For ever in low heels!

Yes!  My daughter really did wear these shoes at the weekend. Although I made the usual parental noises about broken ankles, there was a secret part of me that was actually quite impressed, not least because she’s clearly not influenced by the pitiful bleatings of her mother AND she can actually walk in them. Part of my awe is no doubt connected to the sad fact that I have large feet and until comparatively recently, the opportunity to purchase and wear anything other than flat, masculine styles was limited. Am I now too old to learn to walk in heels?

Handbags and Gladrags

Hearing the Stereophonics cover of Handbags and Gladrags this morning set me thinking. And it didn’t take long to conclude that I’ve been wired wrongly.(Shockingly, my colleagues agree!) I just don’t get the whole “girly” shoes and handbags thing. I’m not sure whether it’s out of laziness (Why does anyone want to empty the contents from one bag into another for a night out and then repeat the experience the following morning?) or just plain skinflintishness (You can only wear one pair of shoes at a time!)? But what ever the reason, it seems I’m just not normal. Sarah
