Last week was the first class back at yoga after the holiday break. For me it was an even longer break since my knee surgery last July. Everyone was still chatting as I sat down to take out my indoor shoes. I was struggling to discern which was left and which was right when the woman in the next chair leaned over and said, ”You do realize that you have shoes from two different pairs, don’t you?”
Of course I didn’t realize that at all! When my friend came over to assist me, it turned out that I definitely had shoes from two different pairs. At least I had grabbed the left foot from one and a right foot from the other. Even if the styles didn’t quite match and the colours didn’t either, I did have the semblance of a pair.
While I am usually fairly careful about choosing matching outfits, I do tend to buy shoes in similar styles. So, over the holidays when I reorganized my closet I must have put the two pairs of shoes back in their wrong spots.
Unfortunately this isn’t the first time I have made this fashion error. I remember once when Lyle and I were shopping. We had stopped at a number of small stores where I was trying on clothes. It wasn’t until we were home again that Lyle told me I was wearing unmatched shoes. He said that he didn’t tell me while we were out as he didn’t want me to be embarrassed. Of course I was embarrassed just thinking about it!
Possibly nowadays, wearing unmatched outfits is a fashion statement in itself, but I am still of the old school and like to feel coordinated. Nevertheless, wearing two right shoes or two left shoes at the same time could be a mite uncomfortable.
