OK...wearing THESE little babies in the grocery store evidently paints a big ol' red bullseye somewhere on me (pick your favorite body region) as I found out today...
I wanted to break them in before I tried wearing them for any significant amount of time...and I've been wearing them around the house some- while doing laundry or just for 20 minute spurts so that I get my arches and toes used to it..... but time had come for some real world application...as these babies have 4" heels on them and it's been a LOOOONG time since I ran around in shoes like this for any reason.
Granted, I LOVE them and they've given a whole new attitude to my feeling much like I did in my late teens and early 20's....that I am indeed strong, confident, attractive and all those other wonderful confidence-boosting terms.. I'm just not USED to the attention anymore.
I've been married...and regrettably I'm finding I was more unhappily married than I realized....but still, I considered myself MARRIED and off limits and didn't pay attention to anything male other than the one I was married to....for a long time. Granted, maybe if I painted my butt orange and installed some timing chain and a turn signal he would have paid attention to me AFTER we got married...but you know- live and learn.
I have realized, both with these shoes, and my refined physique due to some serious effort on my part---that there's a whole lotta' attention out there I've been missing. So...between the 4" heels, the red dress I bought a few months ago (that I am still figuring on wearing soon) and the new car I just bought.....I'm figuring I need to get reaccustomed to a little attention now and then, which may be a very good thing given how long I've gone without it!
A big, fat thank you to the guy who followed me around the store tonight.....I'm not giving out my number...but it was nice to have you ask. :)
