It’s A Women’s World

I am fascinated by women who can wear high heel shoes. I have never been able to do so, and with age, my learning curve is going down. All women look great in high heels but for those of us who have not mastered wearing them it is not a flattering look. No one looks their best when they had just fallen flat on their butt.

I belong to an elite group of women who have big feet. I have a difficult time finding shoes that fit well and an even more difficult time finding good high heel shoes. I do a lot of running around in my everyday life and I rely upon flat shoes. Although I can appreciate the look of high heel shoes and what it does for the legs of the woman who wears them, I have pretty much given up on wearing them myself.

Wearing high heel shoes makes your legs look longer, leaner and more toned. They also make you look taller and your butt look perkier. High heel shoes were a great invention and addition to the fashion world but we have all seen a woman come crashing down while wearing them. We’ve even seen the professionals, the models go tumbling down.

One type of high heel shoes that has become wildly popular in the last few years, the pointy toe variety, drives me crazy. They always remind me of the pointy shoes the witch in Wizard of Oz was wearing when the house fell on top of her. Perhaps it is my giant feet and the way in which such shoes accentuate their enormousness that makes me detest the pointy toe high heel shoes. All I know for sure is that I hate them with a passion and want them to go away soon.

I dream of the day where business casual means a blazer and some running shoes. I adore my running shoes and any kind of flat tennis shoe because they are the most comfortable shoes in the world. I think that running shoes are more comfortable than flip-flops and I would wear them all day every day if I could. I have gotten away with tennis shoes a few times at the office but unfortunately it can’t be a regular thing. Maybe I need to look for different kind of job where the uniform comes with a pair of giant Adidas running shoes.

It would seem that watches are not as necessary as they use to be. Most people that carry a cell phone tend to use them to tell the time. They find that they don’t need to wear watches any longer, especially if they don’t like to wear them for whatever reason. Ladies watches are still as popular, as they are often an accessory as well as a way to tell time. There are some who may never use them for time, but they would feel naked if they didn’t have one on. Thankfully, there are some great styles and brands out there from which to choose.

I wore ladies watches for a very long time. I never usually bought them though, as they were usually gifts. The hard part about giving the gift of ladies watches is that you really have to know what a woman likes before you buy something like that for her. My husband once spent a lot of money on a watch for me, but he got one that was gold. I never wear gold, and it did not go with anything else that I owned. I would go without jewelry just to wear the watch for him. It was soon in the drawer because I didn’t wear it very often and it clashed with everything else that I wore.

If you want to buy ladies watches for the special female in your life, you have to know what she likes. Something as simple as buying the wrong type of metal will be a big mistake. Look at the necklaces and the bracelets she might wear. If she doesn’t wear them, look at her wedding ring, if she has one. Women tend to choose one type of metal and that is what they wear exclusively. Some prefer gold, but some prefer silver. If you can get the right type of metal, you have half of the battle won.

After that, you might be on your own when choosing ladies watches. You could see what she has and buy something that is similar. Just remember that even though they tell time, many ladies see these as an accessory and they won’t wear or use it unless they really like it. They do make great gifts and you can find great prices around the holidays. You can also find some great ladies watches online if you search around, like on e-Bay.
