The other day as was a at meeting of an organization with one female member and all the guys were in tee shirts, jeans and sneakers and i notice that the lone women was also wearing jeans but with a casual top (not a tee) and 3 1/2 inch to 4 inch red pumps.
Two things occured to me, first was that they were sexy looking shoes and that she looked good wearing them (yes read as "Oozing with envy"). Secondly, that she probably made a conscious choice to wear those red high heels when she really didn't need to. My guess is she likes the look. Look over comfort.
If you looked at the guys you would likely think they all chose their attire for comfort (typical for this group) but she put style before comfort, a women's choice. A guy would have been viewed as crazy if he wore, say a tie to look good.
Interesting
