Other than the obscene amount of extra poundage I've currently got taking up residence on my body (#weightwatchersdropout), the reason I've felt like a fat, frumpy freak is because I've been forced to flaunt these flats all week thanks to my little
ankle injury courtesy of my buddy Bourbon Street.
I don't do flats. I wear flips. I didn't even own flats until I realized on Sunday that I couldn't go to work in flip-flops and had to hobble out to Target to by those flats above. High heels were obviously out of the question. And kitten heels are against my religion.
I read a quote in Cosmo once by my celebrity doppelgänger Lauren Conrad that said it best:
Couldn't have said it better myself Lauren. So I'm stuck with these flats until my ankle recovers. Don't get me wrong, I totally think flats are super adorbs on the right body type and in an appropriate setting/outfit:
They look so cutie. On me, though? I wish I could co-sign, but I just can't. I'm too short and stumpy for flats, which is why they make me feel even larger in charger aka a fat, frumpy freak.
Anywho ....
I've got a dilemma. I'm sucking it up and wearing those black patent flats to work every day. Barf bag. However, Saturday we're throwing my friend Courtney a "Cupcakes & Cocktails" themed bridal shower. Sneak peak of the invites I designed by the way. You like?

I can't possibly wear those flats to the shower. I'll feel so un-Lindsey like and uncomf. I know I'll be wearing a dress, but I have to find suitable footwear first. What do y'all think of a shorter wedge or is this the kitten heel's cousin? I will not be caught dead in a mullet shoe.
It's not technically summer, although it still feels like it in Texas. So would a "dressy" sandal like this be inapropo?
I need your opinions stat. Am I totally missing any other flat alternatives for a whack ankle??
Sincerely,
Your gimpy & frumpy friend The Bargain Blonde
