My Name Is Cynthia And I Have Too Many Shoes

I especially love ankle straps or T-Bars

I LOVE SHOES and I have lots of them! And I'm not the only one. 

So very obsessed and addicted that I have to actively refrain from buying them whenever I'm out at the mall. 

Ada satu hari tu, KP mintak iols temankan dia shopping. Dia nak beli kasut dan beg untuk kegunaan seharian bekerja. 

So tengah dia sibuk pilih-pilih kasut dia, iols pun merayau pegi bahagian pompuan.

Seolah sudah ditakdirkan, mata sis terpandang sepasang kasut chunky heels berwarna blush yang sangat menarik hati. Tangan ni macam terpanggil-panggil nak cuba kasut tu.

Tanpa berfikir panjang, iols pun capai dan segera menyarungkannya.

Wow!

Perasaan masa tu sangat sukar digambarkan kerana bukan sahaja design kasut itu menarik, perfect height, warnanya juga cantik dan yang paling menambat hati CPPS adalah ianya sangat selesa dipakai.

I feel so tall and sexy and confident.

Ala try je takpe. Ni kalau sedap-sedap, cantik, branded macam ni mesti mahal nih. ujar iols dalam hati sambil fefeeling depan cermin.

Bila CPPS belek melihat harga, terjojol mata kerana harganya sangat berpatutan! Less than RM100.

I GOTTA HAVE THIS!! 

Bila KP nampak iols berkenan sangat dan nak beli kasut tu, dia cakap

"Eh bukan you dah ada design, colour macam ni ke? Kenapa nak beli lagi?"

"Heeeelloooooooooooo. *snapsnapfingers* Tak sama hokay. You kena tau yang girls can never have too many shoes!"

Ramai lelaki tak boleh faham kenapa kita kena ada banyak kasut. Heyyy! Haruslah kena ada banyak kasut.

Different shoes are for different occasions sisturs.

Takkanlah nak pakai sports shoes masuk pejabat. Takkanlah nak pakai sandals/ballerina flats ke meeting/ jumpa client khennn?

Why Do We Love Shoes So Much?

Different shoes make us feel differently. Shoes, especially high heels transform our outfits and lift our mood.

Why is this so?

According to Helen Fisher, PhD, professor of anthropology at Rutgers University "Like most animals, we're wired to associate height with
power. High heels can literally raise your status because you're taller when you wear them."

I know righhhhhttttt. Especially for fun-size people like me. We really need the height boost. 

And When You Need A Sexy Boost?

Just put on a pair of stilettos! "When a woman wears them, she assumes a primal mating pose called lordosis," says Fisher. "Her butt lifts, and her back arches."

Instant butt lift wahai kawan-kawan.

Satu lagi, saiz kasut jarang berubah tidak kira umur atau saiz badan kita. Bukanlah macam size pakaian yang sangat menyakitkan hati dan sering mengecewakan. 

To quote someone "I've said goodbye to M size so long already!" LOL. 

Berbeza dengan kasut yang "instant mood booster". Putting on high heels lengthens our shape, changes the curve of our posture and that physical change can evoke an inner feeling of confidence and sexiness.

We are suddenly, taller, thinner, and shapelier. 

You never feel fat or ugly when you put on a pair of shoes right? The worse thing is just usually 

"Hmm. it's not right for the shape of my foot" but then you move on with your life and find other designs that complement your foot.

But let's say you try on a really nice dress, a lot of negative things can happen in the fitting room.

"Dang! this dress makes me look fat! My arms, arghhhh my arms! And I can't hide my spare tires. I look short. I'm ugly"

And you come out of the fitting room feeling ugly, fat, and worthless. Do you get me? Ahahahaha.

Anyway, to summarize, we love shoes because it's an emotional experience, they made us feel good!
