As I pulled up to the shop where I do my fortnightly grocery shopping, I glanced down, and saw (with horror) that I was still wearing my slippers!!!
I sat there, in the car, for a moment and contemplated going home. But only for a moment. It was already 7.45pm and I was tired. So although the drive home was only 5 minutes, I chose to just go with them.
I was a bit sheepish and embarrassed to begin with and checked frequently to see if people were looking at my feet. They weren't. I guess my slippers could pass for boots after all. But who wears bright pink, slightly grubby, boots with jeans and a nice grey cardigan?
Me, I guess.
What do you think? Would you have gone home?

Haha - I so would also!
To be honest I probably wouldn't have, but that would only be because I would have been too embarrassed... mind you saying that I have seen many people out here in the boondocks with pjs slippers etc, going in to the local foursquare.... and I have been known to enter our New World in gumboots too.... good on you for taking the plunge :)
Good on you!! They look cute and better than my Nana slippers. Bet no one noticed x
Now THOSE slippers you can totally get away with. Mine on the other hand...? faux leopard skin flipflops with a grey satin bow on the side (a mothers day gift)... I would have gone home for the shoes. BUT you totally rock those pink boots and nonone would raise an eyebrow!
I do it all the time! Intentionally!xx
Lol!
Where I live you can go to the shops in your silky PJs and Ug boots stylie slippers at any time of the day!
:D
Hmmm..I could probably get away with it in my yeti boots ......just! But I would have sat there pondering like you did for a while before deciding whether to pluck up the courage!! Great little 'slice of life' story Penny!
