It's Friday - Casual attire day. This means that in our office, we can wear black jeans and not get sent home for "inappropriate attire". So this morning, I get inspired to wear these black "oh so cute" 4" heel oxford shoes that have been sitting on the top shelf of my closet and haven't seen the light of day in oh, about, 6 months. They would be perfect with my fabulously cute ensemble (sorry - Paris Hilton moment), not to stuffy, yet not super casual and can transition right to happy hour after work. Viola! Multi-purpose at its finest.

In my flash of fashionable brilliance, I did not keep in mind that I would have to traipse through the office in these 4" contraptions that are laced so tight that it makes me wonder if men, by inventing high heels, were intent on driving women batty. In my inspired moment, I did not consider the fact that during my lunch hour, I would have to visit the bank 3 blocks down, as well as my daily StarHell (Starbucks) run. In my vanity moment, I did not think that I would have to run up and down stairs, both in the parking garage and also at the office. I will attribute all of the consequences of my actions of choosing the "oh so cute 4" heels" to either a lack of sleep, a Jessica Simpson moment, or that, due to my highlights, too much dye seeped into my head and is blinding me with cute shoe alerts.

While I'll be the first to tell you that, under normal circumstances, I run screaming from the idea of wearing flat shoes, right now I would gladly exchange my Oh So Cute shoes that I swear are fine pointed needles for a pair of ballet flats or, hell, even for my sneakers that only see the light of day when I want to run to the gym.

However, such is not the case, and at the end of the day I will stumble up the stairs to my apartment and put on my sneakers with a sigh of relief. Guaranteed, I will hear my roommate say "WHAT THE ****, you NEVER wear sneakers". And that my friends, will be my cue to put the Oh So Cute shoes back on the top shelf of my closet to collect dust until the next time I wish for some torturous pain.
