It has come to my attention that not all women have a ‘shoe thang’. That not every woman has been bitten by the shoe love bug.
Be still my heavily beating heart- the pain of this knowledge- too shall pass.
Yes, not all women have a closet full of shoes- some that have never felt the concrete ground against their smooth soles.
On the other end of the shopping spectrum, are those women who own too many of one style of shoe.
I can’t believe I have written those words. My hands are shaking.
Too many sneakers. Too many flip-flops. Too many high heels.
My head is spinning at this thought – how a woman can have too many heels is beyond . . .
Sorry, back to the post.
I have decided that in light of this information, I would give my list, of what I feel are the 10 essential shoe styles every woman should own.
1. Stilettos: The stiletto with a heel of 4.5 inches or higher serves three purposes depending on your situation.
a. For the single woman. Have every head in the place turn to watch you as you strut across the floor. These shoes will make your hips move in a seductive matter and your will legs look so sexy. And they will give you an ego boost. In stilettos you will know you are sexy, strong, and empowered.
b. For the woman in a relationship. Spice up the bedroom with a pair of stilettos and some lingerie. Your man will be thinking about you in those heels for the rest of the week. And willing to do anything to get you to put them back on your feet again.
c. They are also called the f**k ‘em heel. They go well with the f**k ‘em dress. When your man is getting on your nerves, when the divorce has been finalized, or when the relationship has fizzled. Get your girls together, put on your f**k ‘em outfit and enjoy yourself. His lost girlfriend, you are fab.
2. High heel pump: I would go with a classic pair of black ones. Black heels can go with many different outfits. They are good for all seasons. Black heels can be worn with evening attire or a business suit. You can even wear them with a pair of jeans.
3. Kitten heels: Are for the days that you don’t want to wear a high heel yet, you still want to dress up your feet for the occasion. They are very classy.
4. Flats: Great for light shopping and lunch with your girlfriends or catching an afternoon movie with your boyfriend.
5. Sandals: Summer time in the city.
6. Flip-flops: Not only for the beach.
7. Dress boat: For the fall/ winter season. Dressy enough for work and going out on a date yet, still practical for the weather.
8. Boot: The winter weather type. A warm foot on a cold day.
9. Trainers: Maintaining good health should be a priority for all women. One simple way to do so, is to start walking.
10. Slippers: At the end of the day. Slip them on your feet and relax.
These 10 styles are my essentials for every woman. If you only own one pair of each shoe style, you should be prepared for any occasion.
Of course, depending on your region, your need of some style of shoes will differ from my list. For example, living in Miami, a snow boot won’t be necessary. Adjust your list according to your area.
Okay, ladies happy shoe shopping.
