Why Do Women in Real Estate Flipping Shows Wear Stupid Shoes?
In just the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen a stiletto go through a rotted floor, a platform sandal slip off in a mud puddle and a pair of leather pumps ruined my red clay. Why would anyone turn up at a construction site in frivolous shoes? They should have been wearing steel-toed work boots. […]
