Friday's Find

Like most little girls growing up in suburban America, I took ballet lessons. The result, aside from an (ahem) natural grace, was that I lived in my ballet slippers. I wore them to school, to the store, basically on any occasion that required shoes and not rain boots. Eventually, I gave up ballet in favor of Tae Kwon Do, and slowly out grew my ballet slippers. Sad face.

But don't worry, there's a happy ending. Two weekends ago I was out on my usual walk about and passed a store selling tutus, leotards, and yes ballet slippers. I looked in the window feeling nostalgic, so I walked in and bought myself a pair. And ...

I love them! I wouldn't wear them out or to work, but they are the perfect thing to wear at home. They're pretty, comfy, breathable, warm, and just slightly more chic than my old ratty slippers -- just the thing to pull my at home lounging "outfits" together.
