Shoes. Where do I begin. Well I realized I had a borderline obsession with shoes when I was in high school. I went to a private school where there was little room for expression. My way of showing my individuality was through my shoes. Although there was a strict rule about the color our shoes had to be, that did not limit my expression. As the years went on there were some changes in taste as well as physical changes, and maturation. Outfits were built around the shoe of choice never the other way around. It was as if the shoe itself brought the outfit to life, bringing a new definition and appeal. The heels became taller, the designs more intricate and bold, and color was limitless. Regardless of physical changes, shoes are the one part of the wardrobe that always fit. Pant size may increase or decrease; shoes fit. Top size may increase or decrease; shoes fit. The first time I saw a pair of shoes I thought to be classic was on a TV show. The exterior was all black, suede I believe, but very simple. What caught my attention was the attractive red coloring on the bottom of the shoe. I was so taken by this because I had never seen such a simple shoe with such personality that called for attention. It represented confidence, class, style, power, and sensuality all in one. I thought to myself, "I will own a pair of these shoes one day." To this day I believe that the all black shoe with the red bottom, in all it's simplicity, is one of the most powerful shoes a woman can wear. No fancy designs and multitudes of color are necessary, just plain black and red. The way I look at it, for everywhere you have to go there is a shoe for each one of those steps to take you there.
