Aargh! I'm 5'3" and I can't wear more than 3" heels without
seriously killing my feet. Mind you I do have small feet. In 3"
heels I am pretty much walking on my toes.
As to past fashion mistakes I did wear leg warmers in the
80s. I had a constant running battle with my mother over
them. I wanted to wear them around my ankles like
the people in Fame. She wanted me to pull them up
over my knees (ie to keep my legs warm). Now that
is a disturbing look....

8" platform shoes,

Oh my word! How on earth did you walk in them?
High heels are such a foreign concept to me. I've been singing my whole
life, and singers should never wear a heel over an inch high (throws off
your balance, which throws off your breathing). But then, being 5'9", I
never had to be concerned about being 'tall' either. ;)

I spent a great deal of my live in musical theater, singing and dancing in
3"+ heels. You need to learn how to stand, walk and dance, but believe me,
you can sing in them, you just need to know how.
I also did ballroom and latin dance professionally, with a dance partner who
was 6'8". (I'm 5'2"). My dance shoes had 5" heels, because otherwise we
looked ridiculous. Even now, after a catastrophic car accident, back
injuries and arthritis, I can wear heels, just not for every day, or all
day.
