Sophia Fashionista: How to Wear Heels

November 20, 2009

Sophia has very strong opinions on fashion and as yet she will share her knowledge and lessons with anyone who is interested.  Her most important fashion rule is to always wear heels when you are allowed.  If possible one should wear mommy’s heels.  Otherwise, the heels in the dress up box will do.  Sophia’s most devoted follower is her little brother Miles, who has been trying to learn from her the art of walking in heels for weeks.  She gave up on me when it comes to fashion.  Miles actually wants to wear heels every day with her, while I am just fine in my flats, thank you.

Miles has taken many bumps and bruises on his journey.  She told him to keep it up.  She screams “Go Miles!  You can do it!”  She is a good teacher.  Firm but supportive and always honest.

These are Cute - Not Easy!

He has learned from Sophia that his feet are too fat for her smallest heels.  These barbie ones are just right.  Wide at the top with a rubber bottom.  She taught him that wearing socks with heels was dangerous because it was slippery.  Thanks Sophie – now he takes off his socks as soon as he comes in the house looking for his dress up shoes.  She told him the yellow ones were ugly with his outfit – and she was right.

He has had to come to her for help putting on a lost heel many a time.  He tries to run with one shoe off and one on moaning about his “sh”.  She never runs out of patience helping him put on the shoes.  I can’t help thinking this is so funny and so cute!

Can you Help Me with my Sh?

Well today, Miles finally walked the Catwalk without falling once.  The catwalk around here is our downstairs hallway.  You put the music on the cd player in the playroom and then you walk from the playroom to the living room while everyone watches and applauds.  Everyone includes all grownups and children not in the show.  Miles being able to walk the whole walk is so important because Sophia does not like people in her regular fashion shows who cannot make it down the hallway in the outfits she picks.   This is Miles – almost finished with the hallway.  He made it to the end.  H even had a little model attitude!

You don't like the shoes or the drool?

Sophia was so excited by her pupil’s success that I was unable to capture the final moment with my camera.  They hugged and kissed like he just won Miss Universe and then they fell over together.  She told him she was proud.  Then she got all serious on his ass and said he could be in the show as soon as he learned to wear a crown.  He must have been devastated. 

Rule #2 in Sophia’s book includes wearing a crown whenever possible with hairbows.  He will rock the hairbows if she puts them in but come on now – he is a little man – he draws the line at a princess crown!

Classic! And this is how it goes when the older sibling is female. My son had a football in my daughter’s hand before she could walk. So you have a heel wearing baby boy and I have a football lovin’ dainty girl. :)

My kids love wearing MY heels – but my son mostly. My husband is not thrilled but I assure him that it’s something many toddlers go through!

How adorable. He is quite the model now, isn’t he?

I remember when my youngest was a baby, the girls and their friends used to dress him up in all sorts of funny outfits. I still remember him sporting a pink tutu and a headband while the audience roared.
