These heels are great~!! It's a mix of the Victorian style w/ the uber current peep-toe platform stilletto. SO CUTE! I also love how the designer pokes fun at Marie-Antoinettes elaborate wig trends! (The ankle strap is her hair with a ship decor at the top) ~<3

I feel it just a matter of style and class some people know how to wear them.. something else if you have a nice body and have a certain sense of style trust me it draws attention but on a positive note.. it shows you have sex appeal and confidence
