If the shoe fits

I tend to be very persnickety about certain things. Every once in a while I will get this image in my head of something I want. Take shoes for instance, if I'm shopping for shoes, and I get an idea in my head it doesn't matter if the image is based off something I've actually seen in a store. I will not rest until I find that thing I'm looking for. Today I was shopping for shoes, I went to several stores and exhausted myself looking for something that probably doesn't exist. During my hunt, I saw plenty of cute shoes: boots, flats, pumps, all perfectly adorable and possibly even in my size...but they weren't what I was looking for.

Sometimes I just get so stuck in my own head, and so focused on one specific "pair of shoes" that I won't try anything else on, it's like I don't even see any of the other shoes out there. I just leave the store empty handed, and end up disappointed, exhausted and barefoot.
