A very good friend phoned today, she was the first person I told about being trans & I hadn't had a good chat with her for a while.
As we were chatting the topic turned to shoes (as it always does with us) I told her i'd ordered a pair online & the conversation went like this:
Me: I've ordered a pair of shoes online from Deichmans
Her: I've got one of their stores in my town & went shopping the other day
Me: I was going to order some flat shoes for my trip to London next month but saw a pair I couldn't resist.
Her: Go on
Me: They're a black pair of wedges..
Her (jumping in halfway through my description) are they a sort of crushed velvet material?
Me: Yes, they've got 3 or 4 ridges over the top of the foot
Her: That's the pair I bought the other day!!
Me: OMG!!
Her: They're the comfiest pair of wedges i've ever bought, I wore them for the whole day & didn't have that craving to take them off as soon as I walked through the door.
I've always admired her fashion sense, her choice in shoes is always amazing & i'm chuffed that we both went for exactly the same pair whilst being at opposite ends of the country.
I'm even more made up that she said they are the comfiest wedges she's ever had, i've wanted a pair of wedges for forever!
