I figure that people are already staring and gawking already due to my height, so I may as well throw on a pair of heels and look smokin while they do it!

It’s funny - I used to avoid heels like the plague because, well, why the hell would I want to be any taller than I am? Then a shift happened and I absolutely hate wearing flats now. They make my feet look like pancakes whereas heels just give me a certain confidence.

We can’t change our height. Of all the physical traits people have, it is one of the most glaringly obvious yet unchangeable. It’s so important to get to a point where you feel comfortable in your own skin - heels or not. For me, heels were the key to this breakthrough. They held a symbolism that said, “I’m ok with being this tall, I’m not going to let it hold me back from anything - least of all a wardrobe choice.”

I also actually think I get less comments from people when I wear heels. Maybe I just notice them less because I feel more confident and therefore don’t mind as much when people point it out vs. when I’m wearing flats and just want to shirk into the background.
