What you wear - and it always starts with your shoes - determines what kind of character you are. A woman who wears high heels carries herself very different to a girl who wears sneakers or sandals. It really helps determine how you carry yourself.

I always wear high heels.

I, a woman, find wearing high heels agreeable only on the very rare occasion that (1) I will be ferried between destinations upon a palanquin or (2) I am going to a cocktail party and, at five feet two, don't want to spend the evening discussing the latest movies with somebody's nipples.

Life's too short to wear high heels.

People walk differently in high heels. Your body sways to a different kind of tempo.

I prefer jeans to a suit, sneakers to high heels, markets to malls.
