How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Probably more than you actually wear. We all have the same problem. We get up, leave the house to do everything we need to do, and most days that's it. It's all just fine and good and without inconveniences. But some other days, something magical happens. We're walking down the street, pass a shoe shop, and we suddenly stand there, completely frozen: the most wonderful pair of shoes is there, staring at us and begging us to take them home. We're simply too weak: we enter the shop asking to try them on and silently begging that they have them in our size. There's no resisting the perfect pair of shoes.

It's not just about the shoes being pretty; it's about what they mean. Style, power, elegance. If you don't believe us, ask Carrie Bradshaw. How many times did we hear her yapping about her beloved Manolo Blahniks? We still don't know how she was able to afford them, but she had them, and they were her most precious possessions. We know that many of us will never be able to afford a pair of shoes like those, at least not on a minimum wage, but that doesn't mean we can't look fabulous. Besides, not because it has a huge logo up front does it mean it's a quality product. This is not our first rodeo, we can spot quality from miles away, and we know when something is worth our money and when it isn't.

Putting on our first pair of heels was a whole rite of passage. It meant we were no longer kids; we were becoming women. No more sneaking into our mom's closet to steal her shoes and play dress-up. We had our own now.

No matter whether we use or don't use heels on a regular basis now. At the time, it was important, and we can still dust them off to wear them for an elegant dinner or a work party. They might not always be comfortable, and we don't need to live in pain because of them. Still, some days they can give the extra touch of fabulous we need to feel amazing. And these memes will give us the extra touch of laughter for today!
