ahhh the right of passage for wearing heels MD! i think you did well for saying no in that instance. it probably wasnt a purchase that she totally felt awesomely comfy with in the first place if there was egging on.

that said, it will be just around the corner that she will want to have a pair. maybe discuss with her what is an ok parameter of 'heels'. stilettos are alot of hard work and there are so many pretty non-stiletto heels out there. i reckon a first pair for semi-formal or some school dance is ok from this age ITMS. i think my mum took me to myer one day for my semi formal in grade 10 and we bought my first pair there. i think they were kitten heels lol.
