We know, we know -- high heels can be hard to walk in (especially when you're carrying a giant diaper bag and, um, another human being), are impractical, can lead to foot pain and back pain and yadda yadda yadda... But c'mon, they look fabulous, and they make your legs look gorgeous.

If all you have in your closet are sensible flats, sneakers and boots, it's time to indulge in a pair of "shoes," girlfriend. Not shoes you can wear to the office, the playground or playgroup, but the kind of shoes that say, "Take me out, and show me off!" Head turning shoes. Naughty-girl shoes. Dancing shoes. Strut your stuff shoes. And if you only wear them once a year, that's okay too.
