We have been having beautiful weather lately! Which has caused quite the predicament for this blog because, well, frankly I would rather back away from the technology and enjoy the sunshine. Thanks to my impeccable timing, I twice-encountered yesterday the perfect situation that had me itching to write a post. So, taking a few moments to hash this one out is really no inconvenience to missing Spring happening outside ...this may or may not have something to do with the fact that I'm bound to my desk anyway. Is it Friday yet?!
Anyways, both as I was walking to work yesterday morning and as I was hurrying back from lunch, I found myself stuck behind the same type of woman: she who wears heels she cannot physically walk in.
Ladies and gentlemen - I know you've ALL seen this type of woman at some point or another. For those that need a refresher, she's usually in stacked platforms waddling like a duck at the pace of a snail. Another version I've noticed from time to time, though I still don't seem to understand, is the woman who manages to wear heels that are too big causing her to loudly clomp down the sidewalk with her toes pointed out.
Either way, I really want to ask: Is it worth it? To my knowledge, I've never heard of a woman who was bludgeoned to death outside her office for refusing to slip her feet out of her flats and into a painful pair of stilettos before walking out the door.
I'm not trying to say there is anything wrong with running around in heels all day - I do it. But seriously, 6-inch leopard print platform, are you slowing up walking traffic on your way to a business meeting or home from the club? Just because the Real Housewives of whatever city can strut the whole 5 feet from their limo seat to to the front door of a restaurant wearing stacked heels, doesn't mean we need to take this fashion faux pas to the mean streets of Washington. While trying to look poised like Heidi Klum, you're moving with the grace of Goofy.
The saying goes "beauty is pain", not "beauty is painful to witness". Select ladies, do yourselves and the sidewalk traffic jam behind you a favor and try a shorter heel...that fits. And to the rest of you women rocking a great pair of heels every day, the sidewalk is your runway -strut on!
