There’s been a reoccurring trend in the fashion world lately. Shoes are getting higher and higher these days. Three inches? Four inches? Five inches?  I’ve even seen six inch heels that are now considered chic. And while they look great on the pages of Elle and Vogue and in that online shopping cart you start but never check out, when taken out of context they might not look so chic. In fact, they might actually look like, well… stripper heels.

Laugh all you want but these days there’s a fine line between chic and cheap, between designer heels and stripper heels of the exact same height.

Think you can tell the difference? Test your knowledge. I promise, it’s not as easy as you think!

The girls who were bitches to you (and now, because of your cool job, want to kiss your ass). The guys who never gave you the time of day. Your old high school crush. New cute boys you never knew existed (or were too old for you when the age difference was 13-18 but now it’s totes okay to make out with someone 5 years older). The list goes on…

Oh yeah, and you’re gonna run into all of them in. one. place.

Yes, I’m talking about Thanksgiving Eve, AKA the biggest bar night of the year. And, yeah, vodka helps. But you know what else helps to make this awkward/but still fun night so kick ass? Knowing you look DAMN good.

Depending on where you’re from and where your pre-Thanksgiving party scene is, there might be a different dress code. So, I kept one thing in mind (looking hot) and created three insanely awesome outfits that will surely leave you looking sexy and feeling confident. So go ahead and bat your eyelashes at the cute guy across the room (who you are pretty certain was in your geometry class in 10th grade – wow he got GOOD LOOKING), and give a big “EFF YOU, biatch” to that girl who made fun of you in gym class. Because, girl, you’re gonna look HOT.
