In Training!

Exactly two weeks from right now, my daughter will be a married woman.  And I will be walking around in three and a half inch heels that I bought with such confidence last summer and now look at with trepidation.  At least I hope I will be walking in them.

Here's the problem.  I was so taken with these expensive, high heels which match my wedding outfit perfectly, that I went back to the store three times before I could justify to myself that I really did need to buy them. Finally, after spending a bundle on gas driving back and forth to the mall, I spent another bundle on the shoes which have sat in their box for months now, just waiting for the big day.  They really are cute (you can take a peek here). But they're also really high...at least for a flats-lover like me.



Nothing shouts "stylish" like
a pair of high-water sweats
 and heels!

 So with only two weeks to go till the wedding, I can no longer put off the inevitable.  It is time to go into training (queue the Rocky theme here)!  That's why I am sitting at my computer wearing my sweat pants and heels.  And so far, they feel great!  But I'm just a tiny bit apprehensive about how they'll feel when I actually stand up and start walking...assuming I can stand in them and walk.

I would just like to be able to walk up, and back down the aisle of the church with some class.  If I can keep my ankles from wobbling and the shoes on my feet for that short time, I'll be happy.  After that, it's all good because I've got Plan B which comes in the form of a pair of nice comfy flats I plan on slipping into on the way to the reception.

But who knows, maybe after two weeks of high heel training, I may discover that heels are the new me.  I may even get so good at walking in them that I can wear them if  I have to go job hunting in the near future.  But don't worry, I promise that the sweat pants won't be part of that ensemble!
