Super High Platform = Confused

So, this past weekend, with Rob out of town in Las Vegas at a work seminar, I had 3 solo days starting at 10am Saturday, when I dumped him off at Sea-Tac. Whew!  Saturday, I enjoyed a down day at home - cleaning, tidying up, throwing crap out, and then rented Sex and the City 2.  Perfect day! (Not sure on SATC2, but really loved the fashions and shoes of course.  OHH, and Carrie and Big's apartment was awesome!).

Sunday, after a run to Target, I decide to hit the mall and start some fall shopping.  The only thing I bought was a new down puffy vest at Eddie Bauer that I LOOOOOVEEE...  I could sleep in it! But I did look at everything - shoes/handbags at Nordies, the INC section at Macy's, a once-over at the GAP, Etc.. Etc...  But on my way out, I happen to walk by that inexpensive shoe store, Bakers, and stopped to look at the window display.   Confused.
Am I getting old?  I mean, I am going to be 36 soon, which is certainly not old at all.  But this UBER-high platform pump shoe I do not get at all.  Who walks in this without breaking an ankle? (Did I just say that?)
Am I being a snob b/c it's not Louboutin?   I just don't get this style....  hmmm...

  1. I think it works on the right person and by that I mean someone who's working the street corner! ;) J/K! They're not too bad, but in all honesty, they're best to be worn only to a club/bar setting. I also think they're geared towards women in their late teens and early to mid twenties. I'm WAYYYY past this point. I will say, in Bakers defense, that they make good quality shoes for reasonable prices. I've had a pair that have lasted YEARS and they're just as comfy as any more expensive pair of heels I've owned.
