Oxford for me?
Dear readers,
Please, don’t be fooled by the title… In this entry, I wish to talk about what my 29 crap-head wants. Yes, I’d love to enroll into Oxford but that would just be a wishful thinking, when actually, on the back of my mind all I could think of lately is shoes…shoes, shoes & lots of them. Whenever I walk into the elevator, I’d look down at peoples’ shoes. High-heels, loafers, wedges, stilettos…I don’t care how the shoes look like but I’d be wondering, sure these feet happy in those fancy shoes, huh? (Now, be careful if you’re around me cuz I’d be foot-fetish like) Those who know me, will smirk instantly because I’m very loyal when it comes to owning shoes. A pair could last me 3 years. Ask Anis and my sisters, they’d know. I’m a one-pair-shoes person. Once I’m comfy with my soles, they will be my feet soul mate…errr…literally.
It has been almost 3 months since I first entered the corporate world. I noticed that the officers wear pricey office-gears, not forgetting their rides, their gadgets and it bugged me big time how the hell they can afford all these with the statutory bodies paycheck? Hummm, they probably save-up eh? (Like the case with me & my LaPomme) Back to shoes; well the female officers and the GAs in my division, they probably have a shoe-shelf in their cars or even hidden under their desks cuz they seem to wear different kinds everyday, I repeat, everyday! (I got to notice this recently, after series of feet observation) Sure their feet are on cloud-9! Poor feet of mine…stuck in semi-worn-out Sembonia for 5 months now… and another pair to boot is my trustworthy Crocs (ohh I notice you poke a finger in your mouth there, I can see you!) Other than that, there’re 2 pairs of occasion shoes, which I had since 2 years ago? I call them my Raya shoes cuz that was the very reason I got them in the first place. Day-to-day basis it’d just be my boring working shoes (Sembonia) & comfy soles (Crocs). And that’s it.
As I’m currently blessed with extra kaching now that I makan gaji, I thought of getting proper shoes for my feet, for every occasion…not just for hari raya. I’d like to have corporate shoes, leisure shoes, sport shoes, entertainment shoes, sandals, wedges, boots and 7-days-different-kind of shoes, you name it, I want it…Heheh…
Now, this is when Oxford comes into the picture. I’ve been contemplating with the idea of owning a pair of Oxford booties. I have been eying on those since last year when I first laid my eyes on them in a fashion magazine (go figure…). I don’t know if my feet will be happy in them but I know they’d sure look hip! I browsed over the internet and blundered upon a few nice ones…
Not only Oxford booties that captured my eyes, I think nude-shoes are must-haves too. I’ve seen them on Jen Aniston’s, Beyonce’s and Paris’s pretty feet. I’ve seen Oxford booties in Robinson’s at the Gardens but nude-shoes are a rare find. Especially those that are able to house my Horton-like feet. I’ve been a loyal fan of Hush Puppies and Clarks (yawn…) but the ones they have in nude colours are simply yucky in design. However, here are some that I found on the net. Nice ain’t it? Will have faith that I could score a pair!
Well, I guess I’m going to hunt for these pairs first, give it a month trial and see whether I can dismiss my feet massage after wearing them. Have faith!
There’s so much a girl could ask for right? (’Girl’! Woman are you kidding me??) And I can’t stop at shoes. I want these babies too…
Hey you, makan gaji remember??
Till I kick you with my Oxford booties, XOXO—-@ Drew.
