So I bought a new pair of shoes to go with a new pair of pants…and I didn’t think about needing nylons until this morning, after I was already dressed and ready to put my shoes on and walk out the door. I’ve always had a stash of nylons, but do you think I could find a pair this morning? I needed brown/nude, but only had black or a single nude stocking. So I figured I would just go to Target. Simple, right?
WRONG.
They had an entire section of legwarmers (when did legwarmers come back in style?!?) and about three sections of socks, an aisle (two sides) of full-length nylons, but NO knee-highs that I could see. I was sure I had to be missing them, so I started at one end and looked at each pair…and nothing. An entire aisle of nylons and NO knee-highs. I was sure I was going crazy, so I took another pass—and I finally found one peg with knee-highs, and they were for tiny people. I thought about getting them and just wearing them around my ankles (my pants are long enough to cover them) but I just couldn’t bring myself to spend $5 on something that was the wrong size.
They did have a section of footies, which might have worked—except they only had black and white! There were like 15 empty pegs! What the hell? >:(
So on my way to work, still fuming, I decided to stop at Food Lion (grocery store) and take whatever they had, assuming they would have a few pair in their sundries aisle. And of course, they had nothing, either.
So I’m wearing the shoes (heels) without nylons and I know my feet are going to really hurt by the end of the day.
