getting old

I got a pair of what I consider way cute shoes for Christmas. I wanted a pair of black shoes that were not too dressy that I could wear on an ordinary day with things like my black Troy shirt. Obviously I picked out the wrong pair. Here are a few comments I got from work when I wore them:

"Those look comfortable, like bedroom slippers"
"You know you are getting old when you go for comfort over style"
"Where did you get those Indian shoes"
"Please tell me those aren't tassels"
"What are you wearing on your feet"

Well, I am getting old and they are comfortable. I happen to like them. They even have cute plaid on the inside. You be the judge.
