New shoes!!

I hope you all aren't getting tired of me obsessing over girly things. It's kinda what I do!

Anyhoo, I went a little bonkers last week ordering new shoes. 6 new pair, in fact. As I mentioned in the last post, I also bought a whole bunch of skirts and a new top last Sunday, with my ex-brother-in-law, Bill. It seems I've caught the shopping bug, and I've succumbed to it willingly and happily.

Oh, you want to see the new shoes? Well, I've only taken photos of 3 pair, the 3 I think are the cutest and girliest. So let's dive right in...

 

First, these lovely flats from Payless. They're called "Tully smoking flats" for whatever reason. I like them because they're flats and because they're super shiny (I'm such a sucker for shiny things!). They're super comfy and I don't think they look half bad on me.

Next up, a pair of basic ballet flats, also from Payless. These are a bit large on me, so I'll walk right out of them if I'm not careful. They are, however, very cute with their little buckles, so I'll keep them. I also bought a pair of dark purple / maroon ballet flats (not shown here), which fit much better, but I don't really have an outfit to wear them with, so I'll show photos of them another time.

Let's look at the last pair (my favorite out of the bunch)...

These are also from Payless. They're called "Trina block heeled sandals," and they're THE BOMB. The block heel makes it easy to walk in them, compared to the stilettos I was wearing last week. Super comfy and cute, I think they were a great buy.

The Trina's came in the mail a few days ago, and I had to run to the JC Penney store at the local mall to pick up the last 2 pair I bought last week (some awesome black booties and a pair of wedge sandals), so I slipped into a pair of Platino Cleancut 15 glossy pantyhose, one of the Lularoe Cassie skirts I bought last week, and my gorgeous new Trina's, hopped in the car and drove to the mall. 

Walking through JC Penney made me more nervous than I expected. I walked from the entrance to the checkout area, only to learn that the "online purchases" desk was on the opposite side of the store.

So I walked, in my heels, to the opposite end of the store. Everything was going really well. I even passed by a couple of women shopping for shoes. Neither said anything, so onward I strode.

Once at the pickup counter, I had no choice but to swallow my nervousness. After confirming my identity with the lady at the counter, she shuffled off to find my new shoes, leaving me standing at the counter. Not long after, two women showed up to pick up their online orders. There I stood, skirt, nylons & heels on display for all to see, trying to play it off like everything was normal. I think I did alright, so I went back to the car.

I intended to go to a local thrift store (I know, I know!) to look for a purse (I've been carrying a fanny pack around and it's just not filling the bill), but I chickened out at the last moment and drove home.

Interesting side note - driving in heels, especially in a 5-speed Saturn, is much more challenging than driving in work boots or sneakers. Keep that in mind, boys and girls.

So that's my crossdressing adventure for this morning. I hope you enjoyed reading about it!
