Next week is Homecoming, and Chicky will be representing the girls’ soccer team.
Homecoming is a big deal around here…especially if you’re a girl. “Tradition” dictates that female candidates wear three different dresses…one to the in-school Homecoming production, one to the parade, and a third to the game itself.
Many of the girls borrow dresses, and Chicky was no exception. She borrowed two and will wear her prom dress (do you remember the blue beaded gown we had altered this past Spring?). But, Chicky needed new shoes.
The girl she borrowed the dresses from is an inch taller than Chicky, and apparently she wore heels with the dresses.
So, Chicky and I went shoe shopping.
Surprisingly, we got along during this shopping trip. We fight about almost everything on any given day, but Friday afternoon was different. Rooster later reminded me that the reason we got along was because we’re girls…we love shoes. “Duh” was his final commentary on the subject. heehee
She tried on a couple different pairs before settling on this one…
They are actually more pewter in color, and there is a thick strap that gets wound around the ankle.
Thank goodness for that strap. These are 4″ heels…ack! Chicky is not a high-heel kind of girl, so she is nervous, but the strap gives added support.
She needed that extra height to make the dresses fit properly.
Fortunately, she’ll only need to walk around at the school shin-dig. She’ll be riding in a convertible during the parade and will be able to give her tootsies a break.
For her prom dress, she’ll wear these flats…tres comfortable…
