Yeah! It’s fight the frump Friday with Fussy!
I am really bad about nail polish. I love it, but am not very coordinated. I have found that my skills are only useful on my feet. When I attempt painting my fingernails, I am fine for 5 and then things go messingly awry. So, I stick with the toes. I need to keep up with it better hence this post.
Before:
After:
Yep, already better. But you say, it is the middle of the winter! No one is going to see them. Why bother? I need the practice. I need the practice painting. I need the practice keeping up with it. I need the practice because I found these on an off season huge blow out sale at Last Call:
But those are just a pair of brown Jesus sandals, big deal? I think not. I have been searching for the perfect pair of mommy sandals for summer use. It has been a 2 year exhaustive search of shoe stores all over the country. Here are the guidelines:
1. Have to be cute–duh.
2. Have to have comfortable sole to be able to walk for miles–duh.
3. Have to have some sort of strap so they will stay on my feet–duh.
4. Have to be neutral in color so can be worn with any summer outfit–duh.
5. Can’t be clunky–duh.
6. Have to be affordable so it doesn’t jeapordize a purchasing summer wardrobe to go with the greatest mommy sandals ever–duh.
Alright, after writing that out it appears all those points are obvious, but transition that list to the mall and sometimes things aren’t as easy as it sounds. So here is my really AFTER:

Cute toes and shoes.
I may actually be motivated to paint mine.
Wow. I really need a pedicure. I can’t wait for flip-flop weather.
Cute shoes (and toes).
I posted pedicure pics once last spring, and then I got weirded out because right after that some strange guy left an unrelated comment on my blog, so I took them down in a fit of total paranoia.
Gorgeous!
My toes are in a before stage right now. I need to get a pedicure, soon.
One of my husband’s friends told me I had really nice feet and every since then, I’ve kept them painted. lol Silly, I know.
Love it! And that is a very nice shade of red, by the by. Sometimes its hard to find the right one, but you sure did!
Ugh. I am sooo bad about painting my nails. I do my toes about twice a year, most of the time staring at them wishing they looked prettier and doing nothing about it. Unless I get a pedicure. I love pedicures.
Except the news has me scared of contracting a disease.
Having painted toenails does make me feel less frumpy. But in the winter I like to give the nails a break. As soon as spring hits I’ll be back to the painting!
Very cute shoes and toes!
I always have to have my toenails painted, but rarely have anything but clear on my fingernails 🙂
Great fight the frump post!
mine look worse! I haven’t had a pedicure since September 20. I may never go back after I watched Rachael Ray this morning…
Cute!! You’ve reminded me that I need a pedicure. Mine don’t even have polish right now. They’re completely nude.
