Is there an item of clothing you wish you could wear but can’t?

We all get dressed in the morning but I know from personal experience that living with a disability option can be limited or inaccessible!
For me, it's high heels! I feel they are a statement of professionalism, feminism and I love the way they look on my left foot, but my right leg is deformed and so I can't wear them.

I wish I could wear shoes with heels. Even though I use a wheelchair and dont walk my feet are flat and I cant fit them in that kind of shoe. I feel more feminine when I used to wear them in the past.

I wish I could ware sandals that go between your toes like flip flops, my feet are that sensitive I can't ware any thing inbetween my toes.

Definitely heels, the higher, the better. Stilettos look so elegant and completely transform any outfit. “If only I had the balance!” You can compromise, but it’s not the same. Oh well carry on in flatties!
