My Love Affair With Heels

I just love my heels. I’ve written a few posts about that before if you wanted to check those out as well. As much as I love my Air Force Ones, I’m a short Mami at 5’3 (and a quarter..It counts!) inches tall and I love to wear my heels. My summer colección of high heeled shoes is sick and you will find maybe one pair of flat sandals. Everything is either closed toe or open toe high heels. Even my boots have heels.

Well about a week ago I was wearing one of my high heeled pair of boots (that were too big might I add) and I went to stand up after a meeting at work and my ankle just gave way. My shoe didn’t support my ankle and I certainly paid for it. I’m a bit of a klutz so I’ve hurt my ankle before but not this bad. It pains me but what really pains me the most is the wardrobe and shoes that I just can’t wear right now. I’m short and all of my pants are a bit lengthy including jeans because I like to wear my heels with jeans as well. I’m just being so impatient with my ankle but I’m trying to wait it out because spring is thisclose and I’d like to wear my cute shoes. There are so many cute pairs! I’m stuck wearing a really old pair of Air Force Ones that are high top so that I can use the ankle strap on my ankle.

Today I’m dressed nicely but you don’t want to see my feet. My old sneakers stand out like a sore thumb! My amigas online and offline have been telling me to just suck it up and buy a cute pair of flats so that I don’t look like an idiot until my ankle truly heels heals. Look at that I have heels on the brain! I know flats are the trend but I don’t jump on every single trend. I like this look on others but on myself I don’t think it looks like me. Flats are not me, I’m a stilettos girl. Flats to me are my Timbs or my Nikes. That is really all I wear and all I have in my closet.

Now I have to really break out of my mold, suck it up and go to the nearest Payless to buy myself my first pair of flats. Beause you know I’m not trying to pay too much for shoes I don’t even want to wear! I just got my Baby Phats and I have only worn them once. *cries* Send healing vibes and heeling vibes my way please!! I need to get into my heels ASAP I’m going through withdrawal! And if you see a pair of flats that you think are me please attach them to this post. Till next time right now I’m googling to see if I can find an article that helps me give my ankle a speedy recovery!

PS I ended up giving those too big boots to another friend of mine. You know I’m hard headed I will just wear them again even though they were the cause of all this pain. Ay Dios.
