MAMACARE MONDAY


Like most women I love a good shoe game, in fact at one point in my life (much younger) I prided myself on having several pairs of shoes; pumps, sandal's, boots, wedges, vintage, contemporary, etc... If it was cute, I had to have it! However, my lifestyle has change quite drastically since becoming a mother and strutting around squeezing my foot into stilettos hardly seems practical and even less appealing, regardless of how gorgeous they are. Yet at the same time, just because I am a mother doesn't mean I need to sacrifice style nor comfort, can't I have it both? Lets face it, how you were and the taste you had in your 20's is not how you are going to be nor have in your 30's (God willing), the name of the game is evolution and your taste levels, ideas, thoughts, goals, etc... change and evolve as you age. In addition to that, being a mom added to the mix brings on a whole new crop of goals, ideas thoughts, taste, etc.... but I always say and am forever on the quest to merge my mommy-hood with my woman hood. As a mother, I still want to look and feel good, yet maintaining practicality for my current lifestyle, however not sacrificing one for the other.

Always being found of beautiful heels and how they make me feel, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the new physical store for Sarah Jessica Parker's shoe line "SJP collection" in North Harbor D.C. this weekend during a girls getaway trip.  Launching her line in 2014, and distributing to a few major retailers; Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom's and some Macey's, I haven't really seen nor heard much about her line since. Fast forward to this weekend in D.C. while browsing around the MGM casino shops there, I stumbled upon the store. I was definitely impressed and immediately attracted! wall to wall of beautiful colors and styles with the extra touch of her signature strip on the back of each pump, giving it that "cute and casual" look, what I like to call edgy sophistication. As I was browsing the store and watching patrons trying on and marveling at the collection as I was, I asked a few women what they thought and the big question: how do they feel? Its great to have a pretty shoe and all but if it cuts into your feet and you can't do the one function feet are for which is to walk, its not worth it, especially being a busy mom running behind kids.
