Analyze This
What does it say about me, that I have acquired these two pair of shoes in the past month:
The pumps came today. I had been coveting them for ages and finally broke down and got them. I was worried, when I put them on, because I wasn't sure I was ready for heels. Frankly, after the whole knee fiasco, I suspected I'd never wear heels again. But the stack heels are sturdy enough, I figured I could try it. So I went ahead and ordered them.
It took everything I had to be a grownup and not tackle the UPS guy on the sidewalk as he walked up to the house. Once inside, I ripped open the box and pulled them out. With huge amounts of trepidation, I pulled off my comfy fleece socks and put the shoes on.
And I stood. Tall and strong. Like a goddess. I am almost 6' tall and a fucking goddess in these shoes. I wore them to a show tonight (the cast was mostly female, they all went ape over my gorgeous shoes), and it took me forever to find an outfit to do them justice. Obviously, I need to do some more shopping. Just to have the clothes that work with the shoes. Especially since I also got them in black. (What? They were on sale.)
I haven't worn heels this high in quite some time. And I've never had a pair of designer shoes before (the pumps are by Michael Kors). But those new red round toed, stack heeled pumps say me just as surely as the Chuck T's. (Well, without actually saying my name.)

I have almost made me some new cons online too, but Sally somehow looks much better on the back of a shoe then Heather does.
Also the pumps are to freaking die for. I am so jealous. I want new pumps. Sigh, when does Christmas get here?

I don't know, I bet "Heather" would look pretty sweet on the back of a pair of custom Chuck T's...
And aren't those pumps AMAZING? You should see them in person. Emily Fred. was petting them.

I would pet them in person.

I have a strange urge to put my name in bright pink letters on all of my shoes now. Do you think that would be considered business casual? No? Damn.

I am telling you, baby, academia and the Arts. Wear what you want and feel free to be slightly eccentric. As long as you can back up what you say with fact and logic, a slightly kooky personality is more than welcome. In fact, it's saleable!
