On September 25th I turned forty, the big 4-0. It’s so funny to me that when I was in my teens and 20s I used to think that turning 40 was really the end.  I used to think it was so old and as the expression goes, “Over the Hill”. But now that I have turned 40, I definitely don’t feel the same way.  I may be a bit bias now that I am 40, but I honestly don’t feel old at all.  I actually feel a certain type of invigoration and motivation to make this next chapter in my life the absolute best.  I feel as though I can do and accomplish anything. In fact I am motivated to do so much right now. I am truly looking forward to my 40s and all that these years have to offer.  40 and fabulous,  my new motto!  Cheers to turning 40 and loving it!

It seems just about daily I get a message, email or comment from tall young girls and women alike who battle with the decision of whether or not they should wear heels.  I am a firm believer that you should rock whatever makes you feel comfortable, confident and your best.  For some women that is a pair of killer pumps, and for others, it is a pair of fierce flats.  For a tall woman I don’t think either choice is wrong or right, because we are blessed with the gift of height, and that makes us stand tall alone, no matter what we are standing in or on.  What I do think is important, is the knowledge that we have the option to wear either, or and look just as good in both.  I truly despise those that make the comments such as,  “you’re already tall, so why do you need heels?”  The fact is I don’t “need” them.  I know I’m tall and I love it.  I “choose” to wear them sometimes, because I like the way they look and the way I look in them, depending on what I am wearing.  But guess what, I also love to wear flats, because they are more conducive to my everyday lifestyle.  Anyway I wrote all of this to say.  Don’t let others dictate what you should or shouldn’t wear as a tall girl. We have the common bond of being tall, but we are all individuals.  Wear the shoe height that YOU like,  that makes YOU feel the most comfortable, and beautiful in.  Just remember as a tall girl, no matter what, your height is always on fleek! Stand tall, stand beautiful, stand proud, but most importantly stand in whatever shoes you want, as long as they fit..(we do not look good with our toes hanging off the edge of our sandals)…hehe
