Luckily for me/my closet/my wallet, working a full time job has almost completely killed my want to wander around shoe stores for hours. It's partly because I am hella tired when I get home and I hate shopping on the weekend when everyone else is shopping (people are gross and need to let me shop in peace and stop bumping me. Okay - the bumping thing is more due to an anxiety driven need for personal space, but still. don't friggen bump me, bruh. I will have a panic attack at you.)
But if I'm being honest, it's because I only wear ~6 pairs of shoes on a regular basis. These select few pairs are my go to shoes for the following reasons:
- No matter how much I practice, I can't walk prettily in heels over 2 inches.
- I am prone to falling (a lot) and wobbly narrow heels that are not easy to walk in in the first place do not help the whole 'falling down the stairs in a parking garage in front of other humans' thing. Wedge heels are my friend.
- My office does not allow open toed shoes. Because toes are very sexy and distracting in the workplace. (as are shoulders apparently, but that's another matter. I don't want to get into male enforced dress codes for women because men are taught from a young age that it is a woman's job to hide the fact that she is a woman as much as possible lest she arouse the men around her and bring upon themselves any sexual advances/harassment caused by shoulders/toes/clavicles/etc. Whoopsie. I got into it.)
- I walk quite a bit at my job/have to use the stairs occasionally so anything more than a 2 inch heel is out of the question, comfort wise.
- These shoes go with basically everything I wear to work.
