Reve-slipper-lation

So for many years I have been very stubborn about my slipper footwear. I get Isotoner black spandex ballet slippers with a leather sole. I wear them till the seams start to come undone and then wear them some more. My first pair was one I stole from my Mom many years ago. They always make that slipper sound and once they are worn in you can slide across the floor in them.

I decided last year it was time for new slippers and set my heart on the L.L. Bean Hearthside ones. And then they sold out and were not going to restock till next year. So this year I ordered early and lo and behold they did not fit. So Saturday there was a family trip to the local L.L. Bean. Turns out the slippers I thought I wanted were just no good for my feet. I was sorely dissapointed. I was going to get warm slippers for once. Maybe my feet would be less cold this winter, but no. All the other slippers were the big puffy ones. Ugh.

Then between my man and my Mom asking just why it was that those puffy ones were no good I decided perhaps it was time to be a bit adventerous and at least try a pair on. Let me tell you it was love as soon as my foot was in that slipper! And now, having owned them for less than 48 hours they have quickly risen to one of my prized posessions! I probably have not been this excited about footwear since my Frye boots were purchased in January 2008. (I mean Frye boots, what could top that?!)

Anyways, this is my new found love (L.L. Bean women’s Wicked Good Moccasins)
