Giving up fabulous for fashion

Heels are hot. The higher the better. This single girl is the queen of heels. My good friend laughed when she asked if I moved last year from my house to the apartment where I live now wearing heels. I didn't in case you're wondering.

Girls have their limits though. I've been noticing them recently wearing ginormous heels. These girls are hiked up on 3 inch platforms with 5 to 6 inch heels. Some look like they're literally floating through the air, but most are more like new born fawns trying to stand and take their first steps. I watch and hope they don't fall in a heap with their micro minis bunched around their waists.

At the risk of sounding a little too Nicki Minaj-like on American idol, "Hello daaaaling. Who styled you tonight?"

Don't do it girls. Wobbling is not hot.

Here's an easy test to use while you're shopping that works even better than a mirror. Hit the vid button on your phone and watch yourself walk in those tall shoes before you take them home. Then be honest with yourself. If you're struggling to stay upright in the store, think about walking in them up and down stairs or on a brick sidewalk or after a couple of cocktails. Trust me single girls, your dates will not be impressed.

If you must get them anyway - in spite of the five inch baby steps you take while wearing them - then promise yourself they'll be your indoor shoes. You don't have to walk far from the living room to the bedroom with that hot guy, and they'll look fab dropped on the floor next to the bed.

Love to the single girls,
