I'm Such a Girl

You know what I miss most right now? Someone to shop with. It's just no fun by myself.

But I make myself do it anyway. I kinda have to.

Right now I'm trying to prepare for cold weather. One thing I need are "real" shoes and boots.

Oh, I have my cowboy boots - but they have seen better days and need to be replaced. I also have a really gorgeous pair of black dress boots - except they have a 4" spindle heel. Yeah - not so practical in snow and ice. (not too mention I'm 6'6" in them!)

And I'm picky. I love strappy, open shoes. I have a ton. I like the classic designs. I do some trendy but those I don't spend a lot of money on cause they go out of style so fast.

So I'm looking for basic black pumps. Nothin'. Until yesterday. Oh my goodness. I found them. On sale. Classic black pumps in the style of the 40's with the round toe and lovely 3" spindle heel. They had my name all over them.

But I had no one to tell. I finally could contain myself no longer and just blurted out at work "I bought the most beautiful pair of black maryjane pumps today".

Silence. Yeah - the guys didn't get it.

But I did. The teasing started as soon as I walked in the door today. Even the VP gave me a rough time about my beautiful new shoes. (Don't know HOW he heard about it.) Everyone was made to tell me how lovely they were. Good thing it's tough to embarrass me. Sorta.

Damn.........I gotta find a shopping partner. This could get awkward. Imagine if I had bought new underware!!!!

I so hear you! It's horrible to go to work and have nobody to tell about your new shoes (cause with wearing a uniform to work that is about all I can accesorise with).

But I tell them anyway cause I just gotta tell someone.

Wish I could help you, girl, but I can't see you coming into C. J. Banks with me!

I wish I could help you, too...

only I'm pretty good with the two pairs of shoes I own now and won't need any until these have holes in them...

I told you I would be HAPPY to go shopping with you anytime. You have one of the best outlet malls very close to your house.
