The Pain.. of Vain...

Ok, we all know how much i love cute shoes. My general style consists of strappy, pointy 4inch stilettoes (that is the same length as big turtle!).. Anyway, These look great and to me are very comfortable as i have walked in them for years with no hassles.

However, we all know the rules state that one should not wear the same pair of shoes 2 days in a row, cause while these shoes are "comfy" to wear, maybe not condusive to walking 6 blocks to work and 6 blocks (sometimes more when i dont take the free mall shuttle) home and running around the office like the duracell bunny!

Everyone keeps telling me, because i walk so much, to wear sneakers or kitten flats to work and then just change when i get there and same going home.. GE! As if! i am WAAAAY to vain to do that. Please. Who the heck wears tekkies with a skirt or a business suit??

Then 2 days ago i wore - not even a stilleto, but a kitten heel kinda cute, very comfy for the most part just pressed against my toe cleavage slightly... and then yesterday.. i did it! I wore them again in my haste to get out the door! At the end of the day my feet were dead.

I woke up this morning and decided to wear a black pinstriped suit because we had an all Employee meeting, i wanted to look snazzy. At 4am i got emails buzzing my phone into a coma from our London office, which i ignored, when i woke up i found that i had to be in the office early. So, i made a dash for it.. because i wanted to wear my red Guess shoes, i KNEW - there was NO way i would be able to mince in those.

So .... i thru on the sneaks.. oh yes, i did! and TJ'ed like speedy to the office, red shoes in a bag. on the mall shuttle, i could feel all eyes on me, mouthes agape in horrification. (probably only in my head!)

I got to work bruised ego, feet in tact, but when i wanted to put the red sexys on.. they hurt - alas, my feet were taking revenge!! they TOTALLY rejected the shoes like a bad kidney!

Argh. So i forced them to behave for the meeting..

but here i sit... red shoes.. NOT On my feet - at my desk, where i will stay for the rest of the day (nothwithstanding the meetings i need to go to frequently in between) because i am TOO vain to walk around the office in them.

But ahhhhh it feels good! :-)
