The higher the better

For some odd reason, whenever I wear heels there is a certain height requirement that I firmly stick by: 4 inches or higher.  I know it sounds a little crazy, but I blame my height that was so wonderfully given to me by my parents.  In person, without any vertical enhancements, I am all of 5 feet 3 inches.  Now do not get me wrong, I happen to like my height; short is cute.  It is easier for me to walk through doorways, trains, buses, or anywhere else that may cause some issues for taller folks.  Short is compact.  But there is an inexplainable feeling that happens when I put my heels on, and get ready to head out into the world.  Almost every female knows the feeling I am talking about.  The confidence level is risen, the walk changes, and a brand new attitude takes form.  It seems to me that the higher the heel, the more outward, and inward effect it has on a female.  Normally I would not suggest wearing heels if you have to do an extensive amount of walking, especially if there is no form of comfort.  However, they are perfect for going out with the girls, a date, for work to show a certain kind of professionalism, or if you just feel like putting on a pair of your favorite pumps.  Every now and then I don't mind temporarily adjusting my height, its a nice feeling.  But most of the time, on a regular day to day basis, I enjoy being closer to the ground.

  1. I could not agree more. I'm only 5'2. Not much beats that feeling when you suddenly become 4 inches taller and don't have to look up at anyone your with.
