A Slight Shoe Obsession


A few ideas from one shoe addict to another...

Wedges
Wedges are back, and they're going to go perfectly with this season's headscarves and turbans! Go for a neutral colored medium height shoe without a platform sole. Peep holes are also a popular look for wedges and add a feminine feel.

Oxfords...the Next Generation
Oxfords have been around for a few seasons now, but now there are new spins on the casual, smart street shoe. There are Oxford Ballerina flats, which are basically ballet flats with Oxford style laces. Fabric Oxfords are another casual flat option. It's the season's take on the sneaker.


Flats Have Never Been Sexier
Lolita-inspired flats are the perfect medicine of sweetness for sexy spring pieces like tap pants and boy shorts. These vintage-style skimmers add a bit of innocence to an otherwise femme fetale look. Think about what Shirley Temple wore with her little shorts and skirts, and aim for that.

Season of the Clog
These wooden shoes have inspired the looks of designers Chanel and Louis Vuitton. The look? A backless clog with a wooden platform and a chunky wood heel. Alexander Wang also made a black, chunky-heeled, backless clog, which at the very least seems more wearable with edgy punk trends like leather, chains and side-slitted leggings.
