Day 30---Black Peep Toe Platform Heels

When I want to feel like "Jenny from The Block" I wear my hair in a French Braid and put on some Platform Heels. Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got :)




I must say that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE shoes that are random brands. You know, the ones you buy from like "Vision Shoes", "Price Shoes" (all my Downey Girls know what I'm talking about!), and even from Ross or Marshall's. Even more lovable are random brand shoes that are gifted to me from a friend whose feet they do not fit!

These shoes fit into both of those categories. They are some random brand ("Anna Michelle"????) and they were given to me by Stephanie Garrido because they did not fit quite right. Look at me now....super cute shoes which were....FREEEEE!!!!!!! LOVE IT! And I really like these shoes a lot. Admittedly they are NOT the MOST comfortable shoes that I have in my closet, but they are FAR from being the most UN-comfortable. Does that make sense? Unlike the only two pairs of shoes that I have posted thus far, I continuously wear these---despite their lack of being 100% comfortable. You know you ALL have "those shoes" in your closet. The ones that are just ever-so-slightly "off", but you continue to wear them because they are cute, dangit. :) That's these shoes for me.

I really like that they are Black and have a deceivingly "woven" platform heel (aka they are wood/plastic that are painted to look like they are made out of straw or something). Nevertheless, they are cute. These are a "power shoe". I am tall---but not too tall---when I wear them. I can walk comfortably, prowl about my classroom, run out to cheer practice in Bear Alley...let's just say that I am pretty much planning on achieving World Domination while wearing these shoes.

On a random note, I read in my Cosmo Magazine that while wearing very high heels was once considered to be a danger to women, we are now instead being encouraged to wear the highest of heels because they can be used as a weapon. I could not agree more Cosmo. Thank you for confirming the validity of my "heel height" obsession. I am only trying to be safe. Duh.

A special "shout out" to all of my random readers out there. Every day I have had at least one person---friends, long-lost friends, friends of friends, co-workers---tell me that they've been reading my BLOG. Random. But it is the kind of random-ness that I love. Not as much as I love Random Shoe Brands, like the ones I wore today, but loved all the same. Thank you for reading my ramblings. It means a lot to me.

And use a High Heel for protection. Cosmo says to do it.
