Books over boys, fries before guys… shoes over guys any day. I always see myself hearing these comparisons of guys to objects that people couldn't live without, as if we need guys to live… books (an education), fries (who doesn't love some good fast food), and for me... it's shoes.

People obtain all different hobbies and interests, don't you? Well for me, I enjoy fashion... and shoes are my absolute favorite part of an ideal OOTD. I always say that shoes can make or break your outfit.

Just like a pair of shoes can spiffy up or dampen down your choice of what to wear, guys can do the same. Ok, maybe not so much in terms of an outfit, but in terms of personality, hobbies, and emotions. Being single gives me the ability to recognize the traits that I want in a guy from seeing other relationships around me. A good guy is like a good pair of shoes: they add some pep in your step, style to your smile, and gives you the support you need.Imagine your favorite pair of shoes that you wear out on a Friday night girls' night. My shoes that I wear out for a well-deserved night out are my black-pumps with a thick, gold heel. Your go-to shoes add sass to your outfit, make your legs look good and have everyone staring. Having a guy with the qualities of pumping you up is necessary, just like your favorite heels (my black pumps) make you feel good.

As shoes are important to your persona and self-confidence, so is the guy you're with. If he does not resemble a good pair of shoes (in a figurative sense), he's not for you. Shoes over guys any day, especially when they make you feel your most best.
