Shoes in the City: My month in high heels

(or: the part where Rosa attempts to take action on tackling the new years resolutions)

So, to begin my attack on the new years, I have listed my resolutions here and now intend to set myself mini challenges for the coming months. Taking my resolutions one at a time, Ive decided to start with my wardrobe.

(p.s any ideas of challenges would be appreciated)

Looking around the internet Iv come across many cleve ladies dealing with their over flowing wardrobe or battling our current consumerist society such as: Esme and the laneway, The Vintage year, Already pretty, Blogher and My 50's year. The Ladies have all challenged themselves to not buy anything, not wear anything unthical, not to buy anythig until they have worn everythig they own, lots of inspirational ideas and all have kept up to date through their blogs!

(my shoes in Ireland...only half the collection)

However dealig with it in my own, Iv decided to battle my shoe addiction. I am a self confessed shoe addicts, I suffer from the affliction shared by Imelda Marcos, Carrie Bradshaw, and probably most women...

We are kow high heels are sexy. Men and women alike are drawn to them, some regard them as objects of bauty to be owned and looked at and dreamt but wheres as others see them as an everyday nesscesitie (the galmourai, the cherry blossom girl, this ladie...) My boyfriend loves me in them, I love me in them, so what is it holding me back from making the most of my buldging shoe-drobe?...

So like many women who own 30 pairs of shoes, I only really wear one pair regularly: as a meens to an end for the next 28 days I must:
-Eear high heels 5 days a week
-Wear every pair I own atleast onece
-I have the option to change pair for travleing if I am a) late b) its raining c)walking a ridiculous distace or d) the shoes are hurting me
- If it is option d I must change shoes for a diffrent/lower pair
- Kittens are allowed
-Heels must be worn at all times out of the house this includes supermarket!

.

Ok so Im doing this for lots of reasons. To force myslef to not waste money on things I dot wear, by wearig them. To become fully capable on a pair of heels. To feel like a tall girl. To see if I get treated diffrently. To loose the stigma I attach to wearing heels on a regular basis. To prove to my boyfriend spending money on shoes isnt a waste of money ("but look I wear them everyday!") To attempt to ruin my feet once and for all :-)
