You might remember from this post that I was surprised on my birthday with a pair of Christian Louboutin
Rolando pumps. Since then, I’ve been debating
when and where to debut these beauties. After all, you can never have a “first
time” again, so it had to be special. I wanted it to be an event where it would
really stand out among the
crowd. After much debate, I decided the perfect occasion was my profession’s annual
conference. It is typically known as a conservative and professional gathering,
but why not spice it up with some unexpected red soles? When I slipped the
pumps on, I felt an instant burst of excitement and energy running from my toes
to the top of my head. It was official, I was ready to network, discuss
research ideas, and negotiate contracts. I was unstoppable. When I crossed my legs
during seminars there weren’t eyes in the room that didn’t gravitate towards
those red soles. Who can blame them? It’s definitely not a pair of shoes for
the shy at heart. And I definitely was not feeling shy. I was equipped with my
power suit and my Loubis. I was ready to stand out and use that confidence to
my advantage. In the end, it turned out to be a great conference with new
contacts and potential clients. Was it because of the Louboutins? Or my
confidence? Or a little bit of both? I guess I'll never know!
