Ok, ladies, I need to confront you about something serious.  Because I have been seeing you in the grocery store and the mall playplace and even for goodness’ sake at CHURCH, and some of you are wearing very. ugly. shoes. And from this moment on, you cannot claim ignorance, because I am telling you that one of the Sacred Commandments of Frump-Fighting is Thou Shalt Not Wear Ugly Shoes. And in case you were going to try this one next, another Commandment is Thous Shalt Not Wear Thy Slippers Out of the House.

I KNOW your vintage 1994 Birkenstocks are comfortable, girlfriends, but they are UGLY.  And they are not doing much for your appearance!

I have really flat feet, and most “regular” shoes hurt my feet.  But I have found some VERY fashionable, affordable options that are also very cute!  Mainly, Crocs and TOMS.  I always get comments when I wear these babies out:

My cashier at Kroger LOVED them the other day.  And frankly, they added a lot to my jeans-and-sweatshirt.  They let all the people at Kroger know I was a Frump Fighter!

I also get a lot of compliments on these Crocs:

They are the epitome of comfort and style!  A plain black tee, a pair of dark jeans and these shoes make a very chic outfit to run around in all day!

So ladies, now you know.  Throw out your ugly old sandals, your orthopedic-looking Grandma shoes, your Sketchers from 1997, and your comfortable old sneakers.

Get yourself something CUTE that won’t hurt your feet, and rock ‘em in the kindergarten pick-up line, at the drug store, and on playdates.  You’re worth it!

Now it’s your turn!  Tell us how YOU fight the frump!  Link up your fashion and beauty posts from this week, and link back to this post.  Mr. Linky (and the world) is waiting – link up!
