Do you prefer to wear something fancy or frugal on your feet? Whether you’re a sexy stiletto-heel wearer or a fan of sporty sneakers, your shoes speak volumes about your personality. According to research, Mindset Media revealed that people who purchased more than three pairs of shoes a year are likely to be assertive and spontaneous leaders. To keep your shoes from making you look like a snooze even if you’re a snazzy lady, check out this fun guide to help you figure out what your heels reveal so that you can match your feelings to your flip flops and your boots to your behavior.
Shoe Style: Super-high heeled stilettos
Character Footprints: Sexy, confident, and walking with intentions.
Perfect Personality Picks: These Oh… Deer! Jamocha T-Strap Pumps and Peep Toe Pumps.
Toe-Tapping Tip: Walk around the store before buying very high heels to make sure you aren’t choosing shoes that you can’t walk in. While stilettos are sexy, a public fall certainly is not.
Shoe Style: Ballet Slippers
Character Footprints: Soft, casual, and comfortable in all environments.
Perfect Personality Picks: These Tory Burch Ballet Flats and these Suede Knotted Ballet Flats.
Toe-Tapping Tip: Ballet slippers tend to stretch with wear, so to avoid having shoes that slip off after a few walks, consider purchasing a slightly snug size and breaking them in at home.

Shoe Style: Wedge-Heeled Shoes
Character Footprints: Stylish, feminine and always sure-footed.
Perfect Personality Picks: These espadrille wedges and these wedge sandals.
Toe-Tapping Tip: Wedges are perfect for outdoor events where you’d like to wear heels. Unlike regular pumps, wedges won’t sink into the grass.

Shoe Style: Flip Flops
Character Footprints: Youthful, laid-back and unpolished
Perfect Personality Picks: These Juicy Couture Flip Flops and these embellished flip flops.
Toe-Tapping Tip: If you feel flip flops are too comfortable to take off, consider purchasing flip flop-styled sandals made of leather (like these) for a more put-together look.
Shoe Style: Knee-High Boots
Character Footprints: Daring, powerful and not afraid to be noticed
Perfect Personality Picks: These Steve Madden Leather Knee Boots and these fashion forward boots.
Toe-Tapping Tip: If you see knee-high boots that you like but find that the material isn’t forgiving enough to zip up over your calf muscle, don’t despair. Take your pair to a cobbler, who can easily insert a color-coordinated elastic panel at the seams to give the boots the stretch you need. 
Shoe Style: Sneakers
Character Footprints: Besides being athletic, not fussy and constantly on the go traits also include being assertive, spontaneous and a leader.
Perfect Personality Picks: These New Balance 759 Walking Shoes and these The North Face ‘Cooper’s Hill’ Running Shoes.
Toe-Tapping Tip: Wearing sneakers without socks causes your shoes to smell, so if you’re in love with your sneaks but hate the way they look with slouchy socks, invest in “hidden” socks that only cover the base of your foot and heel. Available at all department stores, these socks will bring added comfort and lengthen the life of your sneakers. 
Shoe Style: Slip-On Slides
Character Footprints: Dainty, elegant and ultra-girly.
Perfect Personality Picks: These dress slides and these Spotspot Slides.
Toe-Tapping Tip: Slides aren’t wearable by everyone and some women’s walking styles create a constant clacking sound when they’re in shoes without heels. If you gait isn’t a perfect fit with your slides, start investing in shoes with a heelp strap to avoid annoying others.

So does this ring true?
So, take it from me…someone who just indulged in the pedicure adventure this weekend. She is right on the money!!! OMG
Having the love of your life break up with you and say “we can still be friends” is like your dog dying and your mom saying “you can still keep it.”
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants…have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.
-Walt Whitman
Words are powerful! They carry a lot of meaning beyond just a definition. Came across this blog on polarization and how we actually live in a grey world, which I completely agree with. This is even more important given our political race this year, economic downfalls, university gun shootings, war, and everything else going on in the world around us. Instead of negative words, let’s use powerful positive words and take a stand to look at what is right with the world and people getting along and doing right by each other. Even though expletives get you on AOL news when you curse on the Today Show, like Jane Fonda. Way to go Jane!
So choose your words wisely and become an awesome wordsmith today!
