Day 34 - Can a high heel ever be too high?

I think we all know that I have a sick obsession with shoes.  I don't even want to take a picture of my closet right now because a) it is a little disorganized, and b) there are shoes everywhere.  It is impossible for me to even justify all of the shoes that are in my closet.  I know I have explained to you the importance of having at least five different pairs of black pumps - all of which serve a different purpose, for a different outfit, at a different venue, with a different audience, etc.  Among the variations of shoes, come a variety of heel-heights.  I have had a discussion with a co-worker (on multiple occasions) as to whether or not a heel is too high.  Is that even possible?  Can a high-heel ever be too high?

In my opinion, being someone who is 5-feet tall, there is no such thing as a heel that is too high.  I can still remember getting my first pair of "heels."  It was Easter, and they were white patented with a strap.  Granted I was 5 years old, but those shoes were, without a doubt, my favorite.  I remember walking around in the kitchen listening to the heels of the shoes hit the floor.  That noise was the epitome of being "an adult."  I looked forward to wearing those heels every year.  So yes, being short, wearing heels is great.  But I think even tall girls should rock a high-heel.  I think that all women feel better in a fierce pair of high heeled shoes, so there is no reason, no matter what your height, to leave the heels at home!  I say own your height, and rock those heels.

Ever since those patent leather white strappies, I have been a high-heel junky.  I wear heels on the weekends.  Heels to the grocery store.  I just think that a good pair of heels makes me feel good, so why not?  For those special occasions, I will bust out the really tall platform heels.  Occasionally, I will wear them to work as well; especially if they will spruce up an outfit.  Different brands of shoes will embellish the bottoms in different ways.  Jessica Simpson pumps have a silver bottom.  Christian Louboutin has a red bottom (love).  Pour La Victoire have a gold emblem.  If your heel is high enough, and your show bottoms are bold enough, then the answer is simple: your heel can never be too high!  So work it!!
