To the Blonde Girl with the Soul of Glitter...
I wish I could’ve taken her to coffee. I wish I could’ve sat across from her and built a relationship with her. But Southwest Airlines waits for no woman, so all I had was that moment. And I wish I could remember exactly what I did say to her verbatim, but I have been unable to recall it clearly. I long for the retroactive chance to say so much more in that moment.

Bad days, in any job, are inevitable. But if this is your evening more than 4 times a month, it's time to have a really serious conversation with yourself.
Coming from a girl who would wear flip-flops and yoga pants every single day of her life, regardless of where she was, fashion advice is pretty funny. I’m not someone you’d find on the People Of Walmart – I at least put on jeans and a bra before I leave the house – but I’m not a Madison Avenue fashion plate either. But since what I’m here to offer you is practicality in shoes that still maintain your visual credibility, I guess we’re good.
While I hate to admit it, my mother was right: Shoes can make or break you professionally.
