Every girl has a favorite pair of shoes. I'm talking about a pair of shoes that makes her feel like she can do anything, that somehow give her immediate confidence to conquer the world as soon as she slips them on. Its five inch stilettos to some, and a pink pair of Chucks to others. Whatever they are, these are the shoes that can make dreams come true. My tall, black riding boots are these shoes to me. They are flat, stylish, and comfortable. When I put them on I suddenly feel unstoppable. The older they get, the more I adore them.
Today I asked Dave to take some pics of me for my new website. I was a little nervous because like most photographers I hate to be in front of the camera, it feels so strange. I know Dave has a good eye, so I trusted he would do his best to make me look good. I was still hesitant about going through with the shoot.
I had a mini fashion show in front of my mirror trying on dress after dress, heal after heal. I love a cute dress as much as the next girl, but its not something I can wear everyday. My dresses are saved for special occasions and vacation. I always admire the girls who can get away with a cute dress and wedges as their everyday getup. I wanted to look professional and proper. Nothing was working, I felt like I was trying to be something I'm not. (not that I am not professional, just a little more casual Friday professional)
I wanted these pictures to represent my personality. After much deliberation and frustration I put on the clothes I feel most comfortable in. My black skinny jeans, my Jimi Hendrix tee, and my ass-kicking riding boots. I looked in the mirror and I felt like me. And while I stood in front of the camera those boots gave me the confidence to work it like a super model.
