if you think about it, you are even being thrifty in the use of the Sharpie. Not only does it work to fix the shoes, but it also works to write notes, etc. Better than having a bottle of stuff that is ONLY used for fixing shoes! EVERYONE loves the Sharpie!! (And they smell good! LOL!!!!!)
