No...I'm not wanting to be single again :)...that is just the mantra that goes through my head every time I try on my new high heels. ;) That's right--'high' heels. In the past, when I've worn shoes when I dressed up, I would wear short heels-maybe one or one and a half inches high. After wearing them all night, my feet would really hurt. Often too, my feet would slip down too far and it would be really uncomfortable. Last week I bought a new black sweater dress. Chris told me that we were going to go to a Toys for Tots fundraising dinner, where Tom O'Brien was going to speak. I wore the dress to school that day, with my standard clogs-comfortable shoes for school. During the day, I decided, "I want to go buy a pair of high heels to wear with this dress tonight." After school, I went to DSW since they have a big selection. I strolled down the aisle that I normally bypass for the cute, comfortable shoes, and saw exactly what I wanted--a pair of black patent leather high heels, with a pointed front and a skinny heel in the back. The heels are about 2 inches, maybe 2 and a half, not ridiculously "I'm going to break my ankle" high but definitely higher than anything I own. I slid off my comfortable clogs, and stepped into them. I felt instantly so much taller. I walked over to the full length mirror, liking the way they felt on my feet, and admired my new profile. I LOVED them! I tried on about 4 more pairs, but kept coming back to the first pair I tried on. I bought them, brought them home, and was so excited to wear them that night.
At the dinner, I felt confident, sexy, and beautiful, and not to mention that I was also significantly taller--only about a half a foot shorter than Chris rather than my usual foot shorter. :)
I wore them again at our party last Saturday, and even though I had been on my feet all day working, I was able to wear them all night without too much pain. I guess it's amazing to think what 70 less pounds can do for your feet!
