Secret Confession DeJure

[pasithea]

I am a shoe whore.

I was down to only 3 or 4 pairs that I'm wearing lately 'n' that's just not enough. Stacey surprised me this evening by offering to go with me to Ross. (This never happens, she HATES clothes shopping) I dunno. Wild urge. I went straight to the back 'n' hit the shoes. Yay! I scored like mad! FIVE new pairs! *^_^* Can't beat 6 to 10 dollar range 'n' we're talkin' like Sketchers here (which is one of my favourite brands. :)

I got 2 pairs of Sketchers retros (the red and blue shoes) a new brand I never tried before 'Roxy' (The pink ones) 'n' some clogs 'n' some cut-awayish type pumps. The retros were especially awsome because they came with two colours of laces... Being the proper child of the 80's that I am, I remembered how to double-lace in different patterns. I feel SO Punky Brewster! :D

Being tha exhibitionist slut that I am, I took photos! I'm always taking photos of my upper bits, so here's some of my lower bits! :D (Lower than that, you perverts!!!!)

	Tomato and beige retro Sketchers! These are probably my new favourite shoes. Really light 'n' comy and 80's 'n' school colours for my middle school, making them feel more than a little cheerleaderish and making me wanna go YAY and bounce around like a looney.
	Pink! ... Okay I admit this. I like pink. I don't wear a lot of pink tho. Just little splashes here and there. These are nice and moted and match that whole tee-shirt and jeans look but have a nice summery feel to them. I'll probably wear them a lot for the next month or so 'n' then not so much until spring.
	Bloo! These make me wanna exercise. Eeeg! These shoes are evil. They say to me, 'Let's go jogging!' I ultra 80's-afied the laces with a pattern that it took me an hour to weave and taxed my memories about highschool.
	Comfy, cloggy. These are gonna be good going into fall. They're real actual leather too. A surprise among the vinyl and tennis shoes. I didn't think I'd like em on the shelf cause they have a box toe and that always reminds me of Norman Bates for some reason, but they looked much bettah onna feet. Stacey picked these out.
	Classy or trashy? The court is still out on this one. I have fewer pumps than any other type of shoe. I guess I just don't dress up much. found a real cool gothy slip (seen here) that will probably eventually get worked into an outfit with these. Need darker stockings and somethin ta go over the slip first tho. ;)

All in all, major yay! I got some tops too but they're pretty mundane so I won't be a total dork and post those too. :)

Hey, I found the pink ones! ^-^ I know you woulda found 'em, but you wouldn't have gotten them if I hadn't said so.

I know I'm a bit of a downer when shopping, but... We always choose Sunday or when I'm hungry or something to clothes-shop, and it's usually very depressing. Like, where am I going to find size 13 women's? Or 32 inseam size 10? It's not as bad as when I was a size six, and literally nothing was long enough...

But there wasn't a single pair of Long jeans or slacks in the whole store, and none of the shoes woulda fit, so... I get down. I try to entertain you, and you're so picky about shoes sometimes!

J.C. Penny's online store usually has a decent selection of long stuff.
I keep my eyes open there for a tahitian friend. Thems TALL folk.

There's a reason why 'near a JCP' was a criteria for finding an apartment.

But lately, they've not been so good at the stores as the catolog. And they discontinued the underwear I was buying... Grr. And shoes... Never does anyone have reasonable shoes.
