Im pretty tall, 5’8 and Im still in highschool (16). I really love shoes, especially the platforms and pumps everyone else seems to love too. Im just wondering how I should wear them and anyone else who does wear shoes like that. Do you wear them to school? How tall are you? and just advice in general
Thanks! <3>

i’m the same height – which i don’t consider that tall. or at least, i never feel tall really. I wear heels and don’t think anything of it (my bf, who’s shorter than me anyways, loves it!) so don’t hesitate to grab a cute pair, even if others make remarks (it IS highschool, after all). tall chicks rule, and i bet you’d look smashing in some oxford pumps or whathaveyou.
when i was in (catholic!) high school, i’d wear these loafer-style chunky heels (it was the 90’s) with black tights and the navy kilt we had to wear. but i only really bust out the heels on special occasions now – a bit impractical for art school, plus my knees don’t like prolonged heel-wearing anymore, which i think is due to the fact i wore them everyday for five years. so, if i were to give advice, i would say take it easy on the heels on a daily basis – it’s hard on your body and you want to wear heels when you want for the rest of your life!

I’m only 5’4” and also 16 yrs. old. I ADORE platforms and pumps and I get a bit too dressy for school sometimes but I like it. Usually depending on weather I’d wear my heels with shorts or skirts if not a great pair of skinnies. They’re really versatile so you can dress it up or down depending on your mood. (:

5’ 7’’, 23 yrs old. love shoes… but i don’t wear heels for college, because I go to an art/design school so I wear them when I go out (at night, or lunch with friends).
I agree with foxhuntvintage, wearing heels on a daily basis it’s hard on your body, that’s why I choose to wear them on special occasions.

Aah Annabel (who is always very sweetly dressed) just wore platforms and she is 5’10”. She is a good example
