Day 35---Metallic leather platform slings by Pour La Victoire. These are french heels that have a hidden platform and a wooden heel with an elastic sling. They are a work of art and a b**** to walk in!...but what are you going to do? If anyone knows a trick to keep the elastic to stay put while I'm walking let me know. I would be forever indebted to you.
These black ones are calling me....
Pour La Victoire Fairfax SKU: #7675106 So I said it...As soon as it came out of my mouth I knew it was too late. I had already put it out there and I couldn't take it back. Even by saying it I had my answer and by the look of horror on Seth's face I knew the answer and it wasn't going to be in my favor. But my curiosity got the better of me. I had to know!! I now know that if you have to ask your teenager if you are a cool parent the answer is automatically no and listing the reasons that you are as if you are running for class president is even a bigger no (I think I almost had him with me reminding him that I got voted "Best Dressed" in High School but I think that he was just humoring me). I don't know, maybe once you become a parent you become uncool by default? And maybe it's not really important to begin with. What is important is that my kids know that we've been there. We're not so old and stuffy that we don't understand what they're going through. My goodness, some days it seems like it was just yesterday! My hope is that my kids can feel safe to come to us and know that we are their biggest advocates, cheerleaders, encouragers and protectors. I'm sure it's great to be the cool parent that wears all the best fashions and listens to the current music and lets their kids do whatever they want, but if your kids don't trust you to be there for them when things get tough (and they will get tougher than you know) all those "cool" things don't matter.
