This is a pretty silly post, but then again I was in a pretty silly mood yesterday.
You see, I wore one of my new pairs of shoes. A really cute pair of shoes that Santa may or may not have picked up at the Oprah Payless sale last fall and then stashed away for Christmas. The shoes are black wedges with the sexiest ruffle and bow on the front of them. I’d been saving them for a special occasion or for when the weather warmed up a little bit – whichever came first. I had meetings today and while it wasn’t exactly what I’d call warm, the weather is supposed to get much more wintry later this week and next week. I thought I better grab my chance while I could.
So I did. I dressed up in my charcoal, pin-stripe dress pants, a black lace camisole, and my red dress shirt. I wore gold hoop earrings and a dangly gold necklace that jingled when I walked. My sexy new shoes were the perfect way to finish the outfit. I felt super girlie today…except when I walked across the marble entry and hallway at work whenever I traversed the building.
What’s the big deal, you ask? Well! Let me tell you – I don’t get dressed up that often. I wear sexy heels (as opposed to normal heels) even less often. When I do, I like to hear the feminine click, click, click of my heels shouting out to me: “You look great! You’re sexy! You are rocking that outfit!” I find it all very reaffirming. My sexy new shoes? The wedges apparently have rubber soles. Damn them. Perfect shoes for super-sexy sneakiness, but all day I had to keep telling myself how fantastically beautiful I looked instead of letting my perfect heels do all the work. Wow, did that get exhausting after awhile.
Le sigh.
Still, I managed to keep up with my sense of self, finished all of my projects, successfully navigated the hallways and broke in my new shoes. It’s a good thing I love them so much or I just might have to put them on a high shelf for emergency stealthiness situations only.
Happy Love Thursday, everyone! I hope you hear from someone today just how fabulous you are (even if you have to whisper it to yourselves).

Katie, that is too funny! You are fabulous, you don’t need your heels to tell you! Happy Love Thursday!

Yes, folks – she really does have a shelf devoted to spy-appropriate attire…

Love the shoes. I am with you though – I like to hear the click, click, click.

Theres lots of clearance for your size right now since we’re trying to push the fall shoes out and get the new spring ones in. It’s also BOGO if you want to check for some clicky heels (there are some really cute Fioni shiny black open toe mid heels).
Also, you’d love my moto-boots. Theyre flat, very comfy, and VERY loud. Unfortunately school and work have stupid carpeting that muffles my intimidation.

No reason a spy can’t have sexy shoes… You can be a sidler that people are actually glad to see appear beside them.

I haven’t had a really comfortable pair of heels in…well, I can’t remember! I don’t rely on the clicking heels to remind me that I’m great. I use that old teacher stand-by of looking in the mirror each morning and repeating “Damn, I’m good!” three times! It usually works better if I’ve actually combed my hair and brushed my teeth first!

I’m FABULOUS! and so are you! Good for you…been a long time since I’ve felt really fab.

Cracking me up!
I never thought about how much the clicking adds to the sexiness, but you are right…I do enjoy the sound!
A spy shelf is a necessity in any girl’s closet! I mean, you just never know! Be prepared!
