Shoes

I’ve recently developed this weird obsession with high heels. I’m not one to wear them everyday. I’m more into comfort than style, if you haven’t noticed. Yet, if I’m going out somewhere that’s remotely “special” I take it as an excuse to wear heels. I’m probably over-dressed, but I rather that than be under-dressed.

It also creates a mini war in my head when I go to parties. I’m not super tall, but I like HIGH heels (not so high that I wobble when I walk, but up there) so when I’m near guys that aren’t all that tall I feel awkward, especially if I’m dancing with them. Even if I’m not taller than them with the heels it’s a bit of a turn off not being able to look up at them. Not that I have anything against short guys. I just feel more secure around a guy that’s taller/wider than me. Maybe I should consider buying smaller heels, but they just don’t give the same effect. The heel really adds to the shape of your foot, gives it a nice arc. It also adds to the shape of the legs, optical illusion maybe.

I’ve gotten into the habit of looking at shoes as I walk. If I see an attractive girl I look at her shoes and give a mental thumbs up. If I see someone who isn’t hot (i don’t want to say ugly) I look at her shoes and if they are pretty shoes I give a thumbs up to her also. Creepy but it keeps me busy as I walk. A great alternative to day dreaming because I can’t bump into people if I’m looking at their feet.

I want to buy more shoes, but brighter colors, crazier styles. O if only I’d get a raise.
