I am being possessed by an 80s groupie..

...or maybe my fashion sense is being warped by the fact that I am dating a sexy metal guitarist. Either way, I am now the shocked and terrified owner of a pair of leopard print spandex, faux leather skinny pants, faux leather high-heeled ankle boots, a faux leather lace up mini skirt and these - Read more... )

I usually just wear my tennis shoes or my boots. I never, EVER dress up. But now that I am going to be attending a lot of Nic's shows, I realized I do not have any dressy clothes. So I figured it might be a good time for me to explore my relationship with heels.

Because they play tiny dinky bars and I won't be moving around much :P

Try to remember not to walk too heel-to-toe - basically, pretend you're not wearing the shoe and that you're just up on your toes. Posture is very important, so make sure you don't slouch or you'll walk stumpy. I see it all the time at work.
A lot of it's just practice. Try wearing them around for a couple of days, because it does take a while for your body to adjust to balancing that way.

This is the most useful bit of advice I've gotten yet. Danke!

I just bought a pair of 6 inch heels, so I'm having to remind myself of the basics again, because they're really hard even for me to walk in.

I'll be sure to take some and embarrass myself all over the internet XD

That sounds awesome actually. I have two pairs of leopard skinny pants myself, though, so I'm biased.

Oh 80s groupie phantom, how she loves to rear her (haha) personality on us unsuspecting '00s. My advice is practice. I too shy away from heels and every time I have to wear them (usually for big fancy events with people looking at me and cameras making me nervous) I wear them around the house for a while before going out then walk real slowly heh.
