Stilettos. You wonder how those tiny sticks support your whole weight. Well, as I found out today, sometimes they don’t…

I’d lusted over these pair of heels for weeks. Sparkly silver, with a cute bow on the side, and at just the right height. All my friends had stilettos, and after all the gushing about how they make your legs look longer, more toned, and more glam, I couldn’t wait to buy my first pair! They were worth it too, after saving up for three weeks!

Tonight was out monthly girls’ night out today, and boy, what better occasion than this to show off my new shoes? After three weeks of saving up, these heels were gonna be a winner. Sure my feet started hurting after walking two minutes to the restaurant, but I sucked it up. After all, didn’t a wise woman once say “beauty is pain”? In fact, I was so happy just being able to strut my stuff that I didn’t think twice before I walked straight over a drain on the road. Bad idea. My shoe got stuck. And before I realised this (I blame my friend blabbering on about her diet), I kept trying to walk. Before I knew it, the heel had snapped off.  How embarrassing! I stood there on my one good heel, shocked. Then I snapped the heel off my other shoe… LOL! At least now I could walk for the rest of the night. My friends are never going to let me live down my klutziness, and I even have the broken shoes as a reminder. So girls, and guys, sometimes it’s cooler to just wear plain old flats. At least that way I’ll be different to my friends… and I won’t end up being a modern-day Cinderella again! LOL! xoxo
