Fashion 101 - Must Have Shoes for Every Woman

Cinderella …. Shoes …. Prince Charming ….

If shoes are worn well will bring out a woman’s beauty and increases the chance of meeting one’s prince charming.

Most women will agree that shoes are good investments. We are often tempted to overspend on a pair of shoes. And there would never be enough shoes, despite the fact that we owned several shoes in our closet. We love wearing shoes that would make our feet cuter and sexier, oftentimes sacrificing comfort over painful blisters. 
Statistics show that the average woman has approximately 19-21 pairs of shoes in her closet and women from more developed places own approximately 30-50 pairs. Incomprehensible? …  to men, maybe! Women around the world are in perfect harmony that we needed more shoes than men! 
In order to have a better understanding of the science behind the pandemonium over shoes, I asked fifty (50) women of different ages regarding the number of shoes they owned, how frequent they buy shoes, the reason/s of owning more than 1 pair of shoes, and what kind of shoes every woman should have. And here’s the verdict:
Pair of Shoes
Most of the women (40%) interviewed owned at most 10 pairs, 30% have 11 to 20 pairs, 16 % and 14 % possessed 21-30 and 30 and above pairs, respectively. 
Frequency of Buying Shoes
80% - every three months; 20% - every month
Reasons of Owning Shoes
Sense of fashion; to boost one’s self esteem; to gain admiration from men as well as other women; to feel good; to show-off cute /sexy feet; and to drive other women peers into fit of jealousy.
Must have shoes
1. Flats. Women of all ages usually uses flat shoes because of the comfort our feet feels when we put one.  Though shorter women tend to avoid wearing flat heels, it is recommended to wear such especially for those who are using high heels. Flats help our feet/legs relax without giving away the stylish looks we desire.

• On-the-Go Shoes or more popularly called, Ballet/Ballerina Flats. Perfect to go with everyday dresses and jeans/t-shirts. Buy a stylish one, preferably with glitter-finish. These became popular after Hollywood star Audrey Hepburn wore them with a pair of skinny jeans in a 1957 film “Funny Face”.

• Strap Flats or Flat Sandals – are best alternative to flip-flops, since they are much cooler and sexier.  I wore sandals when I want to go casual for just lazing around.  Just make sure that you have cleaned toes/nails before wearing them.

Basic work shoes sometimes called ‘classic pumps’ in mid-heels or high heels. This pair goes perfectly with your office outfits, then to your evening engagements. It will never let you down. They are also often referred as stilletos that make a woman’s legs longer, and add sex appeal.
