The Miss Elaine-ous Life

Then and Now

by

I think we get more brave as we get older.  More confident.  More secure in our own skin.  I know I have.

The other night I posted this photo on instagram and twitter.

I’m wearing that “cramazing” (crazy & amazing make one word!) shoe and its mate to a shindig this weekend for Tim’s company. While perusing the vast shoe selection at the local department store I would have NEVER picked out these shoes.  But another woman was trying them on and going on and on about how they were actually comfortable and I saw how they made her legs look about 5 miles long and I said to myself, “What the heck!”

We ended up bonding over this shoe.  Me and a beautiful stranger.  And we both bought a pair.  United in shoes and I didn’t even get her name.  Such a shame.

Anyway, me and my hot shoes are gonna rock it on Saturday night, I guarantee it! 🙂
(That’s also code for” please pray that i do not trip and make a fool of myself in front of my husband’s new boss”. k, thanks.)

P.S. PLEASE visit me over at Jamie’s place, Chosen Chaos, where I have written a letter to my 18-year old self, who I am pretty sure would not have had the confidence to really wear these shoes… you know?

  1. You go girl!! I don’t have the confidence to wear those shoes, but I’m sure you will rock them. Pictures please! 😉

  3. I ssaw women/girls wearing shoes like that all over Vegas! Me, I stuck to cute flip flops- ha! In my world, we call those hooker heels : ). Go on with your bad self!!!

  5. Oh my God.

    I’m in love. That is sheer beauty.

    You know I’m all about heels and pretty bras. And I don’t mean together. Just heels. And pretty bras.

    And you are 100% right. The older I get, the wiser I feel, the more confident I feel and the more comfortable I feel in my skin.

    You put those babies on and you strut your stuff Saturday night!!

    =)

  14. Okay, when you wrote cramazing I read it like you had to CRAM your foot into the AMAZING shoe. HA! Funny. I think I like the crazy and amazing better. 😉
    Those shoes are SO HAWT!!!! I love them. You are gonna rock the hell outta ’em! Woot woot!
    Have fun at the shindig! 🙂

  15. I recently did something similar with some nude patent peep toes. It was totally not like me. Got a huge boost from it.

  17. Those shoes are gorgeous. They are in fact cramazing. I kind of want to steal them off your feet 🙂

    Hope you had a great time at the part-ay!

  18. Those are HOT! Love them. I agree that it is fabulous to become more confident as we grow older. You are going to totally rock those shoes.

    I’ve been MIA for awhile, but recently trying to get back into my reader. Had to come visit. Your kiddos are so big and your family looks happy and beautiful as always.
