When I was younger I used to try my hardest not to stand out. I was very quiet and shy and didn’t dance. Very meek and mild and tried my hardest no to be noticed. But standing over 6ft tall as a woman it was very hard not to be noticed. So as I got older and more confident in myself I started to embrace my height and own it. In my 20s you couldn’t tell me nothing. I put on my heels and was on the dance floor all night. Life was fun! Before I got married and was working I used to love to get dressed up for work and put on my heels. AT one job they used to call me Barbie and I was even given a gift once by a co-worker of a beautiful Black Barbie doll that I proudly sat on my desk. Once I got got married and had my two boys I started to revert back to that meek and mild little girl for some reason. I started wearing muted colors, sweatsuits and yoga pants. I lost myself and with weight gain started to lose myself even more. Throughout life we all have our ups and downs that affect us in different ways. Depending on whats going on in my life or how I’m feeling. What I wear plays a big part in that. As a stay at home mom now who’s day to day is simply dropping the kids off somewhere and picking them up or running errands. I felt I didn’t really have the opportunity or need to get dressed up anymore.

I mean let’s be realistic I’m not chasing my boys around in these heels but I love to wear them and I love how they dress an outfit up. But what I like about this look is that I can easily swap out my heels for my mustard yellow vans or pointy yellow flats to hang out with my boys. But what I wanted to show in this post by wearing all of this bright yellow and these fierce heels is that yes I’m tall and I love it and I’m no longer trying to blend in. As they say, “Why try to fit in when you were born to stand out!”
Thank you for stopping by!
