Five Inch Platforms. The New Black?

38826_bk_dl
I'm beginning to think so. Everywhere I look the heels are rising. Five inches. Five fabulous leg lengthening inches. At this point I know some of you are thinking you might fall on your face and make a fool of yourself. But if I may be so bold, I'd say it's your right, no...your duty, your privilege as a woman to learn to walk in heels.

They don't have to be stiletto heels. But how about a nice pair of wedges? Give me a fat platform and towering heels and I'm a happy girl. And - let's face it - done right, these make your legs appear to go on for miles. Miles, I say!

So before you start whining and telling me you "just can't do it"...give wedges a shot. Pair these with a pair of short shorts, a flowy chiffon top and a colorful clutch then head out the door. But I'm warning you, ladies... be prepared to get compliments on your great legs.

What the beautiful people are saying...

You are breaking my heart right now. I miss heels SOOOOOOOOOOO much but every time I do now I end up and the chiro's office for 2 weeks straight.

I'm only allowed to bring out my Louboutin's on a special occassion, where I know I can walk in and sit down and nothing more.

Sigh....

explains my obsession with them in my art now doesn't it?

I think it really does explain it, Richele! I will concede this, now that I'm chasing someone small around I finally see the point of a "kitten heel" shoe. I always thought those were silly..now they are downright practical. LOL!

Something to say, gorgeous?
