We all have our fashion challenges … figure and age considerations, budget limitations, etc.
And sometimes the fashion gods decide to throw a new curveball, like a broken toe!
Four to six weeks with this ugly medical shoe for me…
Not the end of the world, but definitely the end of heels for a month or so!
For sure, I have to keep my feet equal heights. My gait is already embarrassingly lopsided, though getting a bit better every day.

I planned to find the perfect navy flat or sandal to coordinate with the hideous medical shoe, but so far, no such luck. So, I’m living in navy flip flops and after several weeks, I don’t think I’ll ever want to see them again!
I’m not even sure that matching the boot makes any sense, but it feels so odd to have one shoe making a statement all by itself!
One day I did try to rock some cropped pants with a cute left shoe, but I just didn’t think it worked …

What a mess!
I gave up and went for bootcut jeans and sneakers instead!
I think I just feel happier with the emphasis away from my feet!
I sure appreciate heels more than ever. I never thought about how great it is to just put on a pair of heels and have an outfit become more figure flattering. Not to mention that little touch of attitude in your walk! I won’t take that for granted again.
So Dolls, put on your bitch clicks and enjoy! Do it for me so I can live vicariously! Hopefully I’ll be clicking along with you before I know it.

Oh no, hope you recover quickly! I love your bob btw. Loving all the blues int the first two outfits. You look great regardless of your broken toe.
Aww, thanks so much, Cynthia. I've been wearing more blue lately to go with my navy blue medical shoe. LOL!

Now you know why I wear the highest heels possible every chance I get! LOL
Not the end of the world, my dear. How about bedazzing that medical boot and wearing it as "foot jewelry"? You can't hide it, so you may as well make it look as stylish as possible.

Blinging it out was my first instinct! And I still might do it! Wish I was craftier!

Thanks so much for stopping by, Hon!
I sooo feel your pain, dearest Dawn!! I will NEVER take wearing a great pair of heels for granted again…or walking without a limp (if I ever get to that point, that is!) 🙁 You're doing a darn good job of "camouflaging" the situation with your flipflop and sneaker match-up; but I know what you mean about getting tired of the limited footwear options!! And thank you sooo much for the link to my blog, too…I still can't believe you're going through the same thing right now!! XO

Oh no! You do rock a cast nicely though.
I don't know about that, but I am trying! Thanks so much. Hon!
What a bummer! I think you are doing a great job looking fabulous with that boot! I really like your leopard cardigan and red top outfit!
Thanks, Laura. You're so sweet! I'm trying not to give up and resort to sweats! LOL

I´m so sorry about your toe! You coordinate well your cast though with your jeans and maxi skirt outfits. Hope your toes get better soon so that you can wear your fave highest heels! 🙂

Your poor foot!! I've been struggling with wearing heels lately because I screwed my ankle up running. I've delayed going to the doctor though but now I'm wondering if I need a boot. UGH.

Looks like you are doing a good job keeping it stylish Dawn! I love your new bob too. Hope you are enjoying the 3 days off. xo Kim
Thanks, Dear. I tell you, it's a challenge figuring out what to wear with footwear so limited! But hopefully everyone is just looking at my new do instead. LOL.

At least you don't have one of those old icky plaster casts to wear that itch.
My favourite look was the maxi since you can hide anything underneath them ; ) Including a broken toe.
