Red Shoes (and nails)!

So I did a post last week about some new shoes I bought (Lady in Red).  Yeah – they are kinda sexy.  And I am quite amazed at the comments I have been receiving about them from predominantly the male species.

Stilettos

There are certain words men typically don’t use, and one of them is “delicious“.  Well I can tell you I have heard this word to describe my shoes umpteen times in the last week.  Who knew shoes could be termed as delicious!  Or that men even looked at shoes.    (Not quite what I had in mind when I bought them.)

Anyway, I had to have my nails done and of course I thought I would play with the RED.  I usually stick with a traditional French manicure but I thought I’d be a little more daring this time.

Now I need to buy a new outfit to bring it all together…….

Lady in Red

I am not a shoe person.  My closet consists of about 6-8 pairs of boring every-day type shoes.  I have one or 2 favorites and I tend to wear these every day. And I hate to admit they are all BLACK.

Since I went out and bought my red-mini skirt (and a few more since then) and my stockings and suspenders (which I love by the way and find myself wearing them a few times a week), it has encouraged me to be a little more adventurous with shoes.  I love the way it all makes me feel.  I feel empowered as a woman and extremely sexy.

And of course let’s not forget the aim of annoying my sons – they hate it when I wear my new mini skirts and stockings.  This is not the mom they are used to.

So I have been looking out for shoes that scream SEXY!  And what better than a pair of RED STILETTO’s (or Red Hooker shoes as I call them).

I have been shopping and this is what I found:

The first pair I tried on.  Loved them but didn’t buy them.  Had second thoughts about it all.  Got home and regretted not buying them.  Then found these:
Liked them even more – especially with the ankle straps – resembling the shoes in my header on my blog.  But they didn’t have my size – these were slightly too small for me.
And eventually ended up buying these:
Now I just have to learn to walk in them without breaking my ankles!
