Irishfella and I were in town yesterday, and I spied a sale on in a shoe shop. I have had the same pair of black knee high boots for almost 10 years and need some new ones, so I went in to look. There were only 3 pairs of black boots left in my size. One was a riding-style boot, one was a biker-style boot and one was…well, a boot a porn star would be happy to wear.
Black suede, platformed, 4" spike heeled stripper boots…and only 30euro (reduced from 100).
So, after trying on the other two (which didn’t fit and made my legs look seriously chunky) I tried the last one. It fit, like a glove, was comfy, easy to walk in and looked really good, in a slutty kind of way.
To clue you in about just how trashy these boots are, there was some sort of scuffle among the sales guys about who was going to get me the second boot of the pair from the stock room- they all obviously wanted to see what kind of a hussy would buy the F*ck-me boots.
Irishfella came back from his trip to the game shop, and said “Oh, those are nice-my treat”. So I bought them. My husband, you understand, thinks anything which makes my boobs or bum a focal point is a good thing. He actually thinks these boots are “sophisticated”.
Today I woke up and realised that I own the trashiest footwear ever and spend the majority of my life working in hospitals. These are not work appropriate and I’m never going to wear them!
Seriously, wear them out in public a couple of times with a really, really good-looking outfit. You’ll be amazed at how much your confidence skyrockets.
So I should feel better about the black wrap dress and purple camisole I bought to wear with them (from Penneys, 17euro total)?
If I could find the cable for the camera I’d post a pic.
I think that maybe I’ve been feeling a little restricted in what I wear now that I’m married. This is all me, irishfella wouldn’t care if I walked around in my underwear, but I’ve been feeling that I shouldn’t wear some of the stuff I do.
E cup boobs tend to look a bit trashy no matter what you wear, so I’ve always been a bit self-conscious about wearing anything too low/tight/short/slutty.
Yup. I’ve been married for three years, and I still wear vinyl corsets and bellydancer gear. Not to work, but out and about. Khadaji’s right- embrace your inner tramp!
Maybe it’s too early in the morning, but I hear a parrot voice saying
AWK! Who’s a slutty girl, then? AWK! Who’s a slutty girl, then? AWK!
If the boots make your husband happy, then wear them at home when you want to provoke his interest, if you know what I mean. They can still be quite useful! And fun. Not slutty boots, but husband-happy boots.
I don’t know the lad but I suspect–being a fellow member of the lesser half of the human race–that he wasn’t thinking of them in terms of business attire. I feel confident that your purchase will reveal itself to be well worth the asking price, and that furthermore said boots, when worn with the appropriate accoutrements will turn out to be a significant fulcrum in the desired resolution of household disagreements.
Oh, and I always thought Diana Rigg was quite sharp in her thigh-highs and form-hugging body suit. But then, I was 12 at the time. Oh, heck, I still think she’s the bomb.
Sooo- don’t wear them for wrok, and Do wear them for him. Say you’ll go for a night out and wear them (even “afterwards” nudge nudge) plus trashy lingerie and everything if he springs for a nice dinner, etc.
Wear them in the bedroom once or twice, too. Guys like that. Really. (Well, I do, and I’m a guy, so)
Heh, I was gonna say “Wear them to work anyways!” but then it occured to me that it might be a bad idea for the female staff of a hospital to wear attire (even footwear) designed to raise peoples blood pressures and pulses
I’ve got a friend who likes to wear high-heeled CFM boots. I tease her about it because she’s about 4 inches taller than most of the guys in our group anyways, so with the boots she tends to induce neck problems for any guys who actually try to look at her face during conversations.
Erm… not that I look at anything BUT her face during conversations. Even if she DOES have legs from here to El Paso.
not that we NEED more of the same opinion, but if you’re getting the business while wearing those boots, your dude is going to clamor for more slutboot appearances.
don’t you DARE have buyer’s remorse. embrace the inner slut! make the inner the outer!
…okay, feel free to tune me out riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight about now.
Never feel buyers remorse for shoes, if I suffered from this I’d surely have jumped off a bridge long before now. When you’ve aquired the nickname Imelda Marcos (like myself) then you just might have a problem.
Note// four inch heels hardly qualify as hooker boots in my mind (they’re practically sensible walking shoes), six or eight is another story.
It’s hard to find the perfect pair of boots! Especially knee-high ones, because they have that much more of your body that they have to fit correctly. Embrace the slutty boots!
(Says the girl with the spike-heeled, pointy toed boots, as well as 2 pairs of knee-high boots.)
I can’t believe that I’m the first person to ask for pictures of this instead of the boots.
But seriously, most husbands would like their wives to walk around in their underwear. In fact, it’s the fantasy that led many of us to marriage in the first place.
