Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day Eleven

Today I wore my party shoes, I love my party shoes! Woot woot party shoes! I can seriously be on my feet for nine or ten hours in these shoes and still go! ATTENTION SHOE LOVERS: This shape is another one of those "it doesn't hurt that bad to wear this style of shoe" shoes! The height in the sole compensates for the height of the heel, woohoo! I love these shoes, I've had these shoes since high school. I bought them for a prom or formal, or some sort of dance, I wore a ROCKIN skin tight dress (that I still have actually- and it still fits- snap), anyway, they have been my go to shoes ever since. As you can see I have literally imprinted myself in these shoes I wear them so often, and the straps are a little bit frayed, but you know what, they are still hot, and I will wear them until they die. PS: When I saw Jacque today the first thing she said was, "Oh, you're wearing your party shoes!" One more yeah for the party shoes! Yeah! In other news: the wearing of cute outfits, the matching of jewlery, and the actual application of make-up is still happening! Yes! I also went to beach and put on a new pair of shoes, my favorite ;) In them I had a wonderful A-HA moment: I think one of the reasons I hate exercising so much is because workout shoes are hideous and usually white. And I HATE white shoes. I find them ugly and distracting. But then, I am pretty much prejudiced against the color white in any real dominance. I find the color blaring. Too boring,to pure, ugly, distracting. Blech. Ugly color!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Days Nine and Ten

Today's shoes: sassy pin up shoes in a lovely shade of cheetah (heel: 3") (rwar!) I love these shoes! They are old school, they are classy, they are just saucy enough, mixed in with a bit of flair (yeah obnoxious velvet bow!). Translation: these shoes are the shit! Plus! They are uber comfortable so you can stomp all over the city and go dancing and you'll be just fine!

Shoe lovers note: This shape of shoe is one the few shapes of high-heeled shoes that forms to your natural arch so you get the lower back support so your feet and your back don't hurt when you wear a shoe shaped like this. (I have a few myself. Two high heeled shoes, and a pair of boots.) You'll feel it when you put them on. Trust.

ps: I also have other shapes of shoes that are built with your body in mind that don't hurt, don't worry, I'll tell you when to look for a hurtless shoe shape!!

Yesterday's shoes: my favorite pair of Harley Davidson riding boots (oh yeah, I have more than one pair. A-oh!)

Can you Just LOOK at these boots! I die for these boots! The kick ass Harley symbol on the heel and the stitching of flames?! HELL YEAH! Of course I bought these boots. I HAD to have these boots!

Why I love Harley Davidson, and why it's okay for cute little me to sport motorcycle gear: I have pictures of me ranging from ages 1 to now of me on the back (or front) of my Dad's motorcycle or my Uncle's. My Dad and my Uncle have been riding since they were boys so bikes have always been around. They always took my sister and I on rides with them. Oh I remember the thrill of going around the block on the motorcycle when we kids! It was so exciting EVERY time, I mean we got PUMPED when we got to ride! And I always LOVE going on bike rides with my Dad, always have always will. It's so fun, and it's so nice to just spend time with him. And riding is my Dad's favorite thing. I mean it's his FAVORITE thing. So it's nice that he shares his joy with me, I really like that about our relationship. And even though my Dad has gone down recently. Twice. (And he was more upset about how busted the bike got rather than how busted up he got- OF COURSE. Men! Guh!) And even though we all know he could go down again, it's still my Dad's favorite. The day he got his first Harley was probably the happiest day of his life. (Excluding his most recent marriage and the births of my sister and I respectively of course. ::smirk::) Needless to say, he has the Harley Davidson emblem (with the eagle and ghost flames- it's pretty sick!) tattooed on his arm to prove how much he loves it and of course he has the matching sticker on his truck.

My Dad's first Harley was a Fat Boy. That is a damn good looking bike! Let me tell you! YOW! He now rides the not as cute Road King. (Sorry, MANLY. Not cute. MANLY. He hates it when I call his manly things cute like I hate that he INSISTS on wearing white socks with black shoes.) He likes it because he goes on the long runs now so he needs the comfort but I don't care I like the Fat Boy better. I've always been aesthetically minded.

Side note: He has to get them all softails bc our legs are short and it makes them lower, hehehehehehe

So, long story short: motorcycles are awesome and it's my Dad's favorite thing and I'll sport Harley gear if I want to!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day Eight

Today's shoes: well worn weapons ie: light pink snakeskin patterned stilettos (4" heel)

First, I would like everyone to ignore my messy desk, it's much cleaner now that I've organized it I just needed to get a good pic of my shoes! My favorite part of all my heels is usually the fact that they are all scarred, like these ones are, from driving a stick shift. I've been driving a stick shift my whole life and I love it! Unfortunately, that whole clutch/gas song and dance isn't the best for shoes- as you can see. I will argue that it gives the shoe more character and that most people don't even notice so it really doesn't matter. Not to mention that I find all the battle scars hilarious personally.

And how are the feet doing? well, I have a blister on the back of my left ankle- you know, that spot right above your heel that ALWAYS gets blisters. Yeah, right there. But other than that my feel are holding up like good little soldiers under the pressure. But will they last? Well goodness I hope so!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day 7

Today's shoes: white flats with pink and blue argyle skull pattern

This weekend has been about flats, because, I'm not gonna lie, five days of all heels all the time hurt my poor little footsies and they were a wee bit sore. Plus I've been running around LA and OC like a mad woman and I felt the need to do so in flats. I find it odd to wear my flats on the weekend because the weekend is when I usually wear my cute shoes.

But we have another whole week of cute shoes ahead and I have no idea what I'll wear tomorrow but I just did some laundry so I know it will be fabulous!

Week 1: success!

