My "Dorothy Complex"

All my life I have considered myself somewhat of a "tomboy." I have always eschewed frills in favor of denim, khaki, and a good pair of sneakers. Why is it then, that the sight of a pair of red patent leather pumps at a local shoe can make my heart seize?

I didn't buy them. I wouldn't wear them if I did. But I COVETED them. They were just so...CUTE...and SHINY! I have had a thing for shoes and purses my entire life and I've always struggled to reconcile it with my more practical and utilitarian side. I never seem to be able to do it, but I've learned to accept it. Just one of those little dichotomys of life. Enjoy it!
