Hem’n'heel rule

Morgan C in Phoenix said “Hey there! Boy do I have a friend who needs a fashion intervention! She’s 39 going on 16 in the clothing department and doesn’t grasp that the shorter the [short or skirt] hem is, the lower the heel should be. I honestly don’t need to see her in daisy dukes (or ‘cheekers’ as I like to call them) with black patent stilettos AT A BBQ again anytime soon. Sweet Jesus we just stood there [slack jawed] when she answered the door.”

Well, it is not everyday I personally think about short or skirt hems & heels, but this is a super rule to abide by.  As your short or skirt hem rises above your knee, the less teetering your heels should be. Of course there are always exceptions to every rule. But unless you are 18, a super model, in a music video, Beyoncé or Maria… add this to your personal ‘style commandments.’

Keeping this in mind, the next time you are in your closet, will lessen the risk of any embarrassing moments at the office, grocery store, evening out, party-limbo… or backyard BBQ.
