High heels: Fashion statement or personality?

High heels will compliment a dress or bring to light who you are. What if you don’t like them, though? Are you just a tomboy or someone out of touch with fashion?

Not in the least. High heels are only good as long as they melt in with your personality. Imagining that they can completely change who you are because you have them on won’t take you far. Of course, there will be times when you need to wear a special outfit to social reunions or parties. But the way you dress and behave in your free time shows who you are.

Not when you need to adjust to a social setting and live up to standards put there by someone else. Outside work hours and away from the office is your own space. There you get to decide what to wear, how often, and for how long.

High heels raise you up, but falling takes seconds

Literally and philosophically. I still remember the days when I was trying so hard to learn how to walk in those shoes. And it hurt for a while. Until I wore them so often, I forgot they even were that high. Until I met sidewalks and stairs. Falling from heels instead of sneakers certainly makes a difference.

There’s always a personal note in it too. High heels add color, style, and a bit of glamour. It’s hard to pass on that, and for a while, you will enjoy the special feeling these shoes give you. For some women, the happy feeling stays for life. For others, high heels are just a nice part of an outfit.

Whether you love them forever or just want them to look good, the difference will paint a different hue to your life. Once high heels get into your happy space, you will naturally start a day on the best note after you have them on.

Walking in a special way, polishing your style, and always looking for the latest designs in shoes will motivate you. In that case, you will have learned to equate them with a beauty stance. But what if you dropped them? Would you still be able to look in the mirror and like what you see?

Can you be attractive without high heels?

You’re not stuck just because you started on the high-heels path. It’s not had to forget wearing them. In fact, it only took me three months of comfy shoes worn daily to find it really hard to walk for more than 5 minutes in high heels. I can go for drives or attend parties in them still, but walking a block like that or going to the mall for a shopping spree is out of the question.

And on some level, I have taken them out of my personality. I have come to see beauty as something more than what you wear. I still appreciate amazing shoes and would look at the latest styles, but it’s something I can live without. Special occasions may warrant high heels, but sneakers have come to be my daily choice.

No barriers to style

We all have different ways to express our fashion style. Quirky, unconventional, classic, or just the tossed-out-of-bed thing. It’s all good as long as it fits where you are and what you want to express.

I don’t think there’s any purpose in separating people based on shoes or clothes. Women who wear high heels are not more attractive than others. They will be taller for sure, but that’s not always a guarantee they will succeed.

It takes determination, hard work, a touch of luck, and plenty of goodwill to sparkle in any situation.

Spread good words, and a trail of glittery hand-up and high heels will just be the cherry on top of a wonderful journey that guides others.
