I am afraid I have to announce to you that heels are not my thing (whaat? -Ed)
Carrie Bradshaw has lead the way for women to love shoes, before her it was Marilyn Monroe who is quoted to have said “I don’t know who invented heels but all women owe him a lot.”
However I’m not feeling it. It could be because I am around 5ft 9ins and most of my friends are 5ft 5 so if I popped on 3 or 4 inch heels I’d be like a giant. I used to find myself bending over in group photos, so if I wore heels I’d probably have to go vertical.
However I’m not blaming my friends for my lack of heels as it’s not all their fault. I am a boyish girl and always wore trainers or flats when I was growing up. On my first night out at University I just wore a pair of flip flops and the girls who I lived with were disgusted and spent the next year trying to get me in heels, but I resisted. Every-so-often my friend G will demand heels on a night out and I always end up carrying them by the end of the evening.
My new goal in life is to be wearing heels everyday by the time I’m 25 – I have 3 years. I think I’d feel more like a proper lady if I wore heels! A friend of mine has been wearing heels ever since she was 16, she is just over 5ft so I guess she has to. She finds now that it hurts to wear flats which I guess means the weird tendons in her feet or ankle or something have shortened?? I don’t know.
Every outfit looks soooo much better when people wear heels with them. I’m lucky because I have long legs but there are some outfits that I try on and just think a pair of heels would make this look amazing..but I just can’t wear them. Plus there are so many pretty heels everywhere I just stare at them in shops and wish I could wear them.
This thought has come around after seeing these lace up boots with a heel. They are beautiful and I think they would just go with every outfit and give it that little bit of a grunge/rock edge, which everyone needs!
These boots are from River Island and will set you back around £74.99, however they’d last you for ages! Just think about it on cost-per-wear..thats what I do with my most expensive items!
Other heels, which have attracted my eye whilst walking around the shops today are clog heels! I don’t know how they’d stay on but look at these from ASOS, these are £85, but being black they’d deffo work with everything.
I’m going to buy a pair of around 2 to 3 inch heels and trot around my flat in them, I could just wear them out for little bits until I feel confident enough to strut around in public. Then I’ll get higher and higher until I can wear heels for at least 8 or 9 hours at a time. Don’t get me wrong there are some awesome pumps out there…and I have lots of them, but I’m up for the heel challenge now! Wish me luck xx
