In Lieu of Flowers
When my cousin and her husband first met, she talked about the custom of ladies being sent flowers at work. While she would never refuse something like that, she wondered:
“If someone is buying something that is $50-100, why not buy something more practical…like shoes.”
Shortly later, a delivery showed up on her desk. It was a box, and in it was a beautiful pair of shoes. It became a custom that for Valentine’s Day, “Just Because,” “I’m Sorry,” and later “Happy Anniversary,” that a new pair of shoes would enter my cousin’s wardrobe. It was something that I think definitely set Mike apart and helped him win my cousin’s heart.
Infinityshoes has a lot of different styles that I BET that after ten years of marriage, she doesn’t have yet. I found that seychelles shoes not only makes peeptoe wedges, but they make plaid boots. The next time you don’t know what to buy something who loves both boots and plaid…now you know! If she has boots like that already, I will fall over.
Another maker that is carried is minnetonka boots. They make a variety of styles, but in particular, make fringed moccs and boots. They would be perfect for a lot of different looks. If you have been waiting for something to perfectly compliment your vintage fringed jacket, this would be it. Tsubo shoes also makes some styles that are very funky.
The site is chiefly women’s shoes right now. However, it is not too late to order Mom some “Flowers.” There is expedited shipping, afterall.
