I can't help it...

[telecom_goddess]

Wow I would tell any boss who said I needed to wear high heels to kiss off....I want to be comfortable and that's that. I have enough issues with my feet that I don't need to aggravate them.

As for the pants with heels thing what I see every single day are people wearing pants that go to the ground, they are more than covering the shoe and the leg so any visual effects it may have are wasted

I dunno I just never have given a crap about appearance/perception/what people think. If I think it looks dumb then I won't do it, but if it looks ok to me and is comfortable I will.

Driving is a very intensive, high concentration task. Some people just have a short length of time they can safely do such a task.

So their partner does most of the driving, and they only do the short 'end of journey' drive.

I never wear spike or stiletto heels or even any narrow heel; I wear chunkies and platforms. I can live in my platforms or New Rocks, and not feel the slightest discomfort.

By the way, I wear my boots with skirts and dresses, not trousers. XD

I like flip-flops a lot, and I have a few pairs of tennis shoes (or similar). But I can't wear ballet flats or other flat shoes. I have duck feet (wide toes) and I've yet to find a pair of ballet flats that are wide enough without being too long. Yes, I've tried wide sizes, too. And...flats just aren't a good look on me. I'm short and stumpy.

I hate to be "That Woman", but that comment is bordering on sexual harassment (depending on the seriousness of his request). If her boss wouldn't ask a man to wear high heels all day, then he has no right to ask that of a woman.

It is sexual harassment. He's also told her that she doesn't dress appropriately enough. She wears business casual. Like, who the hell looks under someone's desk to look at their shoes? He told my sister she needed to dress more like Condi Rice.

My sister's new boss told her she should wear high heels much more, as it makes her look more professional. You can tell he's never lived with a woman.

Well I personally can't wear heels they hurt my feet way too much. Whether it's the spike kind or wedge or whatever...I like flat comfy shoes. Flip flops can hurt depending on the kind you have, or be totally comfortable. The cheaper ones are not good.

My sister and one of her co-workers staged a conversation when he was nearby about how my sister's doctor said she should try to not wear high heels as it's very bad for her back. Immediately after that conversation was over, her boss went over to her and told she no longer had to wear high heels to work.

But it was nuts. He was always making fun of her if she wore flats to work. The guy is a prick.

I'm very particular about what kind of heels I wear, I refuse to wear Stilettos (again) and spikes. They're so freaking uncomfortable and I'm afraid that my heel would break if I had spikes. I've had a shoe break on me once before, but thankfully I had a backup pair of flats-flip flops btw (thanks to my mom who always has spare shoes in the car) in the car, even though they were a couple of sizes too big for me. I've had my hair cut short before, the last time I had my hair short was when I was 13 (it was shoulder length), I might do it again but SO would hate me for it. My hair now is close to the small of my back (even longer when I straighten it) and when I turned 20 my aunt (she's a licensed cosmetologist) cut off 8 inches of my hair and straightened it for my birthday. SO is a good guy, don't get me wrong, but he doesn't go for girls with short hair and needless to say he wasn't to happy with me when I had my hair cut.

As for the hairstyle, I can't answer, because I won't go any shorter than my shoulders. My face is way too round and my hair is so fine and thin that it would look ridiculous.

I purposely buy my pants with the inseam a couple inches too long. Not so that they are covering my feet, but so that I can wear them with heels.

You have no idea how heels can make a very short girl with very short legs all of a sudden look very tall, elegant, and statuesque.

I HATE tennies and flat shoes. But I have to wear them to work 4 days a week. I absolutely hate how stumpy my legs look without a boost. And because of how short and curvy I am, I HAVE to wear pants that are skin tight in the hips and butt and knees, or else my lower body looks extremely fat.

1. The cut gives movement and depth to the hair that it would not have if it was all one length.

2. The proper length for pants to be worn with heels is so that the front of the pants cuff breaks just over the top of the foot, giving a nice line to the hem of the pants. If the pant leg covers the entire shoe and goes to the ground, the pants are too long and need to be hemmed. While some round toes shoes can look okay worn this way, the long pointy ones look best with pants. The effect is to elongate and slim the leg.

3. In my case, it was so I could put my face on in the car.

It depends on the heel. A spikier and taller one will kill my feet and back in pretty short order, but a thicker heel or a wedge is pretty doable for me for long periods of standing.

I wish I could pull off the haircut you were describing, I think it's cute, but my hair is far too curly. I need a haircut now, my layers are starting to grow out again....

[Boozy]

I don't understand the heels....I mean yeah it makes your leg look better and all that but DAMN they are painful and are really bad for you!

I hear ya, sister!

But sometimes I suck it up and wear them anyway. I feel sexy for a few hours, then go home and soak my feet in the bath.

Maybe some women aren't uncomfortable in high heels. Personally, I think flip-flops are really uncomfortable, but lots of other people don't seem to think so.

I think it was stylish to wear high heels with jeans back in the 80s, and it does seem that the style is coming back, along with quite a few other 80s fashions. I have noticed that some girls will wear these shoes that I guess could be considered "high heels." They have a heel on them, and they just barely cover the toes. I know it sounds horribly contradictory to say that they have a heel, but that I'm not sure if they should be considered "high heels," but they just look different than what I think of as "high heels."

Anyway, I've noticed some girls wearing these types of heeled shoes with jeans, and personally, I think it looks pretty attractive. But if a girl is uncomfortable wearing such a thing, then I don't want her to wear them.

Oh, as far as wearing heels in general? I may love the way they look, but I'd *never* ask someone to wear them...They are evil :P
