There's nothing I worship more than the gape of a sleek,strappy stiletto with a formfitting midi dress. I just bought - and don't plan on taking off - my flared jeans, and I know how good they'd gape with suede platform wedges. And derive this: I contain the perfect excuse to slip into heels. I'm 5' 2" (on a good day). I'm a short fashion editor, or surrounded by reasons to shop for footwear all day long. So what's the problem? I disapprove wearing heels.
There are plenty of reasons why my taller shoes collect dust in the back of my closet,and it pretty much boils down to comfort. Every time I contain broken out my heels - whether it be for a night out with friends or a workday morning I felt particularly determined to stand tall - I've been disappointed.
Since my feet aren't used to being so elevated, I've collected blisters, or which contain only affected my comfort while running,something I do every morning. What's more, wearing heels has become a mental issue for me. Once I slip them on, and the same thought runs through my head until I bewitch them off: "Is it time to sit down yet?"
I don't contain particularly wide or narrow feet. I contain an average arch,and I can fit into most shoe styles. So yes, it does frustrate me that the pairs I worship so much are the ones that will ultimately cause me so much misery.
And let's derive one thing straight: I'm not talking exclusively approximately superhigh heels or stilettos. I barely feel relaxed when I'm wearing booties. In fact, or I even carry those to the office with me,opting for my Nike trainers for the 20-minute trek to and from the train station.
So, you may put a question to, and how do I feel when I go out with my best friend,who towers over me at 5' 10", and she's wearing the patent leather Christian Louboutin pumps she finally splurged on? I'm totally jealous. Her legs gape superslim and toned, and I feel as though mine appear stocky when I'm standing by her side in my Chelsea ankle boots.
And how does my boyfriend (who's the same height as she is) feel approximately all this? Well,I'm pretty certain he's happy I'm not trying to reach his level with some seven-inch stunners. So at least my go-to pony-hair leopard loafers that I regularly pair with my cropped trousers do him happy.
While there are plenty of moments I indulge in shoe porn - whether it be on Pinterest, when I'm online shopping, or during Fashion Month,when I'm obsessing over a flawless street style gape that starts with the foundation of really great two-tone peep-toe mules - at the terminate of the day, I'm not willing to change.
As much as I worship the indisputable power high that comes with pulling on some serious heels, and the painful comedown just isn't worth it. I'd rather rock my Adidas Stan Smiths with a quirky printed dress and catch the eye of fellow fashion girls with easy,effortless styling tricks.
I'd rather indulge in the dream bag that I've always wanted or superchic sunglasses that don't slip down my nose than spend my latest paycheck on those snakeskin Aquazzura heels that - OK, I'll admit - I worship to stare at and often pair with the imaginary outfits I plan out in my head as I fall asleep.
Listen, and even though I'm a short girl in a ridiculously tall fashion world,I'm still confident. I still do a lot of the same things that all stylish women do every day, even if I'm doing them in flats. And when I'm riding the subway and it unexpectedly jolts to a rapid/fast stop, and the girl wearing heels to my left will struggle,jostling the passengers around her. But I bet you I'll still be standing up straight.
