Dodgy shoe drama
If there's one thing that propels me right out my comfort zone, it's when my feet aren't comfortable. If there's anything that makes me far from the person I truly am, and that's a miserable one, it's when I'm 1) tired and 2) when my feet are in shoes that are uncomfortable in any way. Which sometimes sucks because I can't wear sexy glamourous shoes. Maybe that's why I'm a winter babe at heart...I love and crave boots. I feel so grounded, empowered and sexy in boots. I feel like the real deal - me. That's not always a good craving to have when it's summer.
I envy those women who can run around all day in sexy high heels, though I know I'll never be one of them. I'm 5'10, so perhaps I can get away with NOT wearing high heels. Sometimes when I do, I feel like a goddamn giant. If there's another thing that puts me right out of my comfort zone, it's corporate office wear. I fucking hate it and it is SO NOT ME. I'm such a creative soul that corporate clothing makes me feel like I'm wearing a straight-jacket instead.
I work in an office, but I can kind of get away with not just wearing black/grey suits etc, so long as I look "smart" I guess. If there is a look that is definitely NOT me, it's the black pencil skirt, pantyhose, high heels, shirt and business jacket look.
I'm definitely not a tomboy, but I also can't stand wearing frills of any kind either. Anything flowery or frilly I just cannot wear.
Sexy flat (or kitten heel) boots, and cool, edgy clothing with a good cut is when I feel at my most confident and my best. Especially when it's very simple and say a mix of red, black, silver or white. Meg White knows what I'm talkin' about. Or if I could channel anybody, it would probably be some random chick from the Warhol Factory (but not Edie).
I should really go through my closet soon and ebay off all the clothes AND SHOES I hardly ever wear.
The point of this post? I wore a pair of shoes I shouldn't have today, and my feet feel sore and blistered, which made me feel like a foreigner all day - like I had stepped two inches out of my own body - and which made me incredibly uncomfortable and miserable as a result.
No more dodgy shoes! I don't care if I look too dressed down for work anymore. Bring on more casual Friday's where jeans are the go :)
