#ThatAwkwardMoment: When you Break a Bone …

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Georgetown chapter.

 

Every girl loves her high heels. We all have that one pair that we would wear everywhere we went if it was socially acceptable. Or there’s a pair that you dream of buying when you get your first pay check. I personally love heels in all shapes and colors. The only issue with my love for heels is that I always buy heels that are way too high. I am just attracted to tall heels!

Recently, I wore my favorite black, peep-toe wedge booties that have a shiny gold band around the bottom (I’m from Jersey, I just can’t resist some shine!). I then proceeded to go out for what I assumed would be an average Thursday night. It turned out to be anything but average, because I managed to fall, not once, but several times! The Georgetown cobblestones and my heels just do not mix! I fell on my way out and on the way home and to top off the whole evening, I FRACTURED MY THUMB. Yup, that’s right. My favorite black wedges caused me a broken thumb. It looks like a baby sausage.

So ladies, please take my experience as a lesson to you to only wear your favorite heels in safe places! You could end up with a broken thumb like me. The only problem now is that I cannot decide if I am sadder about my purple thumb or the fact that I have to retire my black and gold babies from the streets of Georgetown.
