Red Shoe Diaries

It all started when I bought the red heels. Luscious candy apple red heels. Just the perfect amount of sassy.

Turning 25 was just around the corner, and I wanted some fantastic shoes to wear on my big day. When I found THE pair, I knew they were the perfect accessory to complement my outfit. I wasn't entirely thrilled about turning 25 (which I now know is so silly) but those heels were just what I needed. It's as if they gave (and give) me an extra boost of confidence. Perfect example: this shy girl sang karaoke for the first time while wearing those heels.

They've become a staple item in my wardrobe. Anytime I want to jazz up an outfit, I grab them. Anytime I just want to feel unstoppable, those are my go-to shoes.

Exhibit A


Aren't they lovely?

I think deep down the heels symbolize a pivotal point in my life. Being 25, on my own, supporting myself, with the road of life in front of me. I can go any direction, learn from past mistakes and teach myself how to be better. I can become whomever I want to be and learn whatever I want and need to learn. The only obstacle is fear of the unknown, but I can't let it get in the way. My red heels and I are excited for the road ahead.

What is your go-to accessory when you want to wow the world?
