so i was thinking about stuff today. i know, huge shocker there. i'm actually *thinking*. about shoes, specifically. any of you that have known me for some length of time know that i pretty much prefer boots. big, stompy ones. i never really considered anything smaller, or for that matter, heels. i was trying to figure out why this was, and i came to several conclusions:
1. i'm a tomboy, not very girly in the slightest. when i wore heels, i felt like those super jocky girls that, when put in feminine clothing, just looked like jock girls in skirts. does that make sense? like, i didnt think i was feminine enough to wear feminine things.
2. i felt that i was too heavy/fat for them. i dont understand this one, either. i know a lot of BBWs who wear heels all the time and look hot as hell.
3. only hot chicks wear heels. i was/am not one of them.
dont criticize me for my thoughts, here - i'm just laying it out for you. that's how i felt.
over the past few months i have noticed that i have almost completely shed the boots. the new rocks have laid dormant in my closet for years now - not that i'd even wear them anymore because they're so, like, 2002. i gotta say 'almost' completely because i still wear boots, but they have heels now. high heels. i have my docs, and the last time i really wore those was when i moved. and now, my regular favorite pair of shoes are my mary jane wedges. YES, MARY JANES. i never, ever thought i'd catch myself in a pair of manry janes, let alone *heeled* ones. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY KICK SOME ASS IN MARY JANES?
i have answered that question myself. my shoe wardrobe now consists of all heels now. i absolutely cannot wear flats now and do not. i dont know exactly when the preference change took place. assessing my reasons above, i can now rule out #2, which i think gave me the little nudge to explore this un-battied realm of fashion. it must have been a big, big factor because i still kinda believe in 1 and 3.
its weird how i am changing.
