In case it isn’t obvious, we love reader mail. Because, honestly, we do care about everyone who takes five minutes out of their day to read what we write. And, plus, we’re on this new no-spending kick (it’s complicated, but it involves scrambling credit card account numbers and an allowance), it allows us to shop for a purpose - answering questions! So, send us more here!

Here is this morning’s question:

I’m almost six feet tall (medium build) and feel conflicted about wearing heels.  I love the way they look and therefore have pretty much worn them regularly the last few years regardless–especially since I now have dress up for work.  However, I am starting to wonder whether they make me look too much like a “giant”.  I am starting to try put a 2 1/2 inch limit on heel height for me, but what do you think–am I too tall to wear heels at all?

 

Thanks,

Alison

Ok. We cannot say emphatically enough WEAR YOUR HEELS. We so support wearing what you feel good in - and if you feel best in heels, wear them! We just wrote this huge thing about Katie Holmes not wearing heels because of her shorter husband and then erased it because it doesn’t really matter. She is not asking us for advice. Your second sentence says you love the way they look - that, for us, seals it. No question. You love wearing heels, and take it from us, it can be hard to dress up flats. Wear them, love them, and be confident in them!

We will leave you with lyrics from one of our favorite songs from our most favorite musical. Because we honestly think confidence is the most important thing in getting dressed in the morning. That, and having clean underwear.

I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!
