Living on stilts

I have to say, I'm not the best with heels. I only own one proper pair, a bright blue pair of heels which you may have noticed in one or two dress posts - but which I've only worn outside twice, both times tottering. But this week, I'm performing a small play with my friends and I have to wear heels. For a completely amateur performance, we're taking costumes very seriously...

So, every day this week I am having to spend a couple of hours on my feet, living on (what feel to me like) stilts. Of course I'll also be trying to remember what I'm supposed to be doing, and possibly act. But it all feels very hectic right now as well as painful. For weeks I have been - quite literally - rushed off my feet and I don't think I've had any proper (!) retail therapy for months. After all, Saturday didn't quite work out.

But I'm going to try to relax, rest my lovely feet and allow the world to zoom right past many feet below, for a couple more weeks. Then the holidays arrive and I have to take off the heels and knuckle down for some serious work. Who said holidays were time to relax?

So yeah: that's my excuse if posting isn't quite up to par this week. I'm just no Victoria Beckham.

  4. Yoiks. Learning to walk in heels while remembering lines and actually ACTING? That's some serious multi-tasking, lady.

  5. Ah yes walking in heels- I feel your pain. I actually decided to go for comfort vs. heels when I went out this weekend and was very put out that all the girls I passed had cute little heels that they walked so well in. So this weekend I'm sucking it up and wearing heels. I wish us both luck! :) My thoughts will be with you! Good luck in the play :)

  7. After awhile, you'll get better at walking in heels, but this certainly sounds like a trial-by-fire, pretty face! I hope you'll be careful and cautious with your steps until you feel comfortable.
