High Heeled Training Diary #50

Wow. #50. People should feel free to e-mail me about celebratory gifts. And the one year anniversary of the diary *IS* coming up...
Monday wasn't a great day, I stayed home sick. So we'll just skip over it.

Tuesday!
And despite not having been able to fix up the five and a half inch stilettos, I wore them anyway. I was inspired, I guess. Eight hours only, but they held out well. I think I was retaining water that day. Swollen feet made for a better fit, for once. Go figure.

Wednesday, I had to wear the five inch black velvets. It just looked better with what I was wearing. Black flared trousers, a white blouse, and a soft grey blazer that really shows off my hips well. It looked better with the velvet finish of the shoes than it did with patent or leather.

Thursday was a triumphant day, as I picked up my boots from the repair shop! It was only five dollars for new tips! I just has the man add the hard, hockey puck rubber that is standard in repair shops. Hey, I am a girl on a budget! I wore the boots for quite some time that day, though I lost count at twelve hours.
Okay, they are only four inch heels, but they looked really good with my long black skirt. And I practically zoomed around work now that I have my beloved boots back. I was so thrilled that I wore them for the walk home. And the heel tips survived it all!

Friday I felt quite lazy. A quick trip to the doctor to find out about some blood tests (everything is good, but they can't tell me that over the phone for some reason). I wore boring shoes for this, and it was a casual day. But there was a quick walk to work as well, so flat shoes were a good way to go. Heels may be easy for me to wear, but not great when speed is required. I did wear my boots to go out that evening. Nothing spectacular, just some grocery shopping.

Saturday, a shopping day with my sister, and of course, the boots were the only thing to wear. They do go quite well with jeans. Maybe one day I'll have to get a picture taken.

One day.

Today being Sunday, I am feeling quite under motivated. I should be doing some tidying, but instead I am typing the diary. Well, there is something important there.

Now, I know that I will obsess about my boots now that I can wear them again, but I shuld mention, that I did wear them the day I first went to the car dealership to get my new car. Come to think of it, I wore those boots the first time Chris and I ever met, and went to lunch, and the first time I ever stayed with him for a weekend.

So those boots have been a part of many firsts. Maybe this is why I love them so much.

Now if I could just get a few pairs of boots with five inch heels, I would be set... and I wouldn't be talking quite so much about the four inch heeled ankle boots.

I think I'll wear my boots when I go out to get a Big Gulp later today. That should turn heads down at the 7-11.

And it took you how long to figure this out???
When they started putting lycra in denim, it changed everything. And boots...ahh boots. Well, what can I say that you haven't?

It didn't take me long to figure it out at all, but it was fun to post it now. Besides, I haven't been able to wear my boots for some time.

I can certainly see myself getting into ankle boots in a big way. They are easy for me to walk in, and I think for five and even six inch heels, they would appeal to me. Now to start saving. ;)

I realize that you are out to please YOU (and maybe the "main squeeze" as well) so I'm way off base here, but I was hoping you'd consider buying more JEANS as well as boots. If you buy cotton/lycra denim, they're not only comfortable, even when they are "skin tight", but they look (the English language doesn't posess a profound enough word for this) as well!

Have to agree with you on both accounts! Though, lycra in denim is a more recent relevation! You can get snug jeans without feeling like you're in a corset, you don't have to worry about ripping the butt/crotch area when bending down and (this is my favorite) they're wonderful for trying on boots in the store! The stretch makes them super-easy to roll up for putting on & zipping up knee boots. Probably nice for thigh boots too (though I haven't tried this yet).

Doubt this would be a very well accepted look on the street, but lycra-added jeans also roll up really easily. Rolling them up to the knee shows off knee boots really nicely (my wife thinks it looks great), though I haven't yet tried this outside yet.

Have you seen lycra jeans for guys yet? The only pair I have is a pair that was too big for my wife. We were going to return them, but I tried them and like them, so I kept them :-)

P.S. Anyone know how I can change that "comfy loafer" that appears w/ my posts to something more exciting?

Post more posts :) That thingy is actually your rank and symbolizes how many posts you made so far.

So, buy more jeans, huh? Specific jeans. Both pale blue and black?

And buy more boots.

It seems so easy.

I am sure that by summer, I'll be in a great position to do all of this, and post a few pictures. Seeing as how my jeans have now washed out to a nice colour of faded blue, I think it has potential.

I used to wear jeans all of the time, before I decided a whole bag of chips (crisps for you British folk) was a decent snack, and I started my current job.

The snack assumption was quite wrong.

I will do what I can.

Azralle ... I think the last word you might be looking for would be " SMOKIN".

Hey ... I wouldn't complain if my girl showed up in tight jeans.

So tight skirts aren't enough for you? Now I need tighter jeans?

That's it, I am sending that short, tight mini skirt back to Calgary. :P

Like, I hope you're taking me shopping soon, so you can show me exactly what it is I am supposed to wear.

Heehee
