WHY YOU SHOULD WEAR HEELS

I myself am quite modest, not to mention the word ‘small’, rather short. When I once, I must have been about sixteen, traded a pink slash soft yellow slash light blue all star for a heel (probably something from Sasha, don't expect too much) I knew, they weren't coming off anymore. Those first ten centimeters were in. Since that day, unless I'm intensely pregnant, doing physical work, or walking through Artis with four kids (although.. that works just fine with my sturdy Tod's 8cm), I am that woman with borrowed height. Those extra ten centimeters are not the only reason to go through life in heels. Just read along.

Optically speaking, three kilos is a size. So instead of creating a size 38 appearance, you create a 36 look. Inside is inside, I would say.

It turned out from a study by Glamour a few years ago. The chicken-and-egg question remains whether you earn more because of heels or if you wear higher heels when you earn more. My advice: Invest in a substantial Jimmy Choo or Miu Miu. No one has ever gotten worse from that.

A sensation that only the heel wearer experiences. Walk powerfully and confidently and just as you want to take the next step, slightly dip your hip. This gives everyone you pass a petite butt wink. Wink wink.

A good heel makes a medium outfit vavavoom. A dress from Zara gets CHANEL aspirations when you mix it with those amazing Azzedine Alaïa shoes. Which you of course scored on sale, hey, we are still human.

This comes from my own field research. So I've been wearing heels for a few decades and haven't been to the gym in seven years. Yet my weight is still the same as back then and my legs and butt are pretty ok. My secret? A bit of stress from time to time and those heels. Tighten that up.

Of course he finds you cute in your Jimmy Choo motorcycle boots and very stylish in those Tory Burch sandals, but if he gets to choose a pair to take to the bedroom, believe me, those are at least 12 cm towards the sky.
