I have come to the realisation that I am not a heels kinda gal. Don’t get me wrong, they are beautiful and make any outfit look a million times better but for me they are nothing but trouble.
Last weekend, on one of my weekly shopping trips in Perth, I came across a great pair of black strappy heels at a great price. Trying them on in the store, they looked fab and felt comfortable so I was stoked. I did the height test (i.e. stood next to my mum to make sure I was too much of a giant) and everything seemed ok so naturally, I bought them.
Monday came around and I was excited to wear my new purchase. Didn’t start off well- the zip snapped just as I was trying to do them up. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THEN but I persevered.
I walked into work and felt ok but by 10am my feet were aching and I was only sitting! By midday I couldn’t take it anymore and raced home to change into my trusty flats. It also didn’t help that I’m 5’9” and most of the girls AND guys are lucky to be 5’. The height test clearly failed me here.
Looking around the stores, there are some great flats to wear that are still dressy, stylish and fashion forward. Being as tall as I am, I’m hoping I can get away with it. So I’ve done the leg work (or should I say foot work?) and snapped up some great shoes that don’t cripple me. What do you think?
