5 Reasons To Splurge on Stilettos… & The Ones We’re Lusting For

According to Ungenita Prevost, an empowerment coach working to help women go from Frazzled To Fabulous, stilettos are where you should splurge – not only because a well-designed pair of killer heels will, well, kill your heels less than ones with imperfect heel placement and inadequate cushioning, but also because a pair of stilettos can actually boost your confidence too. Sure, you may say, any new splurge always makes you feel a bit better (a new dress certainly puts a smile on our faces too), but stilletos are unique in that their affect lasts well beyond the price tag is removed and they’re no longer brand-spanking new.

As Ungenita explains to us, stilettos can…

… turn back the clock and make you look up to 3 years younger.

… lift your spirits (as well as your height!) by enhancing your mood and making you feel beautiful.

A few more ways to boost your confidence!

… encourage you to leave your self consciousness at home by forcing your to stand tall (and ultimately step over obstacles more easily).

… increase your fearless-factor, so you won’t be afraid to be yourself, without worrying about what other people think.

… make your legs look longer and leaner, making you feel sexier and more youthful.
