Celebrating the humble flat

I love shoes. No, correction. I love FLATS. Fashion mags will talk about how you should invest in a pair of killer heels. They scream instant sex appeal, leggier pins and give you instant height advantage over your enemy. And then they conveniently forget the part where high heels are the last things you wanna be seen in when posing walking around for longer than half an hour. And that, my friends, is why flats are a much better investment. Flat ballet shoes, flat walking shoes, flat sandals, flat boots, flat espadrilles, flat trainers, flat EVERYTHING!!!! (NB. flat boobs not included.) Forget the apples; a pair of flatties everyday keeps the doctor miles away. Besides, any heel 3 inches or higher makes me look like a stumpy stump of a tree. I think only short people will get that. Even so, I am what I am (short), and flats make me look real. Yup, I can definitely identify with flats.

Look at these pretties and tell me you're not convinced.

Ugly, impractical and massively expensive

VS.

Super comfy, has that element of laidback cool, and will not break your piggy bank!

My personal favourite - somebody plissss buy for me? :(

You're probably wondering why I'm so fired up about flats all of a sudden. 'Tis the mid season sale in London and I am going MAD over the variety of discounted flats on the high street. I can't concentrate on my work cos I keep thinking of flat shoes! If only I had all the money in the world and I could buy up every beautiful pair of flats with a *swipe* of my credit card. Mmm. Happy happy happy I would be. (I can imagine MF going, "Dream la dream.")
