At the risk of sounding incredibly conceited... this is a post devoted to my new shoes. Now, I haven't bought new shoes in honestly, an entire year. A year. As a member of the female species, that's just sick. But I have a date Wednesday night, and decided to splurge a little of my tax refund and get some new shoes. I found them at Payless for only $10 and got so much more than I bargained for.
After I got home, I proceeded to dance around the place in my plaid pajama shorts and heels, just for fun, you know, break them in. I checked myself out in the mirror and "woah, momma, look at those calves!" I've been running quite a bit over the past year and with my lack of shoe shopping... I guess I forgot to look at my legs. I have never felt comfortable with my body image, but those little heels brought an instant boost in my self-esteem, helping me see something to love about myself. Thank you, shoes. A little splurge, and a lot of hard work to get calves that bulge in the right spots...and a surprising boost in self-esteem.
ooh. maybe i should invest in some new heels too! right now i'm feeling like my calves aren't made to bulge at all. what is my problem?
