Day Ten
Goodbye old friend
Since yesterday I have been counting down the hours till I could start wearing flats again. I will admit that after the first three or four days of the project I started to get use to the heels thinking the next few days might not be to bad but I spoke to soon. As of yesterday my feet started killing me again. I even parked as close as I could to the college today in order to minimize my walking as it felt like my shoes were slowly filling with blood.
Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, which came in the form of my front door I knew I would soon have relief when I am able to kick off these shoes on the other side. In doing so I saw that somewhere between yesterday and today my only pair of high heels had passed on.
RIP 2008 – 2013 (Just btw this image does not give their height any justice)
What were the designers thinking?
While having a look online at different types of heels I cant get over how ugly some fashions have become and I find myself wondering whether designers come up with these crazy fashions and then charge a whole lot of money for it just sit back and have a good laugh at the suckers who buy it, or are they out to kill anyone who attempts to walk in these ridiculously high shoes?

Funniest Runway Model Falls of All Time
This is a collection of models walking the runway and in most cases failing to walk in their high heels.
Walking
Being a public holiday my day started slow and relaxed and my boyfriend and I decided to quickly run an errand and go to the mall, this however became anything but quick as the mall was busy and I was slowed down by wearing the heels and these things frustrated him which in turn frustrated me.
Walking I quickly became extremely self aware of myself and found myself wondering how I must look to the sea of people bustling around me. Do I look as awkward as I feel? Am I standing out from the rest, as everyone else is dressed casual and comfy? Do I look like I’m trying to hard? Can people tell my boyfriend and I are frustrated at each other? What must I do with my hands? As he didn’t want to hold my hand anymore because I was taller than him it was suddenly uncomfortable and awkward, and then it suddenly became too much and I could not get myself out of that mall quick enough.
This got me wondering what the correct way of walking in heel is and started research as soon as I got home and kicked off my shoes. Apparently there are many tutorials, books, blogs and sites all to aid you in walking the correct way.
Apparently walking in with the wrong posture or bringing your foot down in the wrong way can put you in danger of seriously hurting yourself and I don’t mean by loosing your balance and falling, but that too.

Day Three
Yesterday I only wore a pair of high heels to college and walking through the city few people took notice.
Last night however I decided to purchase quite the push up bra and increased from a reasonable B to a D cup. This people could not miss today, just leaving my apartment I was already very aware of myself and walking through the city to college turned out to be a very daunting experience as I found myself constantly trying to cover myself up and try blend in.
I did however pick up that I was being noticed a lot more and usually I feel I could rage when walking in crowds because I always feel that I am the one who must give way to a sea of people but today I found men would go out of their way to give me way and this was absolutely wonderful. I sum this up to be due to not only the heels and incredible cleavage but I have also taken to wearing brighter clothing instead of my usual black, white or grey attire.
At college people took notice because of my height increase, but today they were noticing a whole lot more and even though since school I’ve had people comment on my breasts and cup size it has been nothing like today. Not only was I constantly aware of myself, I found other people were more aware of me as well and it was harder to blend in. It was strange to me that people I didn’t consider more that a mere acquaintance because of some similar classes were coming up and now starting conversations with me, a lot of those conversations consisting of my two new developments. I received quite the array of comments throughout the day but the popular ones were “Wow, where did those come from?!” and “those are amazing”, I even had a someone grab them while they were being discussed.
Overall this didn’t bother me much as within the college environment is kind of a safe zone and I found it not only interesting but also hilarious to see my peer’s reactions. Things I need to work on listening to some of the comments is that I should within the next few days try and own it more instead of covering myself up.
I also find it absolutely interesting the difference reactions heels, a normal B cup and D cup get me, at home, college or while out.
