Could I really run away from the lion?

They say that shopping is like therapy for women, which should be taken from time to time. And I wonder... if I go shopping and I don't know what I am actually treating, i.e. what I am taking therapy for, does that still apply? Maybe if I combine this shopping with a walk, then it is justified. 😁

The first stop on this shopping walk was my favourite park, Jardín de la Música (the Garden of Music). With the piano music of Chopin, which was heard today from small speakers hidden in different corners all over the park, my feet walked in this rhythm.

The running shoes I am wearing had their world premiere on my feet today. I don't want to say which store they came from, so as not to sound like an advertisement, but I already had similar ones, of different colours. They are more than ok, very comfortable, and last just as long as some other trainers from better-known brands. The price was also quite affordable, and I liked the combination of the white and purple, which is why I chose this design.

It was fun to make this photo. Fashion shoe modelling 😂, showcasing the trainers that I bought yesterday for our walks. However, I needed new sandals too (the old ones are already in a bad shape) to wear with some summer dresses, so that is why my shopping walk happened this morning.

After leaving this park, I arrived at the street with several shoe shops. The thing here is that many businesses and shops close in the second half of August to take a break. It is warm in the city so the owners take a vacation in this month. Luckily, there were still those who were open.

The sandals that could have made it onto my favourites list are the following:

I don't usually wear shoes with thick platforms, but they seem to be a hit this summer. Many of those were immediately rejected in my mind because of the thick soles, so just these few were interesting for me, even though in the end I chose the sandals you see in the next image. They were on sale; I got them for a good price. Their sole is not very thick, but not thin either, so it is just between.

The sandals I bought in the end

Well, the part of the walk that involved going into stores and choosing shoes ended. With the new sandals in my cloth bag, I passed by a square that had a lot of greenery. And a lion!!

I didn't see any domestic cats on today's walk, just this big kitty. How calm he was, fortunately for me. 😁

However, if he decided to chase me, I could try to run in my new trainers, a perfect occasion to see if they are comfortable and light to that extent to escape from the claws of this creature. I suppose my GIF would show quicker steps, not those slow ones from the beginning of this Wednesday Walk. 🏃‍♀

Like every Wednesday, we enjoy what you share with us.

Sometimes we go for a walk and we've already planned where we'll go, but we quickly find ourselves in other places or doing things we didn't plan. This is what happens to me sometimes.. Thank you for sharing🙂.

It was a good choice of sandals. I love sandals too I have a few that I dust off every summer. 😁

For summer, what better than sandals, though I wear trainers most of the time 😂
I am glad you like them, I like them too, and they are comfortable.

Shopping would be a therapy and a self reward if you have the finances for it but if you are on tight budget then it might gives the opposite.

That is true. That is why I go shopping just on rare occasions, when I really need something, as was the case now. ;)

Good choice, the upper left, it fits with everything.
My old sandals are worn out, it was time to buy new ones already at the beginning of summer but I didn't have time for that either hahaha.

A ese parque le sobran razones para volver a él una y otra vez. Y si regresas con unas zapatillas tan cómodas para caminarlo, mejor aún. ¡Ayyyy si me empato con esa tienda¡...me invento mil motivos para darme terapia 🤣. Cualquiera de las sandalias que tenías en tu lista hubiese estado más que bien. Las que finalmente compraste están perfectas (me encanta el color) y aunque tampoco me gustan con suela alta, esas no lo son tanto. Además se ven muy cómodas, listas para usar con un vestido veraniego (con estampados florales 😜). Lindo miércoles...bueno, lo que te queda de él 🤭🤗

Jajaja, cuando está aquí nuestro hijo le decimos: Quizás Valencia tiene muchas cosas más, pero no tiene el jardín de la música 😂 Claro, a mí especialmente me encanta porque se escucha música clásica todo el día.

Cuando estaba mirando las sandalias me acordaba de ti! Sé que te gustan, de tu post de colección 😉

(con estampados florales 😜)

Sin falta!! 😁

Gracias, y feliz miércoles también, yo estoy muerta, mis ojos ya casi se cierran 💤

I think those shoes would be very effective if a lion were chasing you, but remember, you're an elephant, it won't attack you. I'm telling you this as a panther myself, ha ha ha.

Of all the sandals you showed me, I would choose the ones you bought. They look perfect and comfortable, and they're on sale too!

Run, run! Here it comes!

Hahaha, I managed to escape (even though I am an elephant indeed haha) and now I am back. The lion sleeps now, I hope 😂, but I will sleep soon too. Good night 😇💤

Good afternoon @mipiano, I think shopping is therapy if you don't buy online. If you go shopping and browse stores, some people consider it therapy... although I haven't figured out why yet... I liked the sandals you bought.

I wish you a great Wednesday afternoon and evening.

browse stores, some people consider it therapy... although I haven't figured out why yet

Maybe we can invent why... for example

  1. You get tired of all those stores, so it is like a workout
  2. The prices are making you dizzy, so you forget about the real problems
  3. You talk to the saleswomen and you get some positive vibes from them. Or the opposite.

🤣

Bueno, con estas bromas me despido, good night 💤 @enraizar 😇👋

Good night @mipiano, I noticed that interesting point about how you get tired in all those stores, so it's like training. It occurs to me then that going to a department store during the sales should be considered a contact sport... well, I'm also sleepy and I hardly know what I'm saying. 🙃

See you tomorrow 👋

En realidad tenemos un flotador (si se dice así, no lo sé) unicornio 😂😂, que era un regalo broma de nuestro hijo jajaja. Pero nunca le llevamos a la playa porque es demasiado grande. Pero si de verdad vienes... lo llevamos 😁

Dice el señor Google Maps que desde Rivas andando necesitarías 89 horas hasta esa playa, con bicicleta 21 horas. Pero creo si el pequeño enraizar te deja su tren rojo, estás aquí ya para mañana a las 9h. 😉
