Kill your Heels - Dress Up Flats




I for one am all behind the recent trend of dress up flats. I really hate heels and frankly I hate the way my toes get squished for 8 hours a day when I wear them. So seeing flats making a comeback and even cutting into the heels marketshare is really exciting for me. I think flats say a lot of things about women's fashion that are really positive. For one it says that we don't need heels to look good (and make our butts look good) to get ahead in life, we can dress with what makes us comfortable and what works best for us and still be successful. It also says that we don't need to suffer to be stylish. Fashion is never about suffering, that was just the men in the world that created that, it is about art and art can be on a flat shoe just as easily as on a heel. So I say bravo to your flats revolutionaries out there and I say we keep fighting this until the heel becomes a thing of the past that we joke about like leggings at an 80s halloween party. "Death to heels!"
