No they are not the ones pictured, but this is how I imagine them when I wear them. Sure they are cheapish costume boots, but they arrived relatively quickly compared to....sigh. They came with a thank you note from the shop! And I love them!
Now, walking in them. I did better than expected. I've always payed attention when women in my life, or on TV talked about walking in heels. I've worn heels before, but it's been a while. I've always payed attention to heel related conversations as if it were a skill that I would need someday -WIN for me!
That said, I did stumble in my kitchen and almost kill myself, and I'm A LOT closer to the door frames that I was already weary about, but I can work around that. Honestly, I will probably go for a lower heel or flat when I emerge for the first time, but for now I feel fabulous walking around in them. When I'm thinking deeply about something I tend to pace around a lot. These are now my pacing shoes. Thinking and practicing? That's multitasking people!
If you live in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area...it's less likely you live in Grand Theft Auto) check out http://www.wildside.org/ The website could use some work, and the selection isn't as great as wide as other sites, but I found my experience to be wonderful. I will definitely buy from them again. And I believe they take pay-pal...which is something I gotta get on.
Annnnyyyway, so I got my internet cut off yesterday. That sucked. It wasn't that I didn't have money to pay the bill so much as it was just actually giving them said monies. I'm really bad at that. I mean, I have to log onto my banking site, then press some keys, move the mouse...and....sigh....it's really a big ordeal...complicated, no time to get into the details of online bill payment -but it's all resolved, so hurray!
Got back to some friends who had messaged me, because, frankly I have trouble sending long messages on my phone, I'm not good with touch screen keyboards. It's amazing what a day sans-internet can do. It's like, I come back online and everything is new and shiny. It's only been a day? It felt like a month I'd been gone.
I got my living arrangements 100% confirmed, so I'm very happy about that. My neighbour above me is clearly using a skill-saw for something...I don't know what, but they better be cool when I start my renovations in a month.
I'm happy at the moment. And I'm always happy to talk to followers.
Thanks for reading,

Happy you got your boots. Sounds like your adventure is moving along nicely. I found that starting with wedges made stiletto's alot easier later on. Have even ventured out a bit in wedges with longer pants on since it looks more like a normal shoe. Thanks for the updates. They encourage me to push myself to be me too.
ReplyDeleteMarisol, thank you for the advice, I will try for some wedges. More importantly, thank you for commenting- it always makes me smile:)
