Is it a crime against fashion to wear flats?? We, of course, today went to a family cookout and I wore some very cute thong sandals with shorts and a 4th of July Tshirt. I very much fit in with everyone else at my Southern family's laid back cookout, but couldn't help but wish that I had on something a little more dressy, and with heels. I am not sure why I feel this way. Is it because I am filled with images from Vogue of beautiful people frolicking on the beach in their Oscar de la Renta gowns and their Christian Louboutins, and therefore I feel like this is what is "normal"? Let's face it, in small town south, I would for sure be the odd woman out for wearing anything other than what I did today. But is that necessarily a bad thing? Is it worth having 20 people walk by you on the street thinking "what is SHE wearing??" just to have that 1 who knows fashion to go, "those gladiator heels are TO DIE FOR". I , on most days, feel absolutely YES. It is totally worth it. If you are a fashionista and love to wear new things, mix and match and take your cues from the runway, GO FOR IT. I remember having my gladiator heels before a lot of people in my town. I bought them online, and when they came in, my husband was like "those are the ugliest effing shoes I've ever seen"...a couple of weeks later, he's out with his friends and said he say more than one girl with them on..."ok, ok, I guess they ARE a hot item right now"....
So, the question of the day is...flats vs heels. I am not really one to go with comfort over looks. Never have been. I have always been a believer in you ALWAYS go with what looks better, shoes were not made to be comfortable. Also though, being a woman of smaller stature (4'9") I generally always choose heels over flats!
What are your thoughts? I know most people (especially those with kids) may not agree with me, and let me tell you, it is not always easy to walk around with a kid on your hip in 5 inch heels. However this is my life!
Until next time bitches.
