Magenta 4-plus-inch heels have Geo out of her comfort zone

The magenta 4-inch-plus-platform-heeled sandals I’m wearing for a fashion show Friday have me in a tizzy.

 

I’ve never owned pink, or even red, shoes; never worn heels higher than 2.5 inches. But I’m really digging these heels. They make my Puttin’ on the Glitz look for the SwedishAmerican cancer fundraiser at Giovanni’s. The little black dress I’m wearing from That Boutique is simply nice, but the shoes from the same store make the ensemble pop.

 

Guess I’m so stoked about wearing the heels because I’m pushing my comfort zone with the height and color. Reminds me in a small way of Mary E. Larson of Pecatonica, 86, who’ll next week act in her first play since high school. She’ll be featured in GO on Nov. 17.

 

Now, if I can make it safely across the catwalk and can find $69 I don’t think I should be spending elsewhere, I’m going to buy these heels. Even if I don’t wear them again for a few years, I don’t have to worry about my feet growing. I’ve been a 10 since high school.
