I decided to
accompany my brother to his church for a Sunday service as I had overslept the
previous night and couldn't make my usual early morning mass (my catholic peeps
should know what I mean). After the service as I was waiting for my bro who
normally has various meetings to attend, I couldn't help but notice a tall dark
lady stride past me in an unusual gait. At first I thought she had an injury of
some sort as she walked unsteadily but it didn't take me time to come to the
conclusion that she was indeed uncomfortable in the 5 inch gladiator sandal
she had strapped to her ankle. It was then I took a look around the church
premises and realized that almost all the ladies had similar shoes of various
types on, ranging from gladiator to kitten heels to wedge etc. each not less
than 4 inches and quite a huge number of them weren't in the least comfortable
as they walked awkwardly.
I then realized that fashion has really
taken a toll on this generation and indeed done us a huge disservice in a way
or two. In a bid to be fashionable, those ladies forgot that carriage is as
important a factor as the clothes, shoes and accessories you have on. I mean
why wear a shoe of about 4-6 inches which makes you uncomfortable and gives
that awkward movement which ultimately ruins the entire outfit. Don’t get me
wrong I’m a huge fan of ladies who wear heels only if they are able to carry
themselves appropriately with grace and poise.
So my advice to ladies out there who love heels
(I’m sure almost all ladies do), please learn how to walk properly in those
shoes. Practice they say makes perfect. I love to stare at ladies who have on a
nice chiffon peplum top together with a dashing pencil skirt and a six inch Christian
Louboutin shoes with the right amount of accessories to go with it. Please
ladies I wouldn't love to see another damsel in distress.
