High Heels with bigger girls.
17/F
I've recently gotten interested in wearing high heels.
1) I'm plus sized, so I was wondering if it looks weird with a bigger girl wearing heels?
2) I'm 5'6", so do I even have any business wearing them?
I'm a little self conscious about my height because I seem to tower over everybody. But I still wanna wear heels.
3) Also, what's a way I can slowly morph into somebody who wears heels? I feel like it'd be wear if I just go from a flat sandel/boot girl to heels over night.
I've asked for a few pairs of heeled boots for Christmas to maybe start off with.
4) ALSO, where can I buy cute/casual sandel-type heels for summer? The ones a looked at this summer just seemed too dressy to wear for casual wear. But that could also be because I'm not used to heels.
Thanks!

Heels will actually slim you down because they make you look taller! Definitely wont make your legs look stumpy, they elongate them! Plus size girls and rock any shoes that a non-plus size girl can wear if you do it the right way!
I felt the same way when I became interested in starting to wear heels. I started with wedged because they are generally more casual. If I'ts cold where you live start with a bootie (a short ankle boot that has a small heel). Wear them with a pair of trouser or flare jeans and they will look adorable!
I get my shoes at DSW, Famous Footwear, or Off Broadway Shoes. If you are looking for a casual summer wedge try something simple. Nothing too strappy and flashy like these:

All you have to do is wear them with confidence and nobody will think twice about it!

I'm plus-sized and 5'8", so I feel your pain. I used to avoid wearing heels because they made me feel like a sasquatch, but I've given up caring over the last 3 years or so. Having a husband who's 6'3" helps :)
1) It doesn't look weird at all. Make sure that the shoes fit well, and take a good look to make sure that the shape doesn't make you look like you're tottering around on tiny little hooves. That can happen to me if the shoes are too delicate.
2) Height feels like an issue at first, but soon enough you learn how to rock being the tallest chick in the room.
3) It's easy... just switch back and forth. It's better for your feet anyhow. You can even start with a lower heel (1-2 inch) to get people used to the idea of you being taller.
4) Payless is my best friend for heels. When I get a pair of heels, they're not usually for every day wear, so I'm not too worried about quality. You can nab a pair of adorable casual sandal heels for 20-30 dollars (or less, if they're doing a bogo) and if you don't wear them often, it isn't the end of the world. The American Eagle brand is my favourite, because they make chunkier heels, which is almost a must for us bigger girls (it keeps you from wrenching your ankle badly and it keeps you from looking like you're on tiny stilts).
5) Booties? I have a pair that I love. I find that the extra length I get from the heels (my legs are terribly stumpy to start with) cancels out the cankle-ifying effect of the booties.
