my sad shoes.

so...there's a story to this pitiful little picture of my favorite shoes. here it goes:

now, not everyone understands the attachment i have to these shoes. i got them last spring, and i wear them almost every single day. they're not only the most comfortable shoes i've ever owned, but they also matched EVERYTHING! they were white with a tan toe and just absolutely a classic "anna shoe". so since i wear them everyday, i haven't ever washed them though because obviously i'm to antsy to wear them again so they wouldn't have time to dry out....so flash-forward to this past weekend, i went home to my parents house and brought all of our laundry with me. my parents recently bought a new washer which is INTENSE! it's a front loader with tons of setting, and beepers and might as well have bells and whistles too! so anyway, since i was there for three days, i figured once all my laundry was done i might as well wash my very very very favorite shoes, since they have gained a lot of dirt on them (they weren't quite white anymore). so i put them in on the 'sanitize' setting. why not right! well, after a TWO HOUR wash, and some really really really hot and steamy water...i opened the washer. and this is what i found.

apparently there was some (and when i say some, i mean A LOT) of red dye in the sole of the shoe. so they turned pink....yeah yeah yeah, i know what you're thinking "why not still wear them, just with pink clothes or something." well i can't. the hot water shrunk them down about a whole size.

SO conclusion of my story. my favorite white 7 1/2 size shoes are now hot pink size 6 1/2 shoes. and i'm not very happy.

if you know anyone who could give my shoes a good home, let me know, until then, they'll sit on my bedroom floor and make me sad every time i see them.
