Bum Ankle and Attack of the Flats

Dear Lovelies:

In a weird twist of nature (pun intended), I sprained my ankle. I'd be remiss if I didn't share with my darling shoe lovers about my freak ankle injury that I had..  I am not even sure HOW i did it. I do not commute in heels (I always wear a flat and then carry my heels in my tote). Nevertheless...I've been diagnosed with a Level 3 sprain, torn ligaments and all! Luckily..nothing is broken... But still..This has made me truly sad and bummed out for several reasons....

1) I just got a LOT of fab heels over at Zappos.com and 6pm.com and truly wanted to rock them as soon as the weather got cool
2) This has put a dent in my plans for upping my cardio and getting back on my fitness kick.
3) Did I say NO HEELS???
4) So much for going on hot dates in my new heels (LOL)

This is my ankle loves...

And this is my face.....

*sigh*

The doc says I have to be outta heels for a MONTH! A MONTH, ya'll! Not to mention, I have to wear an ankle stabilizer as well. So that limits my shoe options.... No snazzy wedges..no stilettos...and no big chunky heels. I looked in my closet and realized while I do have flats, they are not very supportive in the arch (with the exception of some loafers..but uhm..we can't wear loafers w/ EVERYTHING!) What shall I do? What shall I DO??

But never the down-and-out shoe diva, I've turned this into a lesson in shopping.  First, I bought pants to cover this hideous ankle brace (LOL). Secondly...I DEF realized I need more supportive flats.  I've decided to clean out my closet...and get rid of those unsupportive flats...and also switch out my summer shoes to my fall/winter shoes (which I do this time of hear anyway)....So..I took a trip over to my VIP Zappos account (Yeah chile..they upgraded me! LOL)...and put a few flats on the "wish list". Check out what has caught my eye....

Gabrille Rocha "Neve" (comes in 10 colors) $69

Michael Kors  "Fulton" Moccasin  $98

Bandolino "Holden" $59

Bandolino "Until" $56.89 (SALE)

Naughty Monkey "From Paris" $54.99 (SALE)

Unlisted by Kenneth Cole "Savor It" $45

While I realize I can't afford ALL of these shoes (not at once)...this at least gives me options of what I can and can't wear. I'll know more once II really and truly clean out the clutter. Until then...it is ugly loafers and this ankle brace.

*le sigh*
