Unwrapping a new pair of strappy sandals just makes your heart skip a beat. The delicate footwear makes us feel feminine and powerful. Just like Carrie Bradshaw we see us kicking our heels together for a great night out whenever we’ve made the decision to go for our favorite heels.
Although kitten heels and ballet flats have recently dominated the runways, strappy sandals will forever hold a special place in our hearts and our wardrobes. They’re the definition of the well known feeling of dressing as our alter ego. The person that we dream of being or occasionally turn into. And wearing heels isn’t a spontaneous act for most of us. We wear heels when we feel our best. The circumstances have to be right. The occasion should be fun, a little boogie, and shouldn’t require a practical effort. And because all of these thoughts go into the strategy of wearing heels, the picture of us wearing heels has time to manifest in our heads. Therefore the special feeling towards the strappy sandals.
