Day 41---Black Platform "GUESS" Heels




I am going to borrow some inspiration from one of my favorite poets for this posting: Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

How Do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee, my Black, Platform, Super High Guess Heels?
Let me count the ways:
I love thee because you are the perfect heel height. Absolutely perfect.
I love thee because you have a platform; this means that you are high, but not uncomfortable.
I love thee because I wore you while in Vegas for Britt's Bachelorette Party and basically had the craziest time EVER.
I love thee because you are seriously the PERFECT dancing shoes.
I love thee because you make my legs look long, lean, and amazing.
And above all, I love thee because you go with everything in my closet. I would wear you with sweats.
I love thee to the depth, and breadth, and height that my soul can reach.
Ahhh....I love thee.
---An original poem by me, Alison Elaine Davis

These shoes are pretty much the hottest shoes I own. I saved them for the end, because I really look forward to wearing them. I am starting to get nervous with the end of this challenge, because I only have 3 more pairs of heels left! And then I am stuck with all of my nasty flats (you know, they ARE a sickness after all!)

As I mentioned in my original poem, I wore these shoes on Brittany's bachelorette party in Vegas and ran wild throughout that city for three days. Insane. I wore my cocktail dress, and these shoes through security at the airport (not unusual in Vegas) with my friend Erica Cartozian. I tell this story because Erica is currently in the hospital giving birth to her first daughter, Mia! Yay! We are on "Mia WAtch 2011"!!! It is so crazy how much can change in about a year. A little over a year ago, we were running through the streets of Vegas and going through airport security in our clothes from the night before, and now the very girls (Brittany and Erica) I was wreaking havoc with are both 9 months pregnant with baby girls! Crazy! I am so excited to be an auntie. I vow that I will buy them their first pair of black platform heels---when they are old enough, of course! (Don't worry, Craig and Isaac!)

Here's to being sassy enough to rock a platform heel! BTW, you should try them---if you haven't already done so---they are life-changing! :)

P.S. Please bury me in these shoes. I plan on dancing through the Pearly Gates and I'm going to need my Dancing Shoes.
