They have been my companion since I was a child... every
steps I take, the sad walk to the cemetery when my grandmother died, the happy
walk on every Recognition Day in school, my every step to attend classes during
college – they carried me patiently, they never left my side, or I should have
said my ‘feet’!
At first my mom buys them
for me. Then I was asked to choose and mom still pays for each pair. Until I
get to have a chance to pick and pay for them, I bought one from my very first
salary. They are my SHOES, my constant companion. Unlike your boyfriend, shoes
will be there for you till the day you choose to let go…
Ladies, women, girls any way you wanted to be called, I know
you have your favorite pair of shoes! And here are some interesting facts and
tips about SHOES:
1. Pointed-triangular
shaped shoes make you (not just your feet) look sexier. I
assessed it before as looking-like dwarf shoes
JBut it is not! A
friend, Cielita Cruzada gave me the idea. I was looking around
Glorietta , in Makati while seeing different women and observe what the pointed shoes make them. Because of its longer and narrow toe part, a
pair would create an illusion that you are taller and thinner.
2. Strapped sandals are the best for ladies with smooth skin
especially fairer complexion. Detailed designs complement the feet’s skin and
makes one’s feet attractive. Proof of
this, my feet (before not now lol) have always been noticed when I am wearing
the very simple silver and strapped Rusty Lopez sandals.
4. Wedges look good with petite women – the added height
from the heels flatters the look.
5. Half-shoes look elegant on shorts and skirt on not so
formal occasions.
6. Stilletos are never meant for jeans and tights unless you
want to look like a hooker. Models
are may be exempted here.
7. The formality of any suit or wardrobe disappears the
moment you see it paired with slip-ons and sandals. It should have been worn with
full-shoes flat or heeled.
8. Suede material (like a bald furry leather)is hard to
maintain and keep nice for longer use.
9. I found gold-colored
shoes the nicest to wear – whatever color of your clothes! It just appears like another gold jewelry from
that you’re wearing, so elegant and expensive-looking. Not a shoe but stands as
an accessory too that goes perfectly with what you are wearing.
Brown shoes pair with anything as if it was an extended skin
especially if leather.
Silver shoes look good too but it ranks third on my
best-shoe-color list. As I look at my feet wearing silver sandals, I can see an
aura of age on it. I am not sure if it
just my complexion that created that aura.
Shoe colors, apart
from gold, brown and silver or even black are best worn on clothes having the
same or matching lighter or darker shade of it like a blue, yellow, purple,
peach, orange etc. Red has become acceptable, I saw it on Mango Bags then later
on shoes of brand I am not aware of even the watches with red bracelets become
a trend that no matter what one wears, red became a match.
For me, black is just (or BEST) for uniforms, unless with a gorgeous
design seems dull, uninteresting and does not exudes an air of
elegance. I recommend it for school or office uniforms only.
10. Metal accessories on shoes are best – found on the right
places. Sometimes depending on the
occasion where you plan to wear the shoes and the quantity of decoration. If you are a dancer or a show girl or celebrity- metal embellishments are ordinary. But
if you are not, you will probably look one.
11. Brand new shoes
are still the best choice than buying from thrift shops called ‘ukay’. I love
“Ukays” but when buying shoes, I don’t recommend it. Learning from experience,
although sometimes branded, they don’t last longer anymore being secondhand. It is either the straps pulls out or the leather chips
off with just so short span of time after you bought it. Repair is
just a waste, I even have one stitched but it just let me down on
a very important event I have attended.
I just can’t resist the brand and
design of the shoes but to end-up regretting later on.
Rubber shoes MAY last longer bought from a thrift shop being
made from more sturdy materials.
12. Never buy shoes
unless you are really ready to buy.
I mean unless you have a good budget. Shoe price denotes quality. It
does not require signature brands but at least of high-grade materials. What can you expect from a cheap pair? Of course manufacturers or re-sellers tag
their products according to materials with a mark-up cost for profits. PU or
synthetic leather shoes are cheaper. Leather costs thrice or more depending on
the material but are guaranteed to last longer than synthetic leather since it
is just layered with man-made components, chipping will come soon.
Calculating the money
you spent for all the cheap shoes you bought being thrifty makes you more
unwise seeing the last pair you bought is not wearable anymore. Even you just have three or just two pairs or
even just a single pair of quality shoes, it will bring you to far places J
