Shopping - Bah Humbug!

If you think about shoes, a few facts come to mind:

• Everyone wears them
• They can dress-up or dress-down an outfit
• There's a shoe for every occasion
• A new pair of shoes can put a spring in your step!

I personally love a new pair of shoes and I love to shop for shoes, but I gotta ask you ... who has the time to shop?

I work a thriving business and before that, I had a busy career with a house, kids and a home to take care of. So as much as I love to shop, I don't have much time left in the day to roam about the shopping malls.

Now the holidays are fast approaching. This is my favorite time of year, but again I ask you -- who has the time to wander the shopping malls? I sure don't. Life is just too busy and I guess I have to admit it -- The older I get, the less I like it.

Uh Oh --- I hope my daughter didn't hear that.

So what's a busy Gal like me to do when I need a new pair of shoes for that Christmas party or to to simply pick up my spirits?

Shop online I tell you!

I'm still not sure why more people don't do it. No wait, I think I know -- "I like to try them on and see how they fit"

Yep, I hear that a lot.

OK, there's something to be said for "trying them on for fit" I'll give you that one, but if you try them on at home and they don't fit, send them back "free of charge" and you can still have the right size sent to you within a few days.

Yep ... there is a little planning required. Buying shoes on Saturday to wear on Sunday might not work online, but if you do a little pre-planning you can have yourself a new pair of shoes within a few days -- with free delivery! ( Zappos, Shoebuy, Shoes.com and Onlineshoes.com all have free shipping, free returns and the BEST customer service)

So, if they don't fit, return them for free. Only requirement - think ahead, don't procrastinate. I guess that's a topic for another day.

So, if you're feeling a little down and you need a pick me up, take a break and get on out to your favorite online shoe store. It's fast, fun and it will give you something to look forward to in your mailbox.

Or who knows - you might even find a great gift for someone else!
