Everyone's shoes tell a story: Dress shoe edition

In This Article:

Yes, I am back with the shoe stories. This time I'm going to shift my focus onto dress shoes. I am a sneaker person myself but I have a lot of dress shoes as well. I just have too many pairs of shoes.

Anyways, let's dive into the article.

The "No my ankles are fine" look.

I think girls will relate to this more (actually I think to all of these) however, this situation I have been in often. I usually don't wear high heels but when I do, I sometimes shoot my shot a little too high and end up hurting my ankles quite a lot. Nevertheless, I give myself the confidence that I can wear them and then an hour later I am taking them off in agony.

The story these tell is: I can walk. I can walk. Yeah, see I can walk I promise. Oh? Stairs? No No! I can totally go up the stairs.

The "These are nice..." look

This goes hand in hand with the sneakers and how you really don't know a shoe looks bad until you wear it for a while and you realize it's absolutely awful. This happened to me my Junior year homecoming when the shoes I bought looked so bad with my dress that I decided to ditch them and wear the shoes I am supposed to wear for choir. (Aso nothing against the shoes in the picture that's what came up when I typed ugly high heels)

The story these tell is: It was last minute, I wasn't thinking but here I am not knowing what else to do. Maybe I could sell them?

The "These are my occasion shoes only" look.

You wear these shoes only on occasions such as birthdays or dinners. I personally have a pair of fancy shoes dedicated to this. I was so sad when these shoes stopped fitting me but I still have them and have not given them away. I just can't bear the thought.

The story these shoes tell is: I am here for only purpose: to flaunt my shoes.

The "I don't wear heels" look.

I've said this sentence many times to my mom while out buying shoes. Sometimes, you just don't feel like wearing high heels and I personally think that's great. I have a lot of cute flats and dress shoes that I tie up like sneakers and they are my favorite thing to wear when I just don't feel like making my ankles suffer.

The story these tell is: Beauty isn't pain. I can be comfy and classy without wearing heels. Let me live my life.

The "I can suffer just this once" look.

This usually happens to me when I have to wear a pair of shoes that aren't comfy, nor do they fit well. I usually suffer for the occasion and after, don't wear a pair of heels for another six months. I can guarantee that a lot of women out there relate to this. Sometimes, the shoe is just too good to pass up even if it doesn't fit.

The story these tell is: I am only here for this one night and this one night only so you better notice how much effort I put into wearing these.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
