“Killed leg day and got a new pair of shoes!!”Every time I put on heels, I think of Irene Gianos awesome blog The OP Life!!!” — Thank you sweet Natasha for this sweet comment on her picture on her Facebook of her fabulous new pink heels. LOVE that you think of me when you put on your heels! … and so you inspired me to share the other side of fabulous heels today…
Most people who have known me my whole life know I love to “dress up.” I’m not talking play dress up, but I’m talking dress UP more than dress down. Going thru school, I always preferred to be on the dressier side than the casual side. The first time I had to go to a kids soccer game, I literally said to myself, “what in the world do I wear to something like this???” and went out with heeled boots, no joke. I quickly learned the “dress down” of the “dress up” {wink!}
Which brings me to this thought… Why do I love heels so much? Well, it’s simple. I feel like I carry myself better, I walk taller (literally! LOL!), I hold my head higher and straighter, and overall I do feel a bit more put together and dressed up. So then that leads me to this…
Heels, On Purpose. When you feel ALL of those things.. put together, walk taller, feeling like you look better, doesn’t that give you a bit more confidence and a bit of oomph and sparkle in your aura and the way you carry yourself and project yourself? It certainly does for me. I’m vertically challenged so any bit of height I can get, I’ll take! ha!
And that’s not to say that I don’t wear flats, flat sandals, flat booties, flat shoes, because I do. They all have their place and time. But I gravitate to the higher shoes for that reason. Because I love the way they make me feel.
So I put together a few pair of heels that I thought at first glance are kinda fabulous, some more casual then others, but nonetheless heels and would give me that boost that I’m talking about.
I realize there will come a day that I won’t be wearing heels like I do now. However I don’t see that day in my near future and when it DOES come, I see myself fighting it with resistance! Do you wear heels because they make you feel good? Do you think heels even make a difference in how you feel or not?
This design is steller! You certainly know how to keep a
reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
