The Curse of the Red Sandals

While packing to move into our new house, I decided to throw away a pair of sandals that were a somewhat odd color that is probably best described as a dark brick red. I purchased them to coordinate with a dress that has since been ruined (which is girl code for “It made me look fat”).

The sandals were really cute and flattering so I kept them for several years in the hopes that I would someday find an outfit with which they could be worn.

Finally I decided that there was no way on God’s green Earth that I would ever find anything in that particular shade and since we were getting ready to move I figured it was a good time to get rid of some of the excess garbage that normally clutters up my closet.

Needless to say, a few weeks after moving into the new house we went shopping in our new neighborhood and I found a really great outfit in the exact same color red as those sandals. It figures, right?

So I bought the outfit figuring the color must be back in fashion and I would be able to find another pair of sandals. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case and I still can’t wear the outfit because I don’t have any shoes to match!

This is why women hate to throw away clothes, shoes, or purses. It’s similar to men and tools. You may not have touched it in 5 years but you know you are eventually going to need it again- usually the day after you throw it away.
