Team Heels or Team Flats?

By necessity I'm a member of Team Flats - the issues I have with feet and knees simply (and sadly) don't support wearing a heal higher than 2 inches (and even then I'm pushing it at 2 inches!).

But trust me, if my knees weren't so bad - I'd at least have tried those three inchers! ;-)

Over at...

Fashion for Aliens, we get pointed to a wonderful flat spectator shoe...

Shopping for Beth Ditto In Bluewater

I've always loved the spectator look, but these days it's usually done in a plump with a 3 inch heel! With my foot issues, that just doesn't work for me. So I was thrilled to see this great looking shoe in a flat! Even more thrilled to find out that the UK shop, Evans sales and ships to the US! How great is that? ;-)

Speaking of Ms. Angie...

She has a great post on the joy of wearing flats...

Wearing flats with frocks and skirts

As anyone who reads here regularly knows, I now have to wear flats (through with the right shoe I can push it to 2 inches). So it's great to read a post on how to do it stylishly! :-)

Been dying for a pair of Louboutin?....

Weekend shoe dilemma?

Ms. Allie over at Wardrobe Oxygen has suggestions...

Ask Allie – Weekend Shoes

I, myself, have been looking at the Privo line to replace my beloved (but getting too well loved!) Tradewinds that I wear as my street shoes every day!

Check out the Privo line here...

From the The Wall Street Journal

Shoeaholic Mourns Stilettos, Copes With Comfort

I was never really a shoeaholic, but in my day I loved to wear a good looking pump! Now it truly pains me that I can no longer go much beyond a good kitten heel due to my enema issues.

This video cuts straight to the heart of some of the issues you just about have to face as you age - finding a way to do so in a way that accommodates some of your new limitations - while not giving up on style!

Just remember - if you don't indulge in denial and keep your head in a positive space, it can be done!

I have a pair of walking shoes similar to the ones this lady finally settled on - and I have received more complements on them than on any heel I've ever worn. I think it's because they have a very pretty toe - so when you look down you see these pretty shoes sticking out from under the pants, not the swollen foot!

Yeah, yeah I know - my love of Issac's stuff just won't end! But these are the perfect work pumps, out to dinner pumps, to church pumps - you name it! Sadly, with the 3 inch heel they won't be my pumps - but for those of you who can, check them out!



Cindy Ivana Fabric Pump - $99.95

I just, just LOVE this shoe! It comes in 4 other colors, including a neutral. Just the thing for adding a bit of that floral trend to your wardrobe for this spring and summer!

And speaking of neutrals....



What's What Dominate Patent Platform - $39.95

This is just a flat out classy shoe that can be worn for just about any occasion - think about those upcoming spring and summer weddings ladies!

This is bad ladies - very bad - for my pocketbook! :-O

Seriously, go on over - and enjoy

As any one who reads here knows....

I have issues with edema which has caused me to all but give up higher heeled shoes (through my recent purchase from the Isaac M.'s Target line is giving me hope that I can go as high as a 2 inch heel in comfort - if it's the right shoe!).

So how delighted was I to see Ms. Teresa over at Wardrobe 911 giving tips on great outfits to put together with ballet flats...
