Last year, I bought online some more sensible 'block heels' only 2.5" high - black suede ankle boots, for going out with rather than posing at home. First time I wore them felt great, though they took some getting used to when walking on solid concrete. After a few times wearing them, one local lady said she loved them & would wear them herself!
Fast forward to this weekend, I went out to a local bar wearing the boots, girls jeans with subtle flower embroidery, a girls see-through blouse over a female tank tee, eye-liner & nail polish. Nobody got upset if they even noticed that much.
It's all good, as I add a little bit more each time ;-) xoxo
