If you are practicing your high heel wearing at home be prepared for some changes once you go out and about. Pavement and other surfaces will be very different from the smooth comfortable surfaces in your home.
And women carry things! Not just purses, but sweaters or jackets, small (or not so small) children, bags of groceries, you name it.
I was invited to a GNO of about 10 women (all the others are GGs) tonight and was asked to bring a dessert.
So there I was at my door, purse on my arm, jacket over my arm, cake in my hands, juggling keys to lock the front door and open the car doors while wearing a sequin top, skirt, and these:

Made it to the car and the cake made it to the party! (There was a block walk on the other end of the route too).
The party was great fun! The hostess had to divide us into two tables of five each in order to fit into her living room and dining room. Rather than let us sit with our usual friends, she had us draw a number as we walked in. I ended up at a table with her and three other women while my spouse ended up at the other table.
In between courses and chatter I was one of the women who helped clear up and serve dessert, so it was back on my feet with stacks of plates and platters of desserts.
Some of the conversation was about shopping (of course!) and the hostess mentioned how my best female friend still shops with me even though she has moved across the country and how we send pictures to each other of what we're looking at, what we're trying on, and so on.
I said that as a matter of fact I'd wanted to send her a picture of the top I was wearing tonight but that I hadn't had a chance to do it, so the lady on the other side of the table took this picture for me:

All in all, a wonderful, fun evening!
But make sure to practice, practice on those heels! You could end up carrying a cake!
Hugs,
Persephone.
