Contemplating.



I get my paycheck tomorrow, and my sour mood is lingering so I may try some retail therapy. I know that's a crappy answer to problems, but I'll ignore that... Anyway, Urban Og offers free shipping on orders over $50, and there's a few pairs of sandals I may want in addition to these. I've loved these ever since I saw them months ago on Gojane, and I finally encountered them again.

The thing is, they're basically legitimate stripper heels except they're a little less tacky. I admire those who can wear such high heels without looking the least bit trashy (Taghrid is my favorite example). They're 5" inches, and the platform is a whopping 1.75", which means the difference is only about 3.25" which really isn't much. And I think I could try to wear them with socks, a la Alexa Chung:

to break them in and tone them down.

I can't decide if it's worth it or not. I think I dress a little more maturely than some sixteen year olds, but at the same time I'm thinking "I'm sixteen, I never do anything that cool, why bother?"

This is what bad moods do to me...

Edit: oh, and there's these:

Still a little undecided on color, if I want them at all. They're less intense looking, but the heel is 5" and the platform is 1.25" so I'm imagining they'd hurt more.

OH, AND QUESTION - does anyone have miraculous things for wearing heels from Dr. Scholl's or such? I'd be grateful to hear any suggestions.

  3. Those shoes are pretty cool. I like the first pair. But if you'll never get a chance to wear them, I don't know if you should buy them.

  4. I think you should go for them. There might not be any grips at the bottoms of the heels though.

  5. I think they're worth it :) who cares what others think, when you're 16, you need to dress how you feel or to be the person you are :)

  7. hey the shoes are nice, a little bold i'll admit
    i read that you feel like you don't dress for 16 but i see from this that you would like to
    i went trough a similar thing, i was alawys wearing sport outfits,they were confortable and i didn't trust in myself enough to wear somthing else
    and every time i tryed to wear something else, i felt weird
    you know what i did? i took it one step at the time
    i took one piece i never worn before and started wearing it and wearing it despide the weird feeling, and after a while the weird feeling went away :)
    anyway, in case i've bored you with my story, sorry for that
    and sorry for the mistakes (i'm not from USA)
    one other thing...could anyone tell me if urbanog.com is legit?
    thx
