The appeals of heels!

The prospect of heels may be terrifying to some people, no matter what they weigh, how tall they are, or whether they sit down or stand up to pee. I used to be vastly opposed to them, pretty much because I had enough trouble generally standing up and walking, without the added pressure of being four inches higher than was strictly necessary.

I guess heels are an acquired taste. And, well, skill. Because as soon as you've found the right pair to start you off, the sky's the limit!

...that's not to say that your heels should be monstrously high.

This is what is referred to, in most cultures, as "so stupid, the word 'stupid' is offended by assosciation."

It truly is worth getting into the habit of heels, because - although they can be painful as all heck if worn for too long - heels are the larger lady's friend! Not only do they elongate the legs and make the butt look fantastic, but they alter our posture to suck in the stomach area. There's some dresses I refuse to wear unless I couple them with a solid set of heels. :)

Now that I've espoused the benefits of heels, prepare to enter stiletto heaven.

I've never been a huge fan of shoes at all, but the moment I set eyes on Iron Fist shoes, it was lust at first sight. I wanted to do naughty, naughty things to these shoes that I would later have to go confess to my local priest. And when you see them, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Just LOOK at them! Have you ever seen someone so magical in your entire existence? No? I thought as much.

Shoe lust...overload... Prepare to self-destruct------

...Returning from my fantasy now... The great thing about bold shoe choices is that they can become the statement of an entire outfit, especially when paired with skinny jeans and a plain top! By drawing attention to your feet, you can draw attention away from other parts. Like if you're having a bad hair day.... voila! In heels this fantastic, no one is looking at your stringy strands.

These shoes are edgy and just a little bit gothic. I already own the Zebracorn Rainbow Heels, and already plan on acquiring moaaaarrrrr, for tis the season to be twenty-one... :)

So if you're prejudiced against heels - reconsider. They can do wonders for your height; can make you feel glamorous; can tuck in your tummy and round your butt; and can turn your ordinary ensemble into something extraordinary!

Remember: Don't wear heels if you're planning on standing for hours. That's just masochistic. But if you've got a dinner, or a dance where there will be some sitting down for relief... Dooooo ittttt. And if you're worried about the discomfort, there's always Party Feet!

Here's a picture of how heels completed my outfit last Halloween. And please... don't ask what I was. I'm going with Menstrual Angel... Basically, I adherred to the Mean Girls rule that Halloween is just an excuse to dress up as slutty as possible...

Love,
Lolly
