I must be from some weird hole-in-the-wall to make the statement that I don&#8217;t like shopping. I would rather be scrubbing the tub with a toothbrush than go on a shopping spree. When I was younger, my mom knew my style and would just bring stuff home for me to see if I liked it. Now I&#8217;m the mom and have to do the shopping for everyone in my house regardless if I want to or not. That&#8217;s not to say that I find all forms for shopping exhausting. There is one article of clothing that I am always happy to look for &#8211; shoes!<\/p>\n<p>Something about shoes makes them so interesting. Wedges, espadrilles, heels, ballet flats,\u00a0women&#8217;s sandals, boots, clogs &#8211; there are so many styles to choose from. That doesn&#8217;t even include the variety created from different fabrics, embellishments, straps, etc. I personally love strappy shoes!<\/p>\n<p>After moving back and forth overseas, my collection took a hard hit. I only have about 16 pairs now but I&#8217;m still working on it. Being lazy and only wanting comfort, a good portion of that collection is comprised of sneakers and flip flops right now. Wearing them too often makes me feel frumpy so I&#8217;m on the lookout for some great deals and am anxiously awaiting the new shoe store that will be opening up in my city in a couple of months.<\/p>\n<p>Even with some serious\u00a0spend-age, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever get to a\u00a0sizable\u00a0collection like Christina but a girl can dream, right?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.instyle.com\/instyle\/package\/general\/photos\/0,,20302958_20180970_20687247,00.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14922\" title=\"aguilerashoes01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/aguilerashoes01.jpg\" alt=\"Christina Aguilera shoe collection\" width=\"605\" height=\"420\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/us.havaianas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Click here<\/a> to find the latest styles in summer flip flops fashion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14876\" title=\"level05f\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/level05f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"50\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know, I know.
