My Favorite Stilettos
What good is a shoe addict’s blog without random bouts of shoe worship? I, therefore, present to you my favorite stilettos:
These were a joint gift from Chrissa, Tin and Albert. They asked me what I wanted for my birthday two years ago, and I immediately said shoes. It’s almost an automatic response for me 
They agreed, so we went to the mall to hunt for the perfect pair.
I love these shoes, because they’re such a unique color—silver-brown with a nice, soft sheen. I’m also quite fond of the ribbon detailing, the peep toe and the little cutouts. They’re sexy without being over the top. And even though they’re stilettos, the heels aren’t so high that I can’t walk in them. I’m not saying they’re uber comfy, but at least they’re tolerable.
I bet you won’t be able to guess the strangest place in which I’ve worn these shoes… I actually wore them in an operating room. I went to the American Eye Center, the same place where I had my laser eye surgery, to have a sty removed. My dad, who drove me to the clinic, questioned my choice of footwear before we left the house:
Dad: That’s what you’re wearing to surgery?!
Me: Why not? If I have to walk around a public place with a bloody bandage over my eye, at least my feet will look good!
I had to wear paper booties over my shoes during the operation. It was a good thing the heels didn’t tear through the paper After the surgery, my dad and I met up with my mom at the supermarket and had dinner at a restaurant. People kept giving me weird looks. (They obviously hadn’t yet realized that stilettos were the perfect accessory to liven up post-surgery bandages.) It was a lot of fun! I love it when I baffle strangers with my eccentricities.

Well at least you made a fashion statement while having surgery. (:

Those are adorable shoes. What kind of girls would we be if we didn’t love shoes? For real.

Those are really hot shoes. I love the ones where they’re missing the sides, and have only the back heel and front toebit…(the word is escaping me at the moment!).

I must say that was a perfect choice for shoes. We love shoeeeeees!
I don’t think that’s eccentric. It’s just being a girl.

Now that’s walking with class!
*looks at my own feet* My poor feet.
Kimmie 02.08.07 #
Haha. That’s a funny story.

*pulls out knife* GIVE ME YOUR SHOES!
Ok, I’m just kidding. Right….
Anyway cute story!
Wish I had more shoes. *tightens grip around knife*

Lexie, unfortunately the other patients weren’t able to appreciate it since most of them were half-blind from various procedures at the time
Courtney, that’s true! In every girl there’s a shoe addict waiting to come out
Amanda, hmm… I can’t seem to remember the term either!
Constance, yay! Someone who understands
Shari, I was very lucky I didn’t fall flat on my face. One thing I realized because of that experience is that it’s a bit harder to walk in heels when you have one eye covered, hehe.
Kimmie, thanks! Glad to entertain!
Kat, you can’t have them! *clings to shoes and runs like hell*

I love your reasoning for wearing those shoes! I hope the surgery went alright.
I can never get enough of shoes. Whenever I go to a store, I always must look at the shoe department (though I never do buy them). Shoes are fun!

Rafia, I know what you mean! I just can’t seem to not look. My friends joke that I need horse blinders to keep me from getting distracted by shoe display windows.
