Bouquet of shoes

My favorite shoes of my wife’s are her grey Converse tennis shoes.  Everything gets more formal from there, but to what purpose?  Its for others, not for me, they sometimes hurt her to wear and the tension of wearing the correct combination of clothes & shoes is high. And all this to please others and an Advertising/Marketing world that I participate in, and that is the irony.   Bertrand Russell stated, ” We need  defenses against the seduction of eloquence”.
