Wu Wear

I don't know about you but lately I have needed a little wu saw in my life.  A little yoga, a little neo soul, a little hot bath (actually a LONG hot bath), A LOT of prayer...basically anything to take the stress out of my life.

One color that is usually associated with CALM is white so I thought I would put together some tall fashions that I like to call Wu Wear.

13 Wishes

This is the worst! You go on a shoe site and see some killer shoes. You click your shoe size to narrow down the results and BAM nothing but fugly shoes. So disheartening! For example, I went to a site put in size 13 and an entire page of these in different colors popped up:

NOT OK!

This prompted me to search high and low for pretty sandals up to size 13 because NOBODY should subject their feet to this hot mess.  Enjoy (big smile:)!

Flats in a Flash

We all have those days when our feet are screaming and we need a cute flat in a flash. Voila! The Corso Como Festive from Exceptional Footprints is the perfect remedy. They are super compact, cute flats that come in a travel bag so you can take them where ever you go. Your little emergency flat in a glass:)

One point of advice...order your regular size.  I was so excited that the Festive came in sizes 11 to 14 that I got a 13 instead of my regular 12. Why Alicia? SMH...they run true to size so make sure that you order the size that you usually wear (my 12's are on the way YIPEEE!).

Check out the Festive from Exceptional Footprints now...hurry, they are going fast!

 

Size Matters...?

It never fails. You see a fine, tall man coming towards you. Score! You fix your hair and put on that “hey, how ya doin?” smile only to look down and see that he is holding the hand of a person half his size that you couldn’t even see because his tall shadow eclipsed her. Recognizing he’s off limits you walk by singing “another one bites the dust” in your head.

Now, I am not knocking love. I would never hate on someone in a relationship. I just don’t get how it works.  How do you have a passionate kiss without sitting down?  How do you dance without having to have back surgery afterwards?  Isn’t it annoying face planting into someone’s belly button every time you hug them?  How do you hold hands without one person having to keep their arm bent the whole time? And let’s be real, we all know that the saying “we are all the same size laying down” is not true sooooo…well you know what I’m getting at.

This is a question that I have had for many years.  I myself have dated someone shorter then me but only by 3 inches.  Let’s make it clear.  I am not saying I would never date someone significantly shorter then me but to date it has never happened.  I really just don’t get the technicalities of the whole thing.

So, I say all of that to say this…somebody tell me how this works! Please and thank you.
