I'm not a girly girl. I'm not to fussed if more than one hair is out of place. I don't burst into flames if someone sees me without make-up on. My world doesn' come crumbling to a horrible end if my outfit doesn't exactly match. All these things just don't bother me. I like to look nice, and I like to feel good, I just don't put a great importance on these things. I have friends who spend hours in the mirror making themselves look good by caking make-up on, and doing their hair. To be honest, there isn't a huge difference to when they started. That isn't the point though, because it makes them feel confident, and that's what's important. It's just not for me though.
I do have one weakness though. Something that everyone who knows me is aware of, something I just can't hide. It's my kryptonite. I just can't pass up a cute pair of shoes. I love all kinds of shoes. Oh, how I love them! Walking past a shoe shop for me is almost physically impossible, I feel like I will be missing out on the most wonderful pair of shoes. I just have to go in and have a look, and then of course I usually end up buying something. Usually a ridiculous pair of shoes. The kind that look heavenly, and make you drool, but upon wearing them, after ten minutes it feels like you are walking through flames. They seem to be the kind of shoes I am most attracted to. It's like I have two parts of me. One telling me to be sensible, that I have enough shoes, and however ridiculously cute these shoes are, they are just that, ridiculous. Then I have my evil side pushing me on. Telling me one more pair won't hurt, that I will soon become used to them, and my Mums favourite words as we were growing up, "You have to suffer to be beautiful". That side wins more often than not.
I have it in my head that a nice pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. That you can look beautiful, hair done nicely, gorgeous outfit, but bad shoes, that's it game over! I seem to live in a world where everyone walks about looking at the floor, and checking out peoples feet. Well that is what I do! When I first meet anyone, the first thing I do is check out their shoes! I don't know why.....as it tells me absolutely nothing insightful about the person, but I just can't help it. I have days where I look like a complete horror. My hair is all over the place, I'm wearing the first things I could lay my hands on...you get the awful picture. I always have nice shoes on though! My toenails are always painted, and looking lovely, and my shoes look fab! At least I make an effort somewhere huh! Even if it is where not many people look!
Ever since I was a kid I have had this obsession with shoes. My Mum could take me shopping for anything, and still I would always find a pair of shoes that I wanted. A pair of shoes that once they were bought for me, were actually very difficult to get off me. Everytime I got a new pair of shoes, I used to go to bed in them on the first night......something I have grown out of now, I swear ( I just lay them next to me in the bed now, hehe)! I used to run about in my Mums and sisters shoes. Oh how I love shoes!
Maybe I have a foot fetish or something......
