A Woman’s Right to Shoes (and so much more!)
One of my all time favorite episodes of Sex and the City was entitled A Woman’s Right to Shoes. In it, the fabulous Carrie Bradshaw made the wise observation that single women do not enjoy the same milestones and celebrations of their life choices that women who marry and have children do. For example, when a woman gets engaged, there’s a party. Followed by a gift registry. Followed by a wedding and honeymoon. And when she decides to have a baby, there is a yet another party thrown in her honor with yet another gift registry.
While there is nothing wrong with celebrating these milestones in a woman’s life, there’s nothing right with NOT celebrating the single woman’s choices and milestones. Where’s the registry for breaking up with the wrong guy? Or taking a solo vacation? Or buying her first house on her own?
Enter The Well-Heeled Society gift registry, an online registry for the single gal. Whether you’ve just landed your dream job, closed on your first home, published your first book, or overcome an obstacle with much success as a single woman, The Well-Heeled Society gift registry celebrates your accomplishments! Founder Felicia Coley created the registry to acknowledge the value and strengths of single women everywhere.
“In this day and age of matchmaking and dating sites, I feel single women are viewing their single status as a diagnosis in need of a cure,” Felicia explained in a recent email. “Instead, they need to view this time as a hiatus; a time to develop and reflect upon their lives. Lives that are prosperous, definitive, and elite, considering the achievements they’ve accomplished (in lieu of a man).”
The online registry includes shops like DKNY, Overstock.com, Linens N Things, and of course several sites devoted to footwear. Now, the single gal really does have the right to shoes!
