oh shoes, glorious shoes
most friends know how a sexy pair of shoes makes me swoon. and how, when failing to find one that’s available in size 4 (yes, my feet are bird-tiny), it makes me tear up. so imagine my gratitude when the sales staffer from a swoon-worthy brand helped me by doing the reverse: look for size 4 pairs and try to see which pair i fall for.
first three pairs made me sadder. but the fourth, oh the fourth, made my heart beat so fast as if i were two minutes away from another tattoo session.
here it is, another pair that elevates my spirit (and tortures my back). thanks to my partner for this gift that breaks the wallet and her heart out of worry.
i end with this exchange from SATC. have a very fruitful and passion-heavy 2010!!
“Aidan: Don’t take this the wrong way, but this place could use a little work.
Carrie: I know, but I can’t afford it.
Aidan: You’ve got eight thousand bucks worth of shoes over there.
Carrie: I needed those!”
