Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

April 11, 2007

You can not talk about fashion without mentioning shoes.  Shoes, in my opinion, is the lifeline of fashion.  They can either make or break an outfit.  You can wear the hottest outfit, but if your shoes are a hot mess, you have committed the unexcusable and unforgivable fashion sin!

If you have been to any shoe store within the last couple of months – then you already know that the trend right now are platform shoes.  Platforms are everywhere and they are so many different styles and they are so versatile that you just can’t wrong.  I will admit, when platforms first came on the scene, I wasn’t a lover of them.  I am a 4 inch stilletto loving women and the platforms were too chunky for me.  But recently they have updated them and some of my favorite shoes are my platforms and since they are now making platform stillettos, I am in shoe heaven.   Lets take a look at some of the styles:

Classic Platform Pump

As you can see they have incorporated my stilletto heel which makes these my favorite.  These can be worn with just about anything – jeans, skirts, dresses, suits and shorts.  What is so great about the classic pump is they can be worn at the office or out at night.  

                                                            

Sexy slingback!

If you have nice legs, you can pull these off with a pencil skirt or shorts.  Shorts with platform heels -that’s what its all about!

Poppin peep toe!

Peep toe pumps takes the classic pump to a new level.  Just like the pumps, these shoes can be worn in the office or out at night.  Unless you work for my company where OPEN TOE ISN’T ALLOWED:-( That’s another topic!  My opinion peep toe shoes look really nice with a fun dress.

 Other styles:

I could go on forever showing the various styles of platforms shoes.  Just know that these shoes are the top picks for this spring and summer and they come in so many styles, prints and colors.  There is no reason why every woman can’t have a pair in her closet – unless you just don’t wear heels. 

Until next week……………..S.
