Stilettos Aren't For Everyone.

I was in the mall this past weekend (not by choice, trust me) and while I was there I ended up behind a woman who was attempting to wear some stilettos. She was failing miserably though. The heel itself was definitely one of the skinniest I've seen while the height really wasn't that bad, probably only 3", which I believe isn't enough to even consider it a stiletto, but for arguments sake, we'll just say it was.

Here's the thing though, if you can't walk in them... don't wear them. Heck, don't even both buying them. I searched trying to find a pair to show you, but they're definitely a few seasons past (which there's nothing wrong with) because I couldn't find one.


Every time this girl took a step her foot and ankle would roll outward and she would wobble on her little bitty heel. If you're going to buy shoes like that, you need to own them when you walk in them and if you can't own them, then don't buy them.

It's just not pretty. At all. Trust me on this. Just because a shoe looks good on the rack, then looks pretty good on your foot, if you can't walk in it and rock it when you do, it's ugly. Just trust me on this.

Anxiety Triggers

You probably would never guess, but I'm not really a people person. I mean, I can be, but I prefer not to be. I'm a self-proclaimed loner. I'm not really good at making new friends, which is why I prefer to hold tight to the ones I do have. I'm quite introverted and need plenty of time alone to decompress from anything and everything. I've not good at parties with tons of people I don't know and when it does come to large groups of people I tend to anxious and make a face much like this..



So needless to say, I hate the mall.

No, really, I do. Even when it's not a holiday, there's just so many people everywhere. And the slow people always cut you off and then drag along and then randomly. Stop. Throwing you completely off guard and causing your stress level to sky rocket. Sometimes you try to move around them, but it's always difficult because you have other random people coming at you. There just seem to be no rules, it's like a free for all.

Or is that just me?

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here though. If all the people there weren't bad enough, then you have to deal with the people at the stands in the mall who try to stop you so they can put weird stuff on your nails, or sell you a new cell phone when your's already works just fine, or they want to curl your hair with some straightener that they claim is a miracle. Well, quite frankly, it's not because the only thing coming from their stand is not a miracle, but rather the smell of burnt hair and those people letting them touch their hair are just crazy. You're not touching my hair, oh, no, you're not.

Now I understand why people go postal and why I need to get all my shopping done in February next year.
