I'm a style-over-utility kind of gal, but my personal style isn't necessarily the latest from (or knockoff of) Manolo Blahnik. My own style tends to be a bit more classic, and I really don't get into colorful shoes, unless they're really special. (I do adore my wine-colored slingbacks and my red patent-leather peep toes) I can't afford the brands I REALLY like, but I find what's most "me" in my price range (hello, sales!) and incorporate that into my wardrobe.
Heels don't really bother me like they do a lot of people. I can walk just fine in a high-heeled shoe, and I don't have a lot of resulting pain. So that's not really a major consideration for me. The only "downside", if you want to call it that, is that I'm right around 6'0" in most heels. But then, I like being tall. :-)
