Deep Thoughts on a Thursday Morning: 5 Things to Love About Heels...

I love shoes. My closet is full of them. I am addicted to purchasing shoes because my size never changes and it is way less depressing than shopping for clothes! haha High Heels (platforms especially) are the BEST. My husband is 6'4" and I can use all the height I can get to be UP there with him! I don't know where I found this but thought it summed up my love for heels well....:-) Oh, the pic I placed in this blog is, in my opinion, a VERY cute pair of shoes...unfortunately they cost over $300!!!!








5 Things to Love About High Heels


1) High Heels MakeYou Taller


Vertically challenged women everywhere will tell you how they love their heels. But, even if you don't need extra height, having it can make you feel good. It's truly a heady feeling to slip on a pair of shoes and instantly be 3 or 4 inches taller, and reaching things on the top shelf, well, it's a high like no other.


2) High Heels Don't Make You Look Fat


Unlike skinny jeans, cropped leggings, or whatever other torturous styles are appearing on the runways, high heels won't make you look fat. Granted, some styles are more flattering than others, but as a general rule, heels are more slimming than flats.


3) High Heels Can Make an Outfit


Even a pair of jeans and a t-shirt can take on an entirely different look when a pair of heels is added, and nothing can make a plain skirt pop like the perfect pair of pumps or sandals.


4) High Heels Make You Feel (and Look!) Sexy

Just putting on a pair of sexy high heels can make you feel sexier, but they also can make you look sexier. High heels change our body stance, making our calf muscles more pronounced, and forcing our butts and chests out -- it's nearly as if high heels force us into better posture ... and good posture is always sexy.


5) High Heels Don't Have to Cost a Fortune

While it's easy to spend a fortune on high heels, even inexpensive brands can look great. In fact, there are few things that can cost as little and make you feel quite as happy, as a pair of killer heels.





P.S. If you want to see a really goofy video about SHOES (by this comedian Liam Sullivan--winner of a People's Choice award for best user generated video on YouTube), Go to YouTube and type in Kelly Shoes Video. This is NOT KID FRIENDLY (Kids should just watch his Muffins video)because of language and is really only funny and not much #$!@ before the 3:00 minute mark. Call me weird, but it just makes me crack up...I am kinda scared to share this with people cause they might think I have a lame sense of humor, but my husband assures me there has to be others out there who might chuckle at it too. He did.

My husband loves it when I wear high heels for all of those reasons. I do love the way they look but my big, fat feet are always aching to break free when I wear them.

I can't wear high heels...I've gone over the weight limit! I do however love looking at shoes. I use to describe women to my mother by the shoes they were wearing.

I am ashamed to admit, I love my crocs and not much more. Maybe if I lose this weight I'll treat myself to cuter shoes.
