Shoes and the Fashionista Girl: Everything starts down there...at our feet

Uniquely yours… for less!

We all remember the moment when our obsession with shoes took root. We were playing dress-up and grabbed a few of mom's shoes from her closet. We slipped our little feet into those heels and imagined ourselves grown-up, beautiful and confident. Bette Midler once said, "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world."

Our fascination with shoes is one link that connects all women regardless of culture, background, age, political preferences... We have a common goal: to own as many pairs of shoes as there are grains of sand at the beach.

Stories of shoes and love stories of the women who wore them are many. Each story is a testimony to women's innate knowledge that she'll get what she wants (the guy) if she wears the right pair of shoes. Let's face it: all that we do, we do for love.

Two of our favorite shoe stories:

Cinderella: The quintessential shoe fashionista

Cinderella understands the empowerment given by the "perfect pair of shoes". (Lucky her, she didn't have to break the piggy bank to get them.) The fairy godmother places her feet in crystal slippers (the central character of this story), and then she's ready to go to the ball. She makes an entrance, she dances with the guy. They dance and they dance... she waits for him to make his move. They dance so much that her feet start to hurt...

So she decides to let her crystal shoes do the talking, since they are the secret key to the guy's heart. She dashes down the stairs and lets one shoe slip off... And ah, her gentleman prince runs to fetch it. His heart is captured by those crystal shoes, which represents his kind of girl's personality. We all know the rest of the story. She got what she wanted because she wore the right pair of shoes.

The Wizard of Oz: Wicked desire

We all know there's no real wizard in the Wizard of Oz, but did you know that there is another girl in the story--besides Dorothy and her ruby slippers-- who is mad for shoes?

During one scene, the Wicked Witch of the West says, "I am not waiting forever to get those shoes." See? One more validation! All women have the same urge (more shoes, preferably red, in this case)... even the Wicked Witch of the West! As Christian Louboutin once said, "The red shoes, they are 'follow me' shoes".

From fiction to reality

We want more designer shoes, and we're not willing to wait for the economy to get better and our piggy bank to get fatter. Alas, there is no shoe fairy, or wizard for that matter... but you can always seize other fashionistas' shoes from their closets (remember, the shoes always fit--if you are the same shoe size).

At consignista.com we have a selection of shoe styles from other fashionistas' closets, including Decollete Christian Louboutin black pumps (a basic in any shoe closet), Stuart Weitzman platform pumps in nude patent leather (a must have neutral), and Jimmy Choo patent leather flats (always sensible to have). We also have ultra-trendy Stuart Weitzman suede boot wedges and Stuart Weitzman retro-style platform sandals. All for a price worth seizing.
