Kicking Back In Chunky Heels

Meet my new shoes. My new babies. A product of my favourite time of the year (the Topshop mid-season sale) these London Block Sandals are my new favourites. Now, I'm not usually one for a chunky heel, I prefer the elegance of a stilletto, the delicate clip clop of a court, not the clomp clomp of a chunky heel. Not to mention they almost always look ridiculous on my teeny ankles (the skinniest part of my body, fair?) which look like they're about to snap off the bottom of my legs. So it's safe to say that when I slipped these on they were almost bound to look ridiculous. But then something amazing happened. Straying away from my classic, safe choice of a black court shoe had paid off. I felt fun, flirtatious, excited and on trend. The coral heel is a perfect nod to this seasons colour palette, the hidden studs give them an edge. Most of all, the chunky heel makes them comfortable. I could walk, skip, dance, twirl in them almost instantly, something which one can rarely do in platform stillettoes. So my advice to you and my new motto? Buckle up and clomp forwards in a chunky heel, you won't regret it.
