Now that we have moved to the corporate office in Plano, the attire is formal everyday with the exception of casual Fridays. So far, I'm not complaining as I was in rags for the last five years at the boulder office. I welcomed the casual attire and attitude of people in Boulder when I first joined Ericsson 6 years back - I was escaping from New York City where I looked pretty under dressed even though I wore formal pants, shirts and decent pair of comfortable walking shoes. Now at the head quaters, I was in a different group and it was time to create a different perception of me in their eyes! It also meant changing my entire wardrobe - which girl doesn't like that ?? I won't call my wardrobe change complete as a women can never be content with the clothes she has ;) but I would say that it's satisfactory! Now all I need are some good pair of shoes! I'm not very greedy, just need a black and a dark blue pair of high heels that will look for work and at the same time are very stylish. I've gone to many stores - DFW, Calvin Klien factory outlet, Marshalls, even Target but cannot find that pair that catches my eye :( My shoes have to be high heeled but not stilleto heels as I don't want to injure my angle and I hate the kitten heel (minute version of stilleto) At the same time, I don't want wedges anymore as I already have a couple of them.. so choices are limited and so is the budget.. I don't want to go overboard and buy a $100 shoe, I'm willing to spend half of it! After so many factors in consideration, choices are virtually none! Apart from the stores I could go shop online which could save me some time as I don't have the time to go to many stores in the first place but I'm the kind of person who cannot buy shoes and clothes online. I need to wear them to make sure it's comfortable and I like it!
So my search for the perfect shoe continues to this day.. I hope to find them eventually!

Welcome back! Nistha and I were talking about shoes today. We both want gladiator sandals..since you know we're still in the office that wears rags :) A couple weeks back I was in the mall and impulsively stopped at payless..now that you introduced it to me. I bought 2 pairs..and when I wore 1, P said it looks similar to my other pair. Sure enough when I checked it looked exactly same as the one we bought at n&yc :) But I kept it anyway since it was a heel instead of a wedge ;) besides gladiator i want colorful shoes...only have black and gray :(

Ohh I love Payless and I too want a gladiator style for casual wear on weekends! :) Maybe we can go hunt for shoes when you visit us next weekend, although I wonder if that will fly by the guys :P
