Mom on Heels

If it’s not yet quite obvious in most of my posts, I’ll say it anyway… I love fashionable clothes, shoes, and almost all things kikay as well as those not exactly feminine fashion trends. I feel in control when I feel put together, which doesn’t always mean an elegant dress, a brushed-up hair do and a pair of heels. For me, it could simply mean a pretty ensemble, a “no-make-up” make-up look, and anything comfy.

Other than being comfortable the outfit needs to be functional. However, when it comes to shoes, I often choose heeled shoes of some sort, something a bit less functional for some women maybe, but for someone who finds it kinda hard to balance with flat feet, I’m a 5 feet 9 inches tall girl with a pretty small small feet, 7 ft to be exact… I do prefer those heels. 

I love shoes so much but I am not the type who splurge in shoe shopping. But I do have a number of decent pairs that I have kept through the years.

Before I had my daughter, I wore nothing but heels and the only pair of flats I owned were my sneakers, designated for my errand days. But since I got pregnant, It’s been all about sneakers and flats and I stop looking at those nice displays in the mall just so I won’t get tempted to buy another pair of high-heeled shoes. And I haven’t bought one until now.
Why? Because I had a very sensitive pregnancy, and after giving birth via cesarian section, obviously, the least I could think about is straining my scar with the use of something as fancy as a pair of high-heeled shoes on my daily walks.

I miss the way I feel in heels, the way they instantly transform an outfit, the way it keeps me balanced to avoid tripping-over. 

Two years post-childbirth, I was able to try wearing those heels again (refer to the photos). Being a full-time mom, I felt fantastic while I was doing those simple errands on heels. I am proud mom on heels.

And it got me thinking, there’s nothing really wrong if you want to look more comfy, if you want to be a mom on heels, there’s nobody putting these restrictions on us, is there? Then I thought to myself, I am dressing for myself, not for other people, and it’s making me feel better about myself so why give a big fuss about it, right? 

So I’m making a promise to ignore my inner “practical mom voice” once in a while and be a little daring in this sense, wearing my heels more often regardless if I’m running an errand with my daughter or not. I want to feel more confident as much as I can, and if a fancy pair of shoes helps me get there, then by all means, why not? I guess every woman should. 

I have one problem, however. I noticed that after giving birth, my feet grew a few centimeters bigger. That I can no longer wear some of my favorite pairs of heels. I recently bought a new dress. All I need is a pair of high heels to complete my outfit! I found a few pairs I liked online at zalora.com.ph.
