Eye Level

“How tall is he?” I asked.

“About 5’8” or so” his sister said. (my height!)

No high heels for me tonight. Unless he is into glamazons, I better wear a kitten heel.

Ahh the saga of the high heel loving 5’8” single woman.

In preparation for the pseudo date, a last minute party thrown together so “The Man” and I could check each other out in a not too obvious way, I went through my shoes again and again. I have four black kitten heel shoes. After an absurd number of outfit variations I decided on the pair to wear!  – Talbots leather mules with subtle detail on edging. Not as edgy as I would like but no sense scaring him yet!

Is it my imagination or are men getting shorter? Or are our heels getting higher? Platforms are a part of so many shoes. These Chanel shoes blew me away. Check out the C’s in the heel. The platform makes my height challenged sisters happy.
Now this ankle purse business hmmm…..give me time I may “get it”.




Honestly I have too much junk that I “have” to take to a party to fit into that bitty purse. If I tried to get to it after one glass of anything I would fall over because I would be wearing heels – that is unless my date is 5’8”. I challenge anyone over 30 to get their keys, lipstick anything out of that bitty purse gracefully. If you want to sling your leg around - have at it honey!

Now back to the pseudo date!  When I met “The Man” he was 5’8” and lovely.
Southern vocab lesson: Lovely means cute and fun man.
