Today I went out for a fun shopping day with my mom and oldest sister, Hope. First we went to a cute little burger place that was actually featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" a while ago, and it's for sure one of my favorite burger diners. Not only is it an adorable diner, but the food is amazing. (You can see the Food Network video here.) Then we stopped at David's Bridal so Hope could try on a bridesmaid's dress for one of her best friend's wedding. The dress worked out great, so she was able to order it in the wedding theme color. After that we shopped around the mall for a while and then headed to Target. It was a wonderful day with my mommy and older sister. ♥
When we first left our house to go out for the day, Hope and my mom instantly scolded me for wearing heels...for both practical reasons and then for their own personal opinions. "Why do you have to wear those heels? We're just going shopping; a casual shopping date and you wear that." I know those sort of comments aren't truly meant to be hurtful, but it frustrates me. Sometimes I think people in general don't understand why some choose to wear something that's not "typical" or "normal". I wish I could just always wear whatever I wanted without other people, even my family, having a problem with it. I don't wear the clothes I do to please other people or make them feel comfortable. I wear what I want because I like it. (And for the record, I walked around in these heels for a good three hours with no discomfort to my feet. I can't believe how comfy the are!)
My mom quickly snapped these photos of me outside the mall, haha. Isn't my mommy the best? I sure think she is. ♥
