On shoe- and key troubles


I think I have a million pairs of shoes. At least that's what it feels like. I have far more heels than I ever use, unfortunately, since I get self-conscious when I feel too tall. Why are most people so tiny? I have one pair of really gorgeous wedge heels that I love to death and wear all the time though. I saw them in a Topshop store during a sale, and even though I was pretty broke at the time it was one of those 'I need these shoes to live!'-moments and I've never regretted it. They're the hottest shoes I own.

I've been looking for a pair of flat shoes with a similar feel to them, that I can love as much as these babies, but it seems to be really frustratingly hard to come across. I don't get why. There are a million wedged sneakers out there now, and they tend to look pretty damn cool, but there are hardly any cool flat sneakers to come by. I spend way too much time scouring shoe sites looking for the perfect pair, and whenever I find anything that tickles my fancy at all, it's always something that costs several thousands of SEK, which just doesn't fly.


Why are...

...wedge heels...

...so damn cute?

Topshop really is shoe porn for me. They have so many amazing wedge heels that it just makes me want to own every pair. Heels are one of those things I like keeping around because they have an aesthetic value, even if I might not wear them out of fear of being mistaken for a giraffe and released back out into the savannah wild. I wouldn't do very well there. Not enough places to get bubble tea.

But yeah, shoes. Shoes do so much for an outfit. People with awesome outfits and bad shoes make me sad. They're the finishing touch on the artwork that is the dressed up you. They make or break you. No matter how amazing everything above your feet look - if you put on an ugly pair of sneakers, your outfit is going to suffer. It's pretty much ruined after that point.

I love this outfit, but I wish death to those shoes. Death. DEATH.
I just want a cool pair of sneakers that are compatible with my dreams of being cool like CL when I grow up. I mean, just look at her shoe collection. Shit, I want a shoe collection just like that! And it's so awesome to have a cool female fashion role model for those days when I feel like looking bad-ass but still looking like a girl. There's just no way you can go wrong with someone who looks like a female version of G-Dragon. There's just no going wrong with that.


These are kinda cute though.

...or maybe I should just get Topshop's Balenciaga knock-offs.

In totally unrelated news, I lost my keys after work and went instantly from a good mood to a terrible one. I start freaking out immediately, since the key to my locker (where I keep my work clothes) is there and it's the locker I share with Mafune. Crap. If my keys are irreversibly gone, I'd be able to get in the locker on Friday at the latest, but it just feels stupidly embarrassing to have to say that you've lost her key not a month after she gave it to you. Stupid brain. I'm probably most worried about having not dropped them at work, but rather on the subway or something equally careless, but Pony asked me how likely that really is. "If they're not at work tomorrow, you have my permission to be pissed off. Until then, just relax man." As if it's that easy.
