Show Me Your Closet

I love high heels as you know curvy divas and I can't stand it when they are uncomfortable. Why should something so gorgeous and necessary be so uncomfortable?! Little did I realize that a simple trick lies between me and comfort! It's all in the placement of the heels. The width of the heels and the base/support part of the shoe. I must say I had this down prior but did not realize it. Yes, my comfort heels that I can walk in all day are like the 3cm. The heels that I loved and purchase but never sees the light of day are like the 2cm.  No wonder! What a simple and "neat" idea! # simplicityinstyling

According to  Author, Nicole Akhtarzad on whowhatwear.com , there are worst things you can do to your shoes; that is, things you absolutely should not be doing.  Let's face it, most women, myself included are shoe-o-holics!

ASOS on a Roll Laced Up Shoes I. Love. Shoes.  No wonder I had to name this section...articles about shoes.... Oh My Shoegasm !

Tis the season for boots. Short ones, booties, ankle-length ones, and extra tall ones! The extra talls (as I call them) are the over-the-knees type that I have been seeing for several seasons now but not brave enough to wear one.  I have never owned one, and as a fashion blogger I have never tried one on.   Bell Thigh High Boots as seen on Keep However, after reading the Keep article and seeing all the fabulous photos of some gorgeous choices of these tall legends, I'm nodding my head and saying, "Yes"  because I need an over the knees boots!

Have you felt that change in the air? Do you have that feeling of summer being over? It is a resounding "Yes" and "Yes" to both questions isn't it curvy divas? While the calendar has not officially announced the end of Summer which comes in a few calendar days. The air is not as humid and Labor Day holiday has come and gone. Those are usually my markers to begin looking to Fall aka Autumn.

To continue in the theme of my Christmas re-posts curvy divas. When I wrote today's linked article, Bondage, the title was quite tongue-in-cheek, but quite apt because of what I was wearing!

I hope you had a fabulous time with your families curvy divas. This article was written a year ago. However, I didn't publish it here.  It was actually supposed to be published elsewhere and never got seen.  I'm adding it to my re-post list, especially because it is the perfect season!  The shoes in the previous write up were from last year and are no longer available at Macy's.  Not to worry, Macy's had some great replacements! With Christmas around the corner, let's talk shoes. At this time of the year, we look for more dressy-type shoes with a bit of added sparkles to complete our holiday style.  Here are some great finds from Macy's.

You know what curvy divas ?  Sometimes I think I have a lot of shoes. Then when I look at what I've been wearing over the last couple of months, I realized that I'm just not wearing all of the shoes I do own. I tend to go for the ones I like more often; read comfort!   If there's nothing else we want is to have a great looking pair of heels, and if they could be comfortable too , well....that would make my year!   If I do remember to do it, I like taking a photo of the shoes I wear when I'm all dressed up!
