Tackle The Heights In Zebra Pumps
Here's how you learn to wear high heels. Pick out a pair that has a heel height you find comfortable when you try them on in the shoe store. Don't worry that your first pair may not look like those high-fashion stilettos; you'll get there.
When you get home, slip on your new pumps and stand in front of a full-length mirror admiring how gorgeous your feet and legs look in those shoes. Go ahead and dream a little about how to put together the right bold-colored outfits that will make your zebra pumps stand out all the more.
Next, if you haven't already done so, turn your body a little and look at your shoes from slightly different angles to get used to the heel height. Follow Mom's instructions: Stand up straight! You can even use that old posture trick of putting a book on your head if it will help.
Now, keeping legs together and feet forward, step out onto a floor with a hard, but not slick surface, or a low-pile carpet. Keep away from the shag rugs and the slick tiles; you could trip and hurt yourself when you're not used to walking in high heels. Walk slowly across a room, turn, walk back and stop. Did you wobble? If so, you need more practice.
Keep at it until you can walk, turn, walk and stop confidently like a runway model. They, too, had to learn how to walk in heels, so buy those zebra pumps you want and step out in your stripes!
