Every mom has her skinny pair of jeans, right? They want to fit in after having a baby or a very rigorous lose weight plan.

For me, the fact that I can still fit in my jeans prior pregnancy qualified them as my skinny jeans. I don’t dare to try *the* real skinny jeans from 10 years ago (I confess I kept one or two). However, I am okay with it and made my peace that the lose weight speed is not going to be as easy as it used to be. This time I would have to work for it and harder.

But, what nobody told me was I would not be able to fit in my previous favorite skinny shoes! Ever! I save them. I stored them. I dusted them. I even, once in a while, polished them. And for what? To find out that my feet can’t loose length (not naturally) or that my shoes could grow longer without the possibility of getting ripped apart.

Today is a sad day for me. What I thought I could reuse, re-love, or at least just to wear as a backup on a rainy day it’s not longer at my fingertips. I need to part ways with them.

So I went into my closet and grabbed those perfectly stacked boxes. Took each shoe one by one and took pictures of them and made a collage to later post in craigslists. It’s hard to describe how much I cared for them in an ad. I want people to value them as much as I do, not with price but with the ability to see the good condition of the shoe. Deep down, I find it hard to let go I guess. But I hit enter anyway and there it goes, my ad. The whole lot for $50.

Good bye skinny shoes. I hope a better person loves you as much as I do.
