My day got off on the wrong foot

I had court today for the first time with my new job. I was nervous and excited at the same time. Last night I went shopping so I could buy a blazer to look more professional for court. I even got up earlier than usual so that I could actually do my hair which I don't normally do. Got to work, gathered my files and off I went to meet with the judge and five attorneys. About three hours later, I was leaving the office to grab lunch and start my field visits. As soon as I stepped off the elevator and into the sunshine, I looked down and saw that I was wearing two different shoes!!

I cannot even believe that I did this. I was so embarrassed and immediately called my coworker who had gone to court with me. She, of course, thought it was hilarious. In my defense, I have two pairs of boots that are the same style, different colors. Plus, Caleb was off work today and when I was getting dressed he was still asleep so when I sat down on the bench at the end of the bed to put my shoes on, the lights were off. I totally blame him.

What I don't understand is not how I ended up with two wrong colors, but how I got a left and a right and not two lefts or two rights. My shoes are lined up in my closet by pairs, or so I thought. Luckily I was meeting Caleb at home for lunch so I did change my shoes before doing field visits. However, I remembered that I wore my black boots to work yesterday as well.

Or did I?
