One cannot help but feel grown up wearing high heeled shoes.  It’s like a rite of passage, when a girl steps into her first pair of four/five/SIX??-inch heels and begins teetering around, hoping not to fall/sprain an ankle/look absolutely ridiculous.  While I have worn heels in the past, I did not prefer them because I always felt so clumsy in them and have felt the pain associated with simply walking in them for extended periods of time.  But now…I’ll deal with the pain because they really do transform the way one looks (since when did my legs look like THAT??  O.O’ ).  I guess that means I’m a grown-up now.
