I do my best thinking during Body Combat class. I realize this sounds a little random, but I like having an uninterrupted hour to be alone with my thoughts… while also beating the snot out of an imaginary opponent.
Some days, I contemplate life’s important questions: maybe about my career path at work or deciding what colors to include in Style Me Thrifty’s new logo (get excited!). And other days, my thoughts turn a bit more superficial, as in: how can I make my legs look longer?
[I know, my brain is a scary place to be!]
But as I jabbed and kicked my way through Body Combat this week, I started thinking about my height (an average 5’4”) and got stuck on the fact that I want the long legs of a 5’10” model! By the time our cool down song came on, I had come up with a simple solution that I wanted to share with everyone.
Go nude.
Nude shoes, that is. Pop on a pair of nude heels and you’re able to instantly create the illusion of longer legs. It’s like magic! Heels that match your skin tone trick the eye into seeing a leg that goes on for days. Instead of cutting off your legs at the ankle (which is what bold colored shoes can do), the eye follows your leg all the way to the ground. That’s exactly the few extra inches I’ve been looking for. The proof is in the picture:
