HEEL OR NO HEEL?

Shoes - as magical as they are - happen to be the bane of my life. The perpetual debate between comfort and style constantly repeats itself in my mind. Frustratingly, the rarity of finding comfortable yet stylish footwear is scandalous- hence my love for last season's Birkenstock trend. Once in a blue moon comes a trend that is actually practical, so when birks became popular back in July you can imagine my content when purchasing the oh so easy sandal.

Just when you think you've survived outfit choosing, we are soon reminded that footwear is required in order to leave the house. And, even if you own 50 pairs of shoes, that certain outfit probably refuses to accommodate any of them. Hello again square one.

Marilyn Monroe once said "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world", and, whilst I agree that a beautiful pair of shoes can make you feel unstoppable, it sure is hard to conquer when the ball of your foot is numb with pain. However, all torture aside, thank God that that excruciating heel is always up for compromising. Although inside we may feel like chopping off our own feet, on the outside 10x more sophistication is being projected than if we'd gone for a simple trainer. Don't get me wrong, trainers can be just as stylish as heels; but when we are truly in need of a lift (literally and mentally), up is the most obvious way to go.
