A Twist to Personification

 We see them in the halls of school everyday. We call them ferocious, demanding, in-style, and extremely hot. No, they are not what you think, the popular girls of the school. These are not even humans, but they have a mind of their own and cause heads to turn. This is my blog post about the inanimate object, high heels.

Marilyn Monroe once said; “I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” To me, heels are unlike any other shoe on the shelf due to the idea that they show power. Heels are equivalent to the president in the shoe world. We have flip flops to represent the people in poverty, sneakers to symbolize the everyday person, and flats to signify the upper class; however, the heel seems to always come out on top in the fashion world. Why you ask? Because heels give people dignity. Meg Ryan stated; “When I wear high heels I have a great vocabulary and I speak in paragraphs. I’m more eloquent. I plan to wear them more often.” The elegance heels bring out; the more educated, responsible, and classy us girls become. Along with the sophisticated heels that women can wear to refined events, we also have the edgy heels.

Daring heels have become wide spread throughout the United States. When we approach a shoe store there are many displays showing five inch heals with an assortment of patterns; such as the fierce cheetah prints, the tasteful glittery patterns, and the eye catching snake skin prints. With this new fashion trend, no one can stay away from these new stilettos because they give the ‘shoe’ a whole new name. Wearing these shoes makes a bold statement; they scream confidence. A typical boring girl would not have the confidence to put on a pair of stilettos with cheetah print on it and wear them in public, no matter how much she loved the shoes. Heels are definitely a confidence booster; they make you taller, they make your legs look longer, they are cute, and they are inexpensive. High heels show men power, dignity, nobility, and put them in awe.  

Last Tuesday I decided to live a day in my most daring heels and all of this was proven to be true to me. People would stare with shocking looks as to what I was wearing and I received numerous questions. Although I got an immense amount of weird looks, the overall outcome of my shoes was a great choice because it stood me apart from everyone else for a day. I did something out of the ordinary and for that I gained a lot of self confidence. High heels are a simple way to make a bold statement, I think all girls should wear them for at least one day in their lifetime.
