Sunday, I helped my friend move out of her apartment.
3 Pick up trucks, 10 people, and a box of Krispy Kremes later we completed the move in one trip and decided to celebrate with lunch at a local watering hole.
The bar was only about 11 blocks away and it was 75 degrees outside so I suggested walking but half of the crew wanted to drive...so I jokingly started running.
I began to slow down when my competitive friend (the same one who holds "bar olympics" every weekend) started running too...and since neither of us wanted to lose to the other...we ran all 11 blocks.
She was wearing shorts and running shoes...so she didn't look that odd except for holding a purse.
I was wearing jeans, Vans slip on shoes, a zip up hoodie, and holding a purse...so I looked like I was running FROM something rather than TO something...or like I just stole the purse from an old lady.
Needless to say the Vans slip-ons and concrete mix left me with a horrible case of shin splints (ones that I am still feeling two days later...but I won the race! And winning is awesome.)
Now for part II...
I have one comfortable pair of work heels...they're my Aldo mary janes, and since Aldo has a tendency to overcharge for crap quality shoes, I shouldn't have been surprised when the black on the heel started chipping off to reveal a beige cardboard.
Classy.
I woke up today and my shins still feel like they were subjected to torture (aka running on concrete to a bar while wearing non running shoes) I decided to wear the mary janes...but I needed a way to make them look like new again...and voila...a sharpie!
I spent several minutes this morning coloring in the heels with a black sharpie.
Later I will put on a tube top and Lucite pumps, jump in the pick up and go shopping at Wal-Mart.
Sharpie- a poor girl's shoe polish.
