Here Is What Your 9 Favorite Shoes Styles Say About You
Incurvy

Look down at your feet, what shoes are you wearing?

Shoes are chosen based on the occasion, duh. So what are you up to?

Arguably, you can draw numerous conclusions from one's footwear. Simply, put yourself in their shoes.

1. Tennis shoes

If they are well-worn then you are a gym-junkie. If not, well, then you are a casual partaker.

Somehow, wearing tennis shoes makes you want to jog in place. No need to pay for therapy, exercising in tandem with the pulsing beat dissipates all anxiety.

2. Converse or Vans

Radiating youth and a philosophy to approach life with ease, you are functional but trendy. Who knows, you might be Avril Lavigne incarnate. 'Sk8ter boi' was your anthem and Spencer's was your store of choice, to your parent's chagrin.

You are experiencing with all things alternative, riding the line between hipster and preppy.

3. Sperry's and All Boat-shoes

Either you are in a fraternity or you want to be. Unfortunately, you probably don't wear socks with your shoes so they are rancid.

Also, you mistakenly believe that pastel chubbies are attractive. Hear me clearly, I am thankful that you are confident in your manhood. I hope you meet a really nice guy, someday.

Bottom line: If you don't own a boat or work as a male model, then boat shoes are a no-go.

4. Loafers

A popular shoe worn by fashionable men who believe that comfort need not be sacrificed on the altar of style.

Even women love loafers because they can be dressed up or down. Their versatility reflects modernity and a sophisticated androgyny.

5. Stilettos

Let me spell it out, C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T.

Sidewalk cracks and cobblestones beware, these shoes show no fear. Tower above the crowd and feel like a Victoria Secret Angel for one, glorious (albeit painful) night.

6. Conservative Heels

Were you stowed in a purse before arriving at work? I think you were!

Wear these bad boys at the meeting and then slip into flats under your desk. Or better yet, don tennis shoes for the power-walk during your lunch break.

You are a well-rounded adult or at least, you want to seem so.

7. Ballet Flats

Wife her up! She has a gentle, sweet disposition. Imagine Pam from 'The Office.' Oh, and she always has candy at her desk or a snack in her purse.

8. Sandals

From henceforth, sandals would like to be recognized as distinct from flip-flops. Sandals flatter a dress, a skirt and even shorts and t-shirt.

They say that you tried, but not too much. Thank you, sandals, for all that you do!

9. Flip-flops

Where is the beach? Or I am doing laundry? Or I am running errands? Bum around or get stuff done, either way flip-flops can handle it. And if they suddenly can't, throw them out and purchase a $2 pair from literally anywhere.

Shoes help us walk through our days. For many of us, we do not wonder whether or not we will have shoes.

Yet, innumerable others the world over do not have a closet full of shoes. They may only have one or even none.

I challenge you to donate one pair of shoes for every pair of shoes that you have. Imagine who will receive that shoe and all the places they will go.

By donating, you touch their sole.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
