For most of my life I have felt invisible. I have never stood out at school, at work or at social events. I now realise that I am of an age where I am entering the 'invisible' years. The age when older women are often cast aside for new fresh faced female forms.
As a person who has always struggled to be seen and heard I know that these years are going to be even tougher for me , the quiet mouse who doesn't even register in most people's minds. I unobtrusively tip toe through life but I feel that is about to change.
When shopping for a pair of shoes for a function I am obligated to attend, I didn't choose the sensible, low heeled black classic that I would normally go for. I went for the shoes pictured above. Now I am sure to get noticed even if it means I grab attention by tripping up in them! I think it is time that I stopped hiding. Time I stopped apologising for being who I am. I like my new shoes. I can't walk in them. They are totally impractical but I WILL get NOTICED and just maybe even LISTENED to.

ReplyDeleteI know what it feels like to be overshadowed in life, I have only ever felt 'average'. I really like how honest and loyal you are Simone and enjoy reading your blog and receiving your comments, so you are now at last being heard. I think your shoes are great, I just wish I could get away with wearing them! x
ReplyDeleteWell your blog and those shoes caught my eye! Go you miss funky shoe.

Just a blogger passing through, when I saw your post and your FABULOUS shoes!! I have quite the weakness for shoes!! I tend to spend most of my days in little white canvas sneakers... but when I dress up, boy does it feel GOOD to be strutting in a pair like the precious purchase you just found!! Have fun in them!! We only live ONCE, so this is your chance to SHINE! (By the way,where can I get a pair of these?) (0;
