Sexual Messages From Your Shoes!

By Christine Windsor

All sexual messages come from your feet. Do you agree?

Top Image Consultants claim that women, particularly, can announce details of their sexuality via their footwear.

'Peep' toe shoes are the foot equivalent of the plunging neckline and the higher the heel, the more blatant the sexual message.

Hookers wear 5" stilettos while nuns wear completely flat, closed-in, lace-up shoes.

The trick is to try to strike a balance between 'giving it away' and 'giving it up' since neither are flattering images for women. Even shoe care can project a message. A woman who has scuffed, worn and dirty shoes is announcing that she has very little pride in her appearance or herself - and maybe treated accordingly.

The same goes for laddered stockings. Everyone assumes that lax morals accompany laddered stockings. It's a subconscious message of not caring. Flimsy, flowing dresses, worn with boots project a somewhat complicated message to men. Firstly the dress says that the wearer is feminine but secondly comes the power message through the boots. They are confirming that the wearer is a force to be dealt with and able to "put the boot in".

Take control of the messages you are sending to the world with your personal appearance. Contact a House of Colour consultant for advice on all aspects of your Image.
