8 Reasons to Wear High Heels

During the summer I work a professional job, and I have become accustomed to wearing heels. During the rest of the year I live on a college campus, so it's not exactly ideal to be wearing heels all the time when I'm walking everywhere in heels. But you know what? Heels are actually great. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the time they are a huge pain, otherwise there's so much good to them. Now here we go: 8 reasons to wear heels. 

1. Obviously, heels make you taller! Maybe it doesn't work this way for everyone, but I love being tall, with or without heels. if you are naturally short, then you get to have the awesome experience of being average height! Plus, you can reach things that are kept up really high, which means getting rid of those lame gender roles that say men are there to help girls reach things that they can't reach themselves. Please. 

2. Heels are hard work, and your muscles will hurt. But hey, it can make up for those days when you're feeling lazy and skip out on the gym. Heels are great for your calves and can really help shape them, will make your legs look even better for the summertime...so show 'em off!

3. Heels are empowering. Let me tell you, it feels great to walk around in those things. You look tall and fashionable and put together and it's a wonderful feeling. Wearing heels means you're the shit and you can boss people around and it works cuz you look the part. And you can threaten to beat them with your heel if they refuse.

4. Also, heels give you confidence, and confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit. (Or so says my girl Stacy London.) Wearing heels is magic, you put them on and you feel great. Okay, at first you feel like and idiot, but once you master it, I promise, it's a great feeling. All you have to do is put heels on your feet and a smile on your face. 

5. Heels are classy. I'm in college, everyone wears t-shirts and sweatpants on a daily basis. No judgement there, people can wear whatever the heck they want. But when you walk into class wearing rocking some adorable heels, everyone instantly says how good you look. You don't have to be the prettiest girl in the room, heck you can be the ugliest, but if you walk in with some class? People will notice.

6. All true fashionista's can rock heels. Fashion is such a good tool to have. Dressing well will make you look good wherever you go and people will be impressed. Not to mention job interviews; an employee will much more likely hire you if you are well dressed. Same with grad school interviews, first dates, meeting the parents. It's all about first impressions.  

7.  People will be jealous of you. They'll be jealous of your style, of your class, of the attention you're getting...everything. 

8. And finally the number one reason to wear heels, everytime you slip one on, you feel like Cinderella. Your heels won't be made out of glass, (and please don't buy ones that are), but you still get a similar feeling. 

Now you can't just hop on the high heel bandwagon. They take time to learn and get used to. If you haven't worn them a lot and you just one day up and wear them for hours on end, because you will get the most horrible foot cramps and have to spend a whole day off your feet. (I'm speaking from experience.) Spend a couple days practicing walking in them, then ease into it. 

Then once you get the hang of it, rock it. It's all about the confidence and no matter who you are, they'll make you look beautiful, trust me. :)
