The next time I try to go shopping in heels

[afuna]

...somebody please steal my shoes and run away with them (run very very far away).

Today was my cousin's engagement party, so I put on a dress, borrowed heels from my sister, and went to attend the ceremony plus lunch. It's an elaborate, elegant ceremony, involving lots of shiny dresses, lots of shiny stuff, and lots of the bride-to-be walking around and offering the right shiny stuff to the right people in shiny clothes. Really gorgeous and fun to watch.

It was also a lot of people (some of whom I enjoyed spending time with), and a lot of good food (all of which I agreed with at the time, but some of which is currently disagreeing with me).

Afterwards, I headed to the mall in my heels with my brother to buy my mom's Christmas present. Her bag was getting pretty worn out, so I knew what I was going to get her. It was just a matter of finding the perfect one.

We blitzed through all the shops which carried bags, and we found one that was almost perfect! It would be perfect if it were red, but I am happy with what we found.

Somewhere in between the lunch and the mall though, the shoes started rubbing my toes raw, and my pace went from going "*tok* *tok* *tok*" to "*awkward clomp* *pause* *thwonk* *pause* *big gallumphing blonk*" (Something about the shoes being half a size too big and my walk being really really fast because we needed to head home soon)

Isasauli ko ang sapatos sa kapatid ko pag-uwi. Sa kaniya na lang :-) (I'm giving back the shoes to my sister when I get home. She can have them)

But what if it's a store for well-heeled shoppers only?

[afuna]

AH well, they'd probably kick me out anyway ;-)

[pauamma]

Who knows, maybe they'd just shoe you out...

*makes a face at you (a grinning one*)

*looks smug*

Yes, well, now you know better.

I can't really speak, because my feet are so bad that I have to wear special arch-support shoes and high heels are totally verboten.

[afuna]

*nods* Yeah I do *rueful*

I love my shoes, which are mostly flats, but sometimes I get just a bit too tempted to dig into my sister's closet -- and now I know *g*

Pity...if you had had a car with you, you could have stowed flats in the car and changed out before the mall. I actually wear knock-off Crocs with my casual dresses if I know I'll be going walkabout - comfort trumps fashion in that case.

Congratulations to the bride-to-be! :)

hee, I had a car, but didn't have enough experience with heels to think of that beforehand *G*
