Heels are every female friend, it is never missing in their shoe rack, both young and old use it, although, the kind worn differs. While growing I had always watched different categories of people wear high heels, I can’t help but just believe I will wear them someday. I could not afford one, neither could I tell my parent to get me one.
I had always known heels to give a boost of confidence the way I see people walk in them, but I never had a feel until last year when my sister had to gift me one as a birthday gift. It was a great gift to me because it was what I had always wanted. Guess what I realized after wearing it?
High heels are capable of giving you confidence, giving you a new look, and getting your attention. Yes, because I felt weird wearing it at first, but when I got comfortable, I was walking on another level and it got attention to me, majorly because of my body type.
