Sorry, I'll be clear we're talking about shoes we like next time!

Your comments about shoe transference were great! It reminded me of the first pair of really expensive shoes that I bought, with a big heel (2" - huge for me at the time). I have always been self conscious about being tall, so I never wore heels. And I was a grad student, so poor. Then one day I was at Nordstroms, and the guy brought out these awesome shoes, and I tried them on . . . and suddenly I didn't give a s*** whether I was taller than everyone. I just loved those shoes so much. It was a real milestone for me in my self acceptance. I remember telling myself that plenty of people would love to be as tall as me. And everytime I wore those shoes, I just felt so stylish and sexy. Never too tall. Makes me smile remembering it. I still have them, but they're kind of falling apart now. I still wear them when I need a little "boost" so to speak.
