High heels from Saturday night

This past weekend I found myself getting all gussied up for two parties I was invited to. If a girl is invited to two parties in one night then she must make a show of it, I reasoned. When I found a pair of black heels in my closet I knew they were perfect for completing my look. Even if my true instincts told me, “Rachel, your feet are not going to thank you later.” Because, to be honest, my feet prefer comfort and wearing high heels can be quite torturous. I put on the heels despite this and carried on. The evening was going rather smoothly… until my friend and I left for the second party, which required a 10 minute walk/jog in the rain…

“I hate wearing heels,” I whined.

“Yeah but you gotta have the heels,” he replied in all seriousness.

At that point I considered taking off my heels and chucking them at him in response to his outrageous statement. You gotta have the heels? Hello? What kind of gal does he think I am? But then I remembered I was the one who selected heels in the first place and so sometimes one must grin and bear it... and wear flats in the future.

It's raining cats and dogs

I wore the wrong shoes today and it ended up pouring. My feet are soaked and my pants are soaked up to my ankle. Also, wearing wet socks around is probably the worst feeling in the world. While stepping through one puddle after another earlier I daydreamed about rain boots. Here are a few visions I had:





Next time I'll be ready.

You can find the boots at Target.

If you thought Crocs looked funny...

I keep finding new peculiarities in footwear. To the left is the Vibram Five Fingers shoe. It is designed with barefoot movement in mind. These shoes may be useful for athletes.

The shoe on the right is Marc by Marc Jacobs. Perfect for five-year-olds. Or, if you are looking to complete your outfit for a Tacky Party. I hope this isn't a new trend.
