excess verbiage

I've got this pair of sandals that I've been wearing the past week or two. It's got this diamond shaped thing in the middle that's supposed to look like a jewel or something, but I guess it just looks more like a piece of glass or a mirror. I wore them to work today and a colleague said to me, "Hey, cool shoes - I can see your face in them!" I was like, what? And she said, "yeah, when I look down at your shoes, I can see your face in that thing - what is that, a mirror?" And I looked down, and damn it, she was right! I mean, I have to tilt them at the right angle for me to see, but yeah, she's right. My immediate thought was, 'well that's kind of creepy.'

My second thought was, hey, I'm wearing a skirt today. I wonder if I could see up my own skirt? And the answer is, yeah, but not very clearly, and I'd have to be a real weirdo and perve to want to do that. I mean, if I wanted to see myself in underwear, then I'd just take off my skirt/pants/whatever and just look in the mirror, right? Then I thought, well I bet I could see up someone else's skirt! But again, with the creepiness factor, and really, why? A useful aspect would be to check my makeup in them, but alas, it's not clear enough. That would be nice to check makeup, hair, or if something's in my teeth. But there's none of that here. Nothing useful, just creepy possibilities, that's all.
