A Cali Girl and Her Heels

There are a few things that should be a staple in a girl’s closet… such as that one pair of jeans that make you look skinny, a little black dress, and a killer pair of heels…. But that last part doesn't always hold true as I've learned since I've moved to the south. Replace heels with boots.

Don’t get me wrong. I am all for a good pair of boots (although I left California back in 2009, and still have yet to own a pair of boots myself). But, If you ask this Cali girl, they should be reserved for certain occasions.

A night out is not one of them. Well, unless that includes going to a country bar and line dancing, or for all of you still in college and not in the real world like I pretend to be, a themed date party.  Oh, and you can’t forget game days.

Heels just do so much more for you than boots ever could. For shorties like me… the taller the better. No one ever realizes I am only 5’2, and when they do actually notice they are usually shocked. But not only do they give you a boost, if you are blessed with short legs like myself they elongate you and give the illusion your legs are really longer.  Boots really do quite the opposite. They make you short ad stumpy looking. For me, they just feel big and clunky on my feet.

Also, for all you non-squatters out there… heels make your booty look better too. I don’t know if anyone else is like me, but every time I am in the dressing room trying things on you always do the turn around and check out your backside. Well I always stand on my tiptoes in my imaginary heels.

Maybe I am just too much of a California girl, but I stick to my guns when I say boots should be reserved for certain occasions. It’s been about five years I've been in the south now and still not a pair in my closet. We’ll see if that ever changes. For now,  I’ll keep my 4 inch heels or higher.
