monoceros blogsI succumbed. I bought some shoes. I skipped the reliable black and went for rose-colored footwear with kitten heels. Very decadent. The blue ones seemd nice too, but I wanted the pink ones.
I haven't had pink in my wardrobe for a long, long time. The story goes like this - when I was in kindergarten, there was a boy who went round collecting girlfriends, rather like the way you collect pencils. I was a rather curious kid, and wondered what all this girlfriend business was all about. I learned that he selected girls with nice shoes or nice bags or something along those lines. The girls had in their possession something that stood out against the plain white and blue uniforms. So I carried out a little experiment: I wore to school these pink shoes that my mom had bought me. Rather sweet-looking ones with bows on them. The experiment went too well. I became the new girl of the day, and I promptly freaked out. I went home crying to my brother who had his first real opportunity to play the protective older brother, a role which he has played for a great number of years. I never wore the shoes to school again, and have had an aversion to pink ever since then. Time has cured me of it, thankfully. The new shoes should arrive in a couple of days.

Posted by: a l at August 30, 2004 1:10 PMLooks like the response to the pink shoes is good; I'm looking forward to wearing them! =)
I do wish I could have more shoes in various colors! One thing I learned while studying in Italy - a pop of color on the shoes really does wonders for the general attire.
Karen, I hope YOU're still wearing your red shoes. =)
Posted by: V Heng at August 30, 2004 7:48 PMAnother pair of shoes? But they're so pretty = ) Don't remember those pink shoes nor you telling me about that incident.
Posted by: irene heng at August 31, 2004 9:22 AMDidn't tell you about the incident, Mom, because I think I persuaded you to let me wear those shoes to school for a different reason =) I couldn't very well tell you that they were for an experiment, could I? =) That's why I had to turn to Ke.
