tight tweeds and secret needs

It’s headache buying a pair of flats. At least to me, since I live in high heels all the time, unless I’m barefooted.

So I dedicated one hour on Monday to hunt for a pair of flats. It’s quite an arduous task, worse than mastering a piece by Chopin, because. . I probably need Flats For Dummies.

Finally, after shortlisting a few pairs mentally, I walked into this new store known as Trois + Inch. I found a few really pretty pairs and finally decided on a brilliant flowered pair with the prettiest prints on the back of the sole. (It’s okay, I look at the backs of my soles)

Later on after my stomach lurching looking the Ridiculous shoes offered in Bebé– God, do I love Ridiculous WhamBamSlam shoes (okay, sometimes words fail to articulate I just grunt and warble)– I decided to get myself a pair of silver shoes. It’s like ZipMeUpFeet! As usual, I went off to Zara. I love their printed dresses. And got a bit busy in the changing room . .

So I’ve test-driven the silver heels already. Up and down a few steep slopes. Comfort level? 8.5/10. Lovely.

I never knew it was so difficult to decide what to pack. I.e. To Pack Light. That’s my main concern. It’s a bitch to lug around truckloads of stuff, esp when you’re considering snow which means coats. So I spent a bit of time drawing out mood boards for stuff to wear. I swear it sucks to plan what to wear, it’s the hardest thing in the world because I’m so used to just about throwing on anything. Before long it was time to leave for the day again. Got on my colorful culottes that I picked up at the jumble– I love culottes since you can sit like a gangster in them, and yet they;re still so flowy. Kinda like gaucho pants.

Colors seem to be the recurrent theme these days

Because sunny days mean bright colors. I totally dig the polka-dotted pumps with silver heels.

It has been raining insanely. Yesterday, it rained non-stop the sky seemed to be suffering from incontinence. I slept at 6am. It was still raining. When I awoke at 1030am, it was pouring even more. I was practically freezing to death. Which is a good excuse anyhows to bundle up

I never like how people like to say I reveal flesh– trust me, there are tons of people who walk around in poor excuses of microshorts when they have thunder thighs. I don’t do that. Anyhows, it’s not my job here on this site to be extremely mean and caustic the way I normally am, albeit peppered with a dose of tongue-in-cheek.

Or is it tongue-in-cheek peppered with a few shakes of satire. Both, say I.

Even though I was still cold because the winds blew bitterly. A nice, refreshing change from the inhumanly humid weather here, though.
