Heels

I figured that since the other day I did flats, today I'd do heels.
But first, oh what a day I have had.
First off, since my family and some other families do this thing at the park Thanksgiving morning, I came to my grandma's house today to help her cook. I literally spent 3 hours on this stupid apple pie. It was the apple pie from hell. Now I am hungry. Yay!
Ok. So. Heels. Right. Everyone loves heels because they make you look taller and have the magical power to not only make your legs look amazing put also correct your posture. DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying walking in heels is easy though: case in point, my friend RS who can't even wear 2in heels or my friend NH who has literally fell on her butt multiple times. What I did a couple years ago to get myself used to heels was I took a pair and wore them around the house for a week straight. Any time I walked in the door, I put on my heels. Even if I was watching TV or going on the treadmill. My mom even had to take them off of me once when I fell asleep in them. Don't do that though; I'm just an extremist. But it is a good idea to wear a new pair of heels around the house for a while to break them in a little. Another way to break them in is to put a drop of rubbing alcohol in them and then put them on while wearing thick socks. Don't wear heels when you're going to a place where you're going to have to walk or stand a lot unless you're fully comfortable in/with them.
My favorite kind of heels are Nude Heels. They go with everything and look chic with the most complicated outfits. Plus, because they're nude, they elongate your legs. Amazing in every respect. Also, peep toes. My all-time favorite shoe is black patent Louboutin peep toes. To. Die. What I'm so over is strappy black heels. They've just been done.
Remember: Hoes, no toes. Toes, no Hose. If you are wearing an open toe shoe, don't wear tights. If not, by all means go for it!
You have to be careful when wearing heels (especially as teens!) that you don't look like a hooker. There are some questions you can ask yourself before leaving your house to prevent this...uh...resemblance:
1. Is the rest of my outfit skin tight? Is my skirt really short?
2. Are these heels too high in proportion to my height?
3. Would The Situation try to "smash" me?
If the answer is "yes" to any of these questions, I would re-consider the outfit.

I just want to be 5 foot 6, but if that's not going to happen, at least I've got my heels!
Ps. How funny is it when Katie Holmes is standing next to Tom Cruise on the red carpet and she has heels on? :)
