Shoe Love...

Who among us doesn't love a new pair of shoes?  So easy to try on, no worries about a few extra pounds here or there, and can be a great investment since our foot size doesn't really change all that much over the years. 
That being said, shopping for the latest styles often creates a lot of confusion.  There are endless choices - and of course the important issue of comfort vs fashion.  Years ago my shoe wardrobe consisted of the following - a black and brown shoe of some sort, a single pair of multi purpose sneakers, a loafer, a sandal and probably something fancy that worked fine for special occasion dressing.  Fast forward 20 years or so to todays footwear market-  from ladylike pumps to chunky-heeled boots/booties, the season's best is all over the map and in every color imaginable. A quick re-cap of the essentials:

Chic and Classic:
Slip into a sexy, sleek pump.  Play with prints and colors.  Pair with everything from slim pants/jeans to a beautiful dress or pencil skirt. Did you know that this season two of my favorite shoe designers (Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo) are offering their classic pumps in several heel heights? Beauty and comfort in one.

Need something a little edgier?  Try a shoe/boot.  You can find them at every price point. These can transform even the simplest outfit into something spectacular..

Going be on your feet all day?  Comfort is a must but there's no reason to resort to your old shoddy stand bys.  The comfort shoe/sneaker market is expanding every season and is nothing like it used to be -

Break out the boots... but no need to break the bank in this category either. The Jimmy Choos and Loeffer Randall choices below look amazing but Nine West and Via Spiga offer excellent alternatives at very affordable prices.

There's a lot to choose from so what to add?  Take a few minutes and go through your existing footwear.  Get rid of anything that:
1. Doesn't fit or feel comfortable - we all make mistakes and make impulsive purchases from time to time-  you can consign them -  or give them away and make someone happy!
2. Are old, tacky, or beyond repair.
3. Look dated - you won't go to them and they will continue to collect dust and space in your closet.

Consider your lifestyle and purchase accordingly.

Have fun building your shoe wardrobe!
Thank you for reading,
