IF THE SHOE FITS//Tips

IF you are like me…. I LOVE SHOES.
 WHAT GIRL DOES NOT LOVE SHOES??

I,  for one love heels and don't feel complete without wearing a nice shoe with an outfit.
Use to be I walk around in heels always, no flats for me. It just did not feel right for me.

Well , now it seems some peoples feet are made to wear heels and others not , according to recent report from the College of Podiatry . There is a PERFECT HEEL HEIGHT formula to  get the right
shoe for your feet. (I recall being told by a doctor to wear Birkenstocks, those were the best shoes for the foot and back.)











Here is  a simple way to check for the right heel for you -

Step 1. Take off your shoes, sit down and hold one leg straight out in front of you, relaxing your foot,’ . If your foot sits naturally at a right angle to your outstretched leg and does not dangle, then you have less mobility in the talus and will be more comfortable in flat shoes than in high heels. If the top of your foot falls forwards, in a straightish line following your leg, you are a natural heel wearer.  according to a specialist podiatrist.
Step 2. To find your optimum heel height, get a friend or partner to help stretch the tape measure from your heel in a straight line parallel to the floor, then place a pencil at the ball of your foot at right angles to the tape.”




Step 3. Reading the tape measure where it hits the pencil will give you your ideal heel height.

IF you go by the results   then  it suggests a 4 to 5 inch heel is the maximum height, but IF you wear heels  daily a 3 inch heel is the best. 
Yessss, I  am definitely  a high heel girl!  


Even now  I like the kitten heels shoes, think they are cute with slacks or pair of jeans.  So what ever you wear be comfortable and look great.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
