Shoe giveaway

One of the biggest mistakes a girl can make is to buy shoes that are too small. In the case of the pair on the right, it was wilful delusion and with the pair on the left, I was just not paying enough attention. Both were bought two to three years ago and both have been worn only once. I'd like to give them away if anyone would have them. So just let me know.

The thing is, I really love the pair on the left (size 39). It has me written all over it - well, that's why I bought it. But I was busy chit chatting with a friend while trying on the shoes and somehow, it didn't register in my head then that my toes were kind of cramped. I think I realised it when I tried it on again at home but I decided to continue deluding myself with the "it will stretch out" lie. Obviously, after I've worn them out that one time, resulting in my breaking out in cold sweat and limping after an hour or so, I was unable to exchange them.

Don't ask me why I had to lie to myself repeatedly when I could have simply gone to exchange them. It's one of the mysteries of life and I really, really do not know. I am still tremendously irritated with myself because I can so see myself still wearing that pair of shoes now, if only they were the right size. I can only say I am much more attentive when trying on shoes now, and I mental-slap myself when I attempt to start rationalising that half or one size smaller is no big deal.

(Although it still did happen to me one other time... Just once!)

As for the pair on the right (size 38), I bought it perhaps three years ago. It was on sale and one size too small. And I told myself that them being slip-ons, inclined and fabric make it all okay. So not.

It's not something I will ever buy now. I just can't see myself wearing something like that anymore. But they're still pretty cute and hopefully, they will rock somebody else's world.

Yup, that's it, so let me know.
