Day 1- "Red High Heels"

It was around 2010 when these crossed my computer screen and I "HAD TO HAVE THEM" all of the creative justification I could conjure was not going to make it logical for me to have more shoes. With no events coming up and realistically I could not even tell myself I was going to wear them to work because...well "who am I kidding?" I really needed to forget and them move on THEN I remembered this bit of gospel "every girl needs a pair of red high heels".  There it is, my justification, that combined with an exceptionally reasonable price along with the fact that they are animal friendly and I had more than enough justification to buy. It was time for me to have red high heels but of course no half sizes so ALL I could possibly do is buy half a size bigger and hope. They came in the mail, I tried them on and go figure, they are flop off the heel (like walk out of the shoe kind of too big). There are several problems with new flopping shoes, (that were ordered on line). First I hate to return things AND I don't like to go to the post office AND in this case if I return them I can't have another pair that does fit (because no half sizes) thereby the decision was made. Of course I can make them work.! I bought inserts and sticky things to put in the heal, not a great solution but currently I don't have a better one.  Still I ask what girl is not willing to suffer a little for a pretty pair of shoes, right?

Here we are one wear and three or four years later... they have become the day one subject of a "shoe experiment" because I am pretty sure that brilliant lady that said "every girl needs a pair of red high heels" did not mean for use as paperweights, attic filler or dust collectors. When I walked down from the attic wearing these for the second time (likely the husband had never seen them before) Mr. Husband looked at them and then me a bit funny. I explained that I was going to wear all of the shoes in the attic. He seemed mildly amused and that was the end of that, I was off to work. At the end of the day not only did I have all kinds of Dr. Scholl's products stuffed in them but paper towels too. They only get a comfort rating of 4 but some of that may be directly attributed to the fact that they don't fit, never the less they are lovely and despite the fact that I have a friend (they fit perfectly) who will happily take them off of my hands  I will be wearing them again.
