wearing heels

So in the past month I have had more complaints about me wearing heels than I think I ever had. First a girl with her boyfriend walking by me in a grocery store rudely says (not out of earshot), "That girl should NOT be wearing heels!" Then, I find out that after visiting my little sister's work one of her coworkers found it ridiculous that I wore heels and informed my little sister as such. Finally, today I got an e-mail on okcupid from some greek dude who wanted to know why - at 6'2" - I wanted to wear heels and wasn't I tall enough already?

SO frustrating!

So okay people here it is, my reasons for wearing heels. Imagine you put two women next to each other, both the same exact height flatfooted. Now, put them both in a knee length skirt. Finally, put one of them in flat shoes and one of them in heels. Who looks more professional, more put together and ultimately, sexier? The chick in the heels. Why? Because her legs are elongated and it's been common practice for YEARS that a business women wear some sort of heel, especially with a skirt,

Okay, there's my reason one, in heels I look more professional, more confident, etc etc.

Next reason. Now, yes, I'm 6'2" and yes, I am quite tall enough on my own. However, I also have four feet of leg. And four feet of leg looks damn good in three inch heels. Stick me in three inch heels next to a girl who is 5'3" in three inch heels. Who are you going to notice first? Most likely me. Now imagine me in a miniskirt and you've got a walking bombshell. Am I right? Of course I'm right because I KNOW how it works when I wear heels, I know how people respond to me when I wear heels.

My final reason, for all you men, for all you women, look at the flat shoes options out there for women. Pretty friggen limited. So why am I NOT allowed to wear all the cute heels that are out there JUST because I'm taller than most people? Huh? HUH? It doesn't make sense! Why am I supposed to limit my fashion choice because SOME people think I shouldn't wear heels just because I'm already tall.

It's ridiculous. Some people wear heels for the height. I wear heels for the way they make my legs look, the way I stand out even more when I wear them and because... GOD... they're WAY cuter and more common than flat shoes!

So that's my rant for the day, hope you enjoyed. Here's a pic of my new favorite pair of heels.

Hey Whit... I don't blame you for wearing heels. You should wear whatever the hell you want to, especially if it makes you feel & look good! :) By the way I love the new heels!

Thank-you!
This makes me feel way more confident about wearing heels!
They're so pretty, I've always felt the need to justify myself because I'm tall.
But bottom line is I love them so I want to wear them!
People who think otherwise can STFU!
