What type of shoe are you?
Posted in Contact Us and tagged with Contact Us on 01/21/2010 08:28 am by Recessionista PartyI’m deeply fascinated with personality tests and anything that gives me more insight into why I like the things I do, think the things I think, and act the way I do. In fact, I’ve even been going through obsessive periods in my life where I’ve stuck my nose in numerology books, taken countless personality quizzes as I tried to “figure” everyone out. One of my favorite numerology books even listed that as one of my abilities.
Did you know that the type of shoe you wear can largely and accurately reflect your personality? Honest, it’s true. Last night, I even took this silly quiz and here are my results.
You’re a sandal by summer and a clog by fall. Less is more as far as you’re concerned, but you still manage to look beautiful all the time. You don’t really care about the latest trends, but you’re psyched that all the stores are carrying the latest yoga clothing now. The new, fashionable flat sandals for spring have your name all over them, and you can’t wait to start wearing yours. They’re functional and comfortable, and best of all they look fabulous. Inner beauty is just as important to you as outer beauty, and it shows in the natural glow you radiate.
Maybe it’s a fluke but the results were right on. I was having so much fun and found the Ann Roth Shoe Personality Test and wanted to share it with you. Have some fun and see what kind of shoe you are! Are you natural, chic, flirty or funky? I’ll tell if you will!
Get a pen and piece of paper and keep track of your answers to the ten questions below. Then, add up the points based on your answers, and see your shoe personality take shape!

If you scored 10–16 points, you’re a Natural Gal. You prefer jeans to high heels, and your style is down-to-earth and comfortable. You’d rather go for a hike than hit the mall, and you’d rather wear lip balm than lipstick. You will like the Sketcher Bikers, Rox Salsa, and Born Nordi.
If you scored 17–24 points, you’re a Chic Chick. You’re a fan of the classics, and understated elegance is your specialty. Never boring, but not too daring either, you know what works for you and you don’t want to mess with a good thing. Some of your favorites include the Michale Kors Austin, Coach Corey, and Franco Sarto Zany.
If you scored 25–34 points, you’re Flirty and Feminine. You love being a girl and playing up your assets. Your closet is full of skirts and shoes to match. You will love , Jessica Simpson Parigi, Guess Olgan, Jessica Simpson Genavive and Enzo Waters.
If you scored 35–40 points, you’re Fresh and Funky. You’ve defined a style that is all your own, and you’re not shy about saying to the world, “This is me, and I love myself!” You will wear the Steve Madden Truffle, Naughty Monkey Jay Rocks and BCBG Alga.
Now tell me, was it right? And what shoe are you? A little teaser….you will want to comment today….more details tomorrow.

I'm a chic chick, but I think i'd fall into both that one and the natural girl! That was fun!!
January 21st, 2010 at 11:08 am
I scored "chic chick" too but think I'm a mix of both as well. Two for two! See what I mean?
January 21st, 2010 at 11:33 am
I'm Flirty and Feminine, how did it know!! I even checked out the other shoes just to see, and I definitly would've picked one of shoes in this category. Unless I was specifically looking for a comfortable tenny to chase my kids in, which everyone needs a pair of those! That was fun
January 21st, 2010 at 11:44 am
Hmmm…I scored a 24 but could not decide on an answer between 2 choices with 1 point difference. If I would have chosen the other one I would have hit 25 points. So I am a borderline chic chick and flirty and feminine. He He! Funny! I think I am more chic chick but I loved the Jessica Simpson Parigi shoes. I just don't have anywhere to where shoes like that even though I think they are adorable. Maybe I could vacuum in them!

I was a chic chick – so I don't think it's real accurate. I would be happy to wear old navy flip-flops every single day of the dang year!!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I was flirty and feminine, but I don't think it was totally accurate. I love flip flops, but I think chic chick described me a little better.
January 21st, 2010 at 12:12 pm
FTG….I would say it's accurate. I think we'd wear a lot of the same shoes.
January 21st, 2010 at 12:19 pm
I'm Flirty and Feminine but was right on the edge to Fresh and Funky. My favorite shoes are the Steve Madden Truffle in the Fresh and Funky! How fun?! Thanks!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:34 pm
I came out a chic chick, and although the description was pretty accurate, I didn't really care for the shoes they listed. Shoes are the ONE clothing item I am daring with, so the flirty and feminine shoes are most definitely much closer to my style. Funnily enough, there were a few questions that I debated between 2 answers on, and on those few that I waffled on, if I'd chosen the other answer I would've turned up flirty and feminine. (Man, I talk a lot.)
January 21st, 2010 at 12:36 pm
I was Flirty and Feminine and it was dead on!!! What a fun idea!! I never would have thought that my shoes would tell that much about me!! Thanks Recessioista!!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Natural Gal all the way!! So true… I love my Borns!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:45 pm
I came out to be Fresh and Funky!!! All my shoes in my closet are BCBG and Steve Madden!! How funny!!! Can't wait for an online shoe party…Move over girls the Naughty Monkeys are mine!!!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Flirty and Feminine! I think it describes me pretty well…I just love shoes…ANY shoes (cute of course!) Thanks for the fun quiz!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:45 pm
I'm a chic chick but was on the border of Flirty and Fenminine. I think it was pretty right on. Fun quiz!!!
January 21st, 2010 at 12:59 pm
I think I am a total Chic Chick, but ended up two points over into Flirty and Feminine. So I could safely say it's pretty close to being accurate.
January 21st, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Came out as a "Flirty and Feminine" but that's not me AT ALL! I think I'm a definite "Natural Gal" and if I told my husband that I was a 'flirty and feminie' he probably would laugh so hard that milk would spray from his nose!!!!!
January 21st, 2010 at 1:34 pm
I was a Chic Chick -which is SO RIGHT ON!!! Audrey Hepburn is my style icon, so it was fun to see that my personality mimicks her style! Fun quiz! (=
January 21st, 2010 at 1:38 pm
I'm a "Flirty Feminine" girl! So true! I think that really does describe me – I adore anything with ruffles, and I live in heels…anything girly girl is right up my alley!
January 21st, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Natural girl- right on. How fun! Thanks!
January 21st, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Based on the quiz, I'm a "Natural Gal", but most of the shoes in my closet would probably fit into the "Chic Chick" category…go figure! I guess I'm just Naturally Chic!

Natural Girl- Yes this is pretty true most of the time. Fun quiz, thanks for sharing.
January 21st, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Chic chick here. I thought I might be more natural but am glad to know that I have a chic side too! That was fun!
January 21st, 2010 at 2:31 pm
I'm a flirty feminine but I'd love that funky fresh shoe, so cute!
January 21st, 2010 at 5:46 pm
I got flirty and feminine! which is pretty true. I always have to have shoes that match my new skirts or dresses!! hahaha
January 21st, 2010 at 6:45 pm
I am the Chic Chick. I am all for cute as long as it is comfy!
January 21st, 2010 at 9:28 pm
I got Chic Chick…I think it is kinda true although maybe others wouldn't always agree? I don't know. The chic chick shoes in the picture are so cute so I will take it:)
January 22nd, 2010 at 8:43 am
I got Flirty Feminine – which is mostly true, sadly most of my stuff doesn't match because I live in maternity clothes right now, but the quiz is pretty much right on!
