From Jumps 2 Pumps!
vs
Maybe I have grown to love my pumps, heels, wedges, platforms, stilettos a little too, too much. Yes, I’m guilty, just like almost every other girl in the universe! The way they make me feel and look, the way they shape my body, the way they drive the men crazy are just a few reasons why you will rarely see me in anything else. A tiny part of me blames Sex and the City and their focus on shoes for accepting and making my addiction and ok thing by the way!!
As a teenager, I felt the same way about my sneakers!! Never did I show up to school or to the mall on the weekends without the newest, freshest pair of Jordan’s or Nike Air Max’s! Clean, fly sneakers made me feel cool and it definitely let me express my fashion sense, especially in middle school where we had to wear uniforms! Yuk! I remember even competing with the boys to see who had the most recent and popular jumps. I’d go as far as making my mom take me to L.A so I could make sure I’d walk thru my school halls in the latest J’s. I loved getting compliments from the basketball team on my shoes (giggling).
Now jumps are for fun and pumps…well my pumps are a lifestyle! Although my personality and attitude have stayed tomboyish, my look and style have definitely evolved to a classy, sassy, sexy, grown woman! Tennis shoes imply a comfortable and chill look, even a playful, teenage look and a woman like me is not willing to sacrifice looking like that more than once in a while. A 26 year old, like me shouldn’t pull off that young girl/tomboy look every day in my opinion! It’s cute but that’s all it’ll b. We women are in the big, bad world now, where people take you seriously and it’s all about first impressions! With heels, you can dress up or dress down without losing the “grown, sophisticated woman look”. One never knows who they will bump into out in the street.
From putting on a pair of Jessica Simpson wedges with some jeans to putting on some BEBE stilettos with a pin skirt or a dress, my legs elongate and my body takes a new shape and form! The calves in my legs pop out more; it’s amazing what a pair of high heels can do. I can be in the worst mood or the laziest mood when I wake up, but when I get dressed and that pair of pumps go on my feet it transforms my attitude and feelings. Once they are on I can’t wait to walk out the door and show off my legs, outfit, body and most of all those shoes I love so much! I dare anyone to mess with me in my heels!
I know a lot of men would say they don’t really care as long as a woman looks good, and of course they would say that, they’re men!! Girls with a nice sneaker game are a total package for them. Two things men love, women and sneakers! Put them both together, we got a winner. But at the end of the day, a mature, real man knows the difference between jumps and pumps on a female! I want that man! I want that man that can’t resist me or take his eyes off me in a pair of stilettos. The man that will know and can’t wait until I take everything off but my pumps behind closed doors!
