Red Shoes

There is nothing that bespeaks independence and sassiness like a pair of red shoes, and every woman should own at least one pair.

My mother always had several, and when she gave me my first pair of sylish red silk high heels, I became a beliver in the power of red shoes. But, according to Mama, there are rules that accompany the wearing of red shoes. To this day, I’ve never broken one of them. Find out my mom’s red shoe regs at: https://wimpygirl.com/red-shoes

Talk Like Shakespeare

Did you know that Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564? Did you also know that he died on April 23, 1616? At least he was consistent.

Thus, April 23rd is Talk Like Shakespeare Day, and in his honor, that infamous bard Wimpy Girls has written an ode to everything Shakespearian and talking “purdy” like ole Will. It’s called “I Wanna Talk Like Shakespeare.” You won’t want to miss this one: https://wimpygirl.com/talk-like-shakespeare
