Shoes You This Day: a guest blogger

11.7.10
on the street after church:
gold and orange

p.s. dinner-in-a-pumpkin for dinner

See those hot orange heels? They belong to Stacie. This was taken at the Washington D.C. Stake Center after a CES fireside. She's my first guest blogger and here's what she has to say:

First of all I want to say that I'm honored to be the first guest of Maggie's shoe project! To start I know Maggie through church but mostly visiting teaching. What Maggie has done for me is uplift, encourage, enlighten, strengthen and brighten my outlook on a lot things including the gospel and everyday life. She is a true friend!
 

 A little bit about my shoe background is that, well, I would rather be barefoot:). However this year I have desired to branch out and buy some clothes and definitely shoes that I wouldn't usually wear (the coral heels being one of them). To do this I needed help from a friend. We began with the clothes. It wasn't until about 2 or 3 months later that the shoe shopping happened. In the time between wearing my new clothes and buying the shoes I realized that shoes can totally make or break an outfit (and not to mention emphasize the ankle of a woman, which may sound silly but ankles can be a very captivating tool). 


What branching out did for me was help me to feel more confident, flirty and, well, awesome! I know that material things are only temporary but I am thankful to have what I have and to know that looking my best can help me to feel my best. If only shoes could talk! Imagine the stories they could tell...
