Everything She Wants

Because we favor footwear that's functional and comfortable, flats and wedges are my go-to shoe styles of the summer. But apparently American men don't like it when women wear flats and wedges. We don't care what these guys say; we still like wedges! According to new research from CouponCodes4u.com , the more than 2,000 adult American guys polled find wedges to be the least attractive style of shoe, followed by Uggs, Crocs and platforms. Flip-flops, moccasins and Mary Janes also made the list, as did ballet shoes, kitten heels and sneakers.   Well, now that nearly our entire shoe closet has been deemed unacceptable ( thankfully, gladiator sandals weren't on the list) , we can either chock this up as unsolicited opinion or cave in and purchase a pair of heels.  What do you think of this footwear style survey?

Fashion is subjective.  So many of you may love the trends I'm about to bash.  Admittedly, some of these trends have been embraced by women far younger than me, so that may be the disconnect....or maybe these looks just err on the side of tacky?  In an homage to my former blog, Hot Mama Daily , I want to know what my Everything She Wants ' readers think.  Are these summer 2012 trends hot or not? On the right woman, the cutout shirt trend can look sexy chic and not trashy.  But toned arms and un-sweaty pitts are a must. Who wears short shorts?  Not me.  And if you do, I beg you to stop. Please don't wear a crop top unless your belly is as flat as the model in this photo.  Or better yet, if you're over the age of eight, skip the crop tops and midriffs altogether.  Wedge sneakers are a hipster trend for summer into the fall/holiday season, but I can't decide whether I love 'em or hate 'em.
