A very bad decision

I did a very stupid thing today.
I bought these ridiculously high heeled boots.

I sense you are not sufficiently appalled.
Here, lemme give you an establishing shot.
To show both the scale of these heels and the scale of my error.
Yeah.
You get it now, dontchya?
Who do I think I am??

In my defense, it was pouring all day, and I was feeling antsy and out of sorts. You might even say I was feeling low. So I mistook myself for some other girl and thought a little retail therapy would cheer me up, I actually forgot that I loathe shopping. But I've had it stuck in my head since I've gotten here that I am woefully under-supplied in the boot department.
Actually I am woefully under-supplied in the "girly shoe" department all together. Witness the current working collection of shoes that I wear.

Anywho - add to this scenario that it's summer and nobody is selling boots...and I guess we have the makings of a pretty predictable error in judgment.
So I bought the ridiculous boots. And insisted on wearing them tonight, in the pouring rain, as we made our way across town and back again to the apartment of a coupe lacrosse guys who invited us over for some homemade chili. Let's just say if it weren't for the aftereffects of the chili propelling me homeward, I may not have made it.
My feet feel like two wounded bunnies right now
Lucky for my little rabbits I showed an astounding amount of foresight while shopping today and I also bought these beauties. Everyone can breathe easy knowing the bunnies are resting comfortably and recuperating quite nicely at the present moment.
And in case anybody was feeling the need for scale on the slippers...here's a pic for you.
