Jkrenzer Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I exchanged a few pair, brought home, and brought my white spring forward stilettos in to work. These have seen a lot of miles and I finally installed steel heel tips on them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 No picture today, but yesterday I wore my blue faux suede Impo (almost) knee boots. I stop by the division office to check on my medical leave request, The first comment I got was "I'll been looking for boots like those." I explained they were years oldand I got the black pair too, but didn't get the red version. I was told "you should have got the red version too. The adminstrative assistant came around to see my heels and agreed that I should have gotten the red pair too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikesmike Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Cali: I can believe your co-workers would say that they believe you should have gotten the red boots. I get more compliments when I wear anything in red, boots or pumps. Mike 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I have two different red Jessica Simpson stiletto booties. But yes are suede and yesterday was a servere weather day with heavey rain and winds gusts above 80 mph. I wore my blue faux suede boots, wanted to satisfy my inner Elvis. A colleague came by while I was talking with another colleague and told me "don't you know, you don't wear suede in the rain." I laughed and told her they were fake suede. I get so many comments in these, I also have the black, that I should have also bought the red. Besides they were cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shyheels Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It always astonishes me that St Patrick’s Day is so much bigger a deal in the US than it is in our side of the pond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not sure why, but Irish is one of the largest ancestry grouo in U.S. only behind German and African. 35.5 million, 10% of the population. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 There’s a pretty hefty percentage here too as you might imagine, but it’s not that big a deal here at all - and what little there is seems mostly imported from the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikesmike Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 JKrenzer: You leave a portion of your high heel shoes at work? What breviary. Don't you ever worrie that someone there will steal your shoes. Post scrip--I would steal them. Exception - If they had 5" heels. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into any 'Irish' bar in England today and you will find the Guinness flowing very freely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 And as with any “Irish” bar, you’ll find it crammed with tourists hardly any of whom will be genuinely Irish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always figured it was because we have hardly any national holidays in the U.S., so we adopt random ones as an excuse to consume alcohol to excess. Next up is Cinco de Mayo.