Week 2: bring it on!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Days 5 & 6

Day 5: Creepers (3 1/2")

Boy oh boy do these shoes remind me of my high school days :)

I have not worn these shoes in a LONG time, and I forgot how HEAVY they are! You get used to them pretty quickly but I was not as graceful as I usually am! I may have been stumbling around a little, but they are so awesome! I used to wear these shoes all the time in high school, and I LOVE them!! I also tend to wear them in the rain because I can just right walk over puddles in these monsters- which is mighty convenient let me tell you, especially as I hate the cold and the wet almost as much as I hate mornings; but despite the rain there were no large puddles to step over, so they were left to be merely fashionable rather than functionable. However, on the bright side, I did get a few compliments on them- and who doesn't love to hear about how cute your shoes are, I mean really. AAAhhh, I love my creepers, they are so awesome <3 I am so glad I wore them!

Day 6: Chucks (flats)

The best tennis shoe ever invented (and I'll probably own a pair until I die).

These are the only tennis shoes worth wearing in my opinion. High tops, low tops, black, red, green, doesn't matter- just buy these shoes, they are THE BEST. It doesn't feel like you're wearing shoes at all but they protect your feet from all necessary elements. Well, execpt water. We've all trudged through rain in soaked Chucks a time or two. Or maybe it's just a SoCal thing. But I bring my Chucks everywhere. I've walked through Italy, London, Amsterdam, San Francisco, and New York City in Chucks and I'll wear them loyally until I die in every city I visit.

As you can see, this particular pair (I think I've gone through about four pairs now and will need another pair soon- I'm going for high tops this time- I think I'm ready!) has been WORN. They say these boots are made for walkin, well these Chucks are made for walkin! I'd say 90% of the time when I have to wear shoes rather than my normal Rainbows/sandals I slip into my chucks. This particular pair has already done through the original laces and I had to replace them with the black ones you see here. Also, as you can see, these shoes have seen so much action the soles are ripping and the white is all scratched and yellow, but really, Chucks are meant to be dirty. It gives them character. They never look right when they're brand new to me for some reason.

If these shoes could tell stores... hehehe, good thing they can't!

Anyway, I've slipped into my internal Rock Girl the last couple of days, so it will be interesting as I make myself wear a different pair of shoes how I get out of it. Not to mention that week 1 is almost at an end, this challenge is coming along nicely so far I would say! Now, what shoes should I wear tomorrow?

Hmm....

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day Four

Today's shoes: boots with attitude! (heel, 4") Aaaahh, my first day of boots :) How I love boots, they are so awesome! You get all the sauciness of a high heel, the warmth of pants, AND ankle support, what's not to love? Plus you get to wear socks and that gives you some extra cushion against obnoxious shoe rubbing and the pain of heels. Apart from ridiculous stilettos I think boots may be my favorite footwear (Well, of footwear that is actually shoes anyway; my hippy heart loves bare feet and sandals, but if I have to wear shoes I want them to be HOT HOT HOT!!!). In other news, this whole actually look cute thing seems to be working. My boss once again demanded to see my shoes (and that's a lot coming from a man), one of my coworkers (female) told me I looked hot, and walking out of traffic court (why there are speed limits is beyond me. See previous blogs for my thoughts on traffic laws. I'll give you a hint: I think they're horse shit!) I even got an "Oh my." Granted this was from a delinquent and a pervert but hey, delinquents and perverts are people to! hahahahahaha, but hey, at least SOMEONE outside my daily life noticed I look good- maybe in the future some awesome hot guy will talk to me because I look awesome, and if not, at least I know my fabulousness is getting out there in the universe! I hope you can handle it universe, because I'm just getting started! Four days down and about forty five/fifty to go! Woohoo!

I LOVE SHOES!!!! This is so much fun it's gross!

I also love fashion, see today's outfit (once again built around my shoes- of course!):

Analysis: yowza! The skirt is about three inches too long for my short status, but it's all good because I don't feel like hemming it.

Who's ready for day five? Because I am!

Shoe Fetish Challenge: Day Three

Today's shoes: turquoise patterned wedges (3 3/4" heels)

Today was once again adorable wedges day! Hooray for adorable wedges! And my coworkers are starting to get stoked on my shoes- which is awesome! One of the guys told me he was "loving all the cool shoes" and my boss asked if I would still be wearing fun shoes when he got back from his trip :) When I told him about this challenge he asked how many shoes I had and about how long it would take- and I think I have about 52 pairs of shoes (ish) right now (mind you this is after I down-sized to move in with my ex- of course I've also bought a few pairs since then ;) so I guess on that score we're about even) so I would definitely still be rockin my shit when he gets back next week- and when he leaves again next month, haha. Of course he choked on how many pairs of shoes I have, but you know what? You can't put a price on how fashion makes you feel- and you know what? I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and bright!!! hehehehehehehe

Heels, cute outfits, and jewelery- woohoo! How do you not feel pretty with all that fab on I ask you? Plus heels help with posture and I've been rockin high heels so I actually feel tall! And I never feel tall because I am pequeno! Being 5'3" and feeling tall is always nice because it is SO RARE! But anyway, thus far this experiment is working out well (yes, three days in is a bit premature, sue me) I get to wear all my cute things! Why didn't I think of this before? Oh yeah... my enmity for mornings has gotten in the way, but I am persevering!

Exhibit A:

Analysis: casual cute! You can't tell but my white flower necklace matches the white flowers on my shoes, paired with pearl earrings and cute make-up- holla! Understated but cute.

Now here's a question I'm sure ladies will wonder: how are my feet holding up?.

Well, they're a bit sore, and have been rubbed a bit in places they aren't usually rubbed, so they have tender spots, but who cares! My shoes are fab and I'm willing to suffer! (At the moment- of course I have tennis shoes and flats as well, so I figure I'll work those in when the pain starts.)
