House Shoes 33

Italian Shoes 33
Women usually have a good appetite for shoe shopping, paying close attention to trends and styles. Shoes are fun to shop for and wear. .....
If you work in the corporate world, one thing's for certain. Unless you're the brilliant geeky Einstein guy working in the lab, you're probably confined to some pretty darn uncomfortable footwear. High heels for those marketing meetings. Some hard and stiff business man's shoe for the staff meeting. The hard-working nurse, with her utilitarian shoes, wants, at the end of the day, to take her shoes off and let those feet be free!

At home, you want to kick off these confining shoes. Yet your feet still need protection from the “elements” within your own home. In winter, floors can be cold. House shoes may be loosely described as footwear that's comfortable and protective indoors.

For those of us old enough to remember, the phrase “house shoes” brings to mind the 1940's movie with the star or starlet sporting a fashionable satin slipper, something elegant, beautiful, functional and comfortable all at once.

If you're looking for shoes that describe this style, consider the integration of beauty and grace that the Lauren Bacall style of seductive elegance portrayed, comfortable, yet stylish, bathing you in comfort while at the same time conveying elegance and that alluring look. These house shoes may be made of satin or velvet, with beading,sequins or embroidery.

House shoes of a more practical sort are a different story. Today, house shoes are defined as shoes suitable for indoor wear, comfortable, like slippers, yet protective against the wayward tack or shard of glass the vacuum missed, following the demise of that flower vase.

The practical house-style shoes usually are up to a little more than sitting around waiting for the butler to serve tea. They may be big and fuzzy or just a comfortable, more sturdy sandal style, up to cleaning the stove and a rigorous session of vacuuming.

In short, house shoes are foot coverings that warm your toes, cool your heels, or whatever your body requires. These indoor shoes today are not usually fashion statements, unless you hearken back a half century or more. House shoes come in many guises, some soft and fuzzy, others sleek and embroidered. The bottom line on your house shoes is that they be comfortable, an oasis in the world of sore feet.

When shopping for indoor shoes, look for comfort, first of all. Manufacturers of these home-body shoes want to please you, in looks, style and comfort. They don't need to be particularly sturdy, because they won't be braving the elements. They are meant to just protect your tootsies indoors, after all.

You can have the best of both worlds. They're fairly inexpensive, so you may want to get a pair of those velvety sequined beautys for leisure wear and a big cozy and fuzzy pair for housework on a cold day. Remember, comfort is the byline of house shoes.

Purses go on lockdown in shopping season (The Geneva Sun)

Vicki Ricker was out Christmas shopping a few years ago when she decided to take a break and have lunch. The restaurant was extremely crowded, and the tables were small. There was no place to put her purse. Frustrated Ricker came up with an invention--a purse lock that would anchor a woman's purse to a chair and lock the zipper shut, too.  ...
