Despite a recent post on black flats, I am still struggling in the shoe arena. (I still haven't bought a new pair of flats, and remember those fabulous red Steve Madden shoes? Although my friend Janet purchased them, I haven't).
My dilemma is multi-fold. I am short, so crave additional height. But the nature of urban living make high heels a hazardous gamble unless one has an endless budget to be spent on cabs. I prefer to spend my money on shoes, not cabs. In addition, a majority of my pants are hemmed a bit long, so I need the height so as not to ruin said pants. I determined that the best shoe that would give me some height but allow me to navigate the city would be a wedge shoe. I remember when wedges came back a few years ago, I couldn't get on the bandwagon. I thought they made short girls look shorter, and could add 10 lbs to your frame, and were kind of ugly. And now, they seem to be on the low tide of the trend. The options are limited, and often don't come in my size. . .but I'd like a pair that is classic but a bit edgy, a neutral color, and not too high. Like this (but are they too boring?) or this (I think I may like these the best, but they are a bit spendy for me these days)or this. (Too practical/utilitarian?).I've also been kind of crazving a wedge bootie or oxford type of shoe, and at one point this fall was totally obsessed with these, over the objections of a friend of mine. Yet I am unable to commit . . . are they cute or just frumpy? Thoughts, comments, suggestions, please!!!
