It’s a busy week: One of those where I have to “pack” my bag in the morning to take me through my 9 to…9. In the winter, I always laugh at the number of different pairs of shoes I have to carry to get me through the various stages of my day. For example, yesterday:
1) My morning began in my red rain boots from J.Crew, stuffed—for warmth—with black thermal liners. It was negative 2 degrees when I walked out the door and the ground was slick with ice.
2) My commute behind me, I traded my red rain boots for black leather boots, a more stylish (and work-appropriate) option, but something that definitely added plenty of bulk to my bag.
3) At the end of the day, I switched into my cute (and neon!) sneakers from J.Crew. I got in the elevator at work and recited in my head: “I will get off on the 14th floor and work out. I will get off on the 14th floor and work out.” Even though I carried those sneaks all the way from Brooklyn, nope—I skipped the gym and headed home, changing back to my red boots to catch the train.
How many shoe changes does it take to get you through your day?
