Heya!
I just posted but I checked my reading list and bunny's post inspired me to talk about a little story I wanna tell from my teen years.
I keep thinking of this and thought it was hilarious.
It's about Jeffrey Campbell boots.
So, picture this:
I was like 13 or 14 years old and these kind of shoes were super popular on weheartit and tumblr.
I count them as Atsuzoko, although they are not really yknow.
Basically anything with a platform and super thick chunky heels were trendy.
BUT...
Me and my friend were living in a conservative small town.
The people in our school could not even spell fashion properly.
I regularly would draw attention with the clothes I would wear.
For example I had this super stylish leo cape from a local shop and my classmates would mock it and say I am wearing a carpet on my shoulders xD
So me and my best friend (she moved away and we lost contact) were super excited to get some.
I think, she got real Campbells?
I could not, because my parents would not allow it.
I found chunky sneaker boots in white at H&M which they got for me.
It wasn't really the look I would have loved but it was better than nothing and teen-me was super excited to wear these boots.
So one evening me and friend were talking about wearing these boots to school next day.
We both knew, that would be insane but it was tempting.
Also, both of us were insecure about wether the other dares to go..
Imagine you take all your courage to wear it, and your friend doesn't..
However, I did it and wore it to school.
AND I WAS SO EXCITED THAT MY FRIEND WORE THEM TOO.
Both of us were literally the giants among all those tiny students HAHA.
The whole day I experienced how it would feel if you are tall lmao.
I only saw a bunch of heads walking below me xD
Everyone...absolutely everyone stared and mocked us.
I am going to be honest with you, neither of us wore them again.
Our feet hurt so much after that day and it was so out of our comfort zones.
Still, it was an amazing day, both of us remembered.
It was also super nice and an act of trust, not to let the other one hang.
I think moments like that just strengthened our friendship back in the day.
I literally had the biggest smile writing this..those are precious memories from me.
