Attending a recent public event in my small town brought me to a disturbing conclusion. In the rural areas of Arizona, clunky, chunky, bulky shoes are considered stylish. I shuddered as I watched a large woman with big black clodhoppers walk to the front of the room. Dressed all in black, she probably assumed her outfit was slimming. What she didn't realize, was the bigger and bulkier your shoes are, the bigger they make you look. Other women were guilty of that fashion-shoe crime, most of them rather large ladies. The few thin women who were wearing big, chunky shoes had an opposite sort of unpleasant effect. The shoes seemed to be weighing them down, making the top parts of their bodies look too thin.
If only people would stop to look in the mirror once in a while and STUDY the image projected before them with a CRITICAL EYE. Then maybe there wouldn't be so many fashion crimes against humanity.
Remember, the bigger you are and the bigger the item of clothing or shoe is, the bigger it's going to make you look. The smaller you are, the more sickly a large clothing item or shoe is going to make you look. Never fail.
