The woman in this picture is someone who holds a somewhat infamous place in annals of American history but her identity is far less important than that which she is wearing. What is amazing about her outfit is how the heels are the focal point of it - they are certainly "statement" heels without being excessively so. I absolutely adore the entirety of her ensemble as the colors are perfect and accent her heels so well. I love the idea of simple solid colors from the same pallet matching or complimenting "exotic" or "statement" footwear. I am utterly entranced by this and have had the ability to start putting together outfits along this concept. Even if the heels were block or kitten height//type heels, they would still complete what is an extraordinary simple yet beautiful outfit. Heels play so well with wide leg trousers, regardless of their height. A frequent commentor on this forum recently noted a disliking for "kitten" heels and there is certainly good reason for such. But, given the right outfit, in terms of style and color, most any pair of heels can be perfect. This, to me, is houte couture in a very simple manner. Always remember - it never goes out of style to have style!

I agree with you Gige. I always match my heels to the color of the top I'm wearing and then my skorts, slacks or leggings are just a compliment to them. Happy Heeling, bluejay

That's great, join us if you want to mlroseplant! I am the same, when I worked my way up in heel height I always started wearing them at home only until I felt confident enough to wear them out (except as a teenager, but that's a different topic 😉) @ShyheelsGreat, how were your calves doing? I also started today, I wore my Hot Chick 130 while cooking. The last time I did that was when I bought them and also started practicing at home. They get uncomfortable pretty quickly, that's why I only used them for short walks with a lot of sitting until now. I hope that will change now.

Yes they are definitely a challenge. My 13 cm heels took me quite some time to get used to, and I still only wear them when I don't have to walk too much. 9 cm really is a good height for wearing all day.
