OOTD 1/31/2012 - and the answer to...Why women need so many shoes?

As I was perusing a recent Redbook magazine, I ran across the article, "What Men Want to Know About Women."  The number one question men had was...."Why do women need so many shoes?"

Here's the witty answer given by Heather Cocks, co-founder of the celebrity fashion blog, Go Fug Yourself.

Shoes are a craving, like candy minus the calories. An especially hot pair can make us feel sexier, taller, and stronger, all without any creepy injectibles or carb-free crash diets. No matter what our drama — stress, bloating, breakups — shoes almost always fit, and if not, there's no guilt in going up a size. Not to mention that our wardrobes are as complicated as we are: Can I tuck those Jeans into boots, or are they stiletto-optimized? Do I need to wear my Triscuit-binge pants, which only take flats? Maybe an outfit requires brown shoes, but what shade? And if those brown shoes chafed my foot yesterday, then today I want a pair that won't hit the same spot. Hey, what would you guys prefer — that we stock up on actual crack?

I totally agree with Heather.  The right shoe can transform an outfit and give you that extra boost of confidence that you need to take the world by storm.  and there are so many different nuances that we need to consider when pulling a look together.

What's your opinion on the shoe issue...Can you relate to Heather?
