Hooker Heels or Not Hooker Heels?

So, I've been thinking about clothes a lot lately. Especially since my birthday (July 31st- mark your calendars) just passed. I put my birthday money away and have been also saving my little monthly "allowance" I get to spend on whatever I want.

I ordered a few things from the internet that I had been needing/wanting and then the rest is just sitting in an envelope in my secret place. I'm planning a trip to Utah in a few weeks and have been kind of setting it aside so I can do some fall shopping. I can't decide what to spend it on. I know I need a new pair of jeans.. but what kind? Wide leg? Or boot cut or flare?(You will never see me wearing tapered skinny leg jeans) And what brand? And from what store? I just can't decide!

I've also thought about spending some on shoes... Oh how I love shoes. All shoes. Since high school I have owned 3 different pairs of Etnies shoes. They are the perfect white sneaker and they are so comfortable. I have had my current pair coming on 3 years and I wear them ALL the time. They are very worn and I have been looking to replace them. Should I spend some on those?


I don't like the plaid pattern on these, mine would be a plain color. Preferably white with a black E.
Or there are Converse's. I have been eying those for some time too. I like the way they look with jeans and a t-shirt. So... a new pair of Etnies or a never before had new pair of Converse's?
I have also wanted to try flats. I shied away from them for quite some time since they have been out because I can't stand to look stalky/frumpy. I am flat footed and short (5' 3 and 3/4" (there is no way I would leave out that last bit)) and I personally think I'm a little hippy so I just couldn't see flats flattering me at all.

Until I saw them with wide legged jeans. I love that look. So I have been on the lookout for some comfy cute looking flats. I don't own a pair yet, but I want to. Then as I was perusing for a nice pair of Converse shoes I ran across these babies.

Converse flats! I think they are cute-not 100% sure they are what I'm looking for, but it's an option. I don't like uncomfortable shoes or flats that show your toe cleavage. So that rules out quite a few.
I also absolutely love high heels. I haven't been brave enough to wear them with jeans, yet. I also need to buy a pair that are longer so they would actually look good with heels. That could be the length of new jeans I buy in a few weeks. I have also been looking for a new pair of heels. Preferably brown or red or yellow. I have outfits these colors would go with.

Then I saw this post and it made me wonder... do I wear hooker heels?



They can also be referred to as stripper heels. I place probably too much importance on dressing nice and looking put together. I try to dress nice but I LOVE high heels. 95% of the time I am in heels at church. I'm always modest-no short skirts for me. I also try to avoid super tightness. I mean... who wants to see EVERY curve?

So I decided to show everyone what type of heels I like and wear.

I don't own any of these, but if I could I would.






So, what do you think? Hooker heels or no? Or are any of them a little scandalous? Or does anyone have any idea what I should spend my small(ity bity) fortune on? I LOVE to shop. Especially when I'm feeling good about myself and so far (I know many of you say "wwhhy?" and I say, "why not?") I've lost 3 pounds on my diet I started 4 days ago. I'm pretty proud of myself and I'm feeling good. If I keep this up in a few weeks I'll be REALLY ready to shop till I drop(or run out of money).

Again... hooker heels? And what to buy?!
