Summer School Shoes Week 1

One of the challenges I set myself for summer school (before I really grasped just how much work was involved) was to wear a different pair of shoes each day.  Success!

These are the shoes from the first week.  I think I need to find a replacement pair for the black - you can just see where the heel is wearing through.  The ivory and patent pair (thanks Jeannie!) are lovely, but very hot by the end of the day.

The red pair are possibly my current most-worn, but the white wedges and the stripey flats always receive oodles of compliments.

The Why

I am very much a creature of habit.  More so, perhaps, than most - I score very highly on the Autism Spectrum.  However, in 2010 I said 'Yes' to a challenge and my life changed for the better.  The circumstances of 2011 required me to draw the security blanket of habit closely around me - my resolution to make a new recipe each week was the only attempt to assuage the tedium - and by the end of the year I could tell things were not as brilliant as they could be.  So, here I am trying to make my life better, or at least more varied, by trying to do as many things as I can differently.  They may not all seem big things, they may not all feel like big things, but I hope to stretch the boundaries of my comfort zone and enjoy my life a little more.
