Ungrateful

[dragonlady7]

They’re the kind of shoes I daydreamed about, when I was a waitress. I’d see women wearing them, the tall heels and the strappy sides, flashes of stocking showing through. I’d admire their short, graceful strides, the way their calves looked so toned, their arches so high. I would see these shoes in stores, in catalogues—high heels, funky details, pretty shoes, cute shoes, come-fuck-me shoes. I wanted these shoes, but I knew there was no room for them in my life.

Now that I work in an office, all I can think is how they pinch my toes.

rofl...we all want them. We stride out wearing them and for a block or so we are gorgeous, powerful and sexy. Then the pain sets in.

Dress heals are implements of torture...and yet...so so pretty.

Go up a size or so. It's what I do, and it helps.

Get heels a size bigger, because your foot expands when you walk in them. It definitely helps!

That sums up adulthood nicely. As a kid you're so eager for it, and then when you get it, you discover all the ways it pinches and chafes. :)

Heheh. So true. (The 'size larger' really does help.)
