The 3 Shoes You Want This Fall
Ok, Yes… I LOVE shoes! They are the icing on my cake! I can hear angels singing when I walk into a shoe department (coffee in hand). Maybe it’s the caffeine...? Regardless; I love the challenge of finding that perfect shoe waiting to fulfill it’s purpose in my closet. Even though the “buffet” of shoes as you walk into a store can be so enticing; it can also be overwhelming and daunting. So...let me make it easy for you and give you the 3 shoes you want this fall.
Over the Knee Boots
With all of the cozy knits we are seeing this fall I love nothing better than pairing that with a skinny jean and an over the knee boot. The easiest way to wear the OTKB is with a dark legging or skinny jean. You want to make sure that the top you have on will balance out with the weight of the boot. Think less is more. Tone on tone looks are simple and clean, yet the over the knee boot adds an edge and trend instantly. My absolute favs are from Dolce Vita. They are comfortable and have that great chunky heel that adds height and are easy to walk in! They come in three colors as well. I prefer the anthracite because I'm wearing a lot of grey this fall.
If Nordstrom doesn't have your size or you would like to save a little more $$ you can get the Kensie below for $169.
The Lace Up Flat
Flats are a necessity in the shoe wardrobe because we do unfortunately have days where the heels won’t cut it. Good news for us…Steve Madden has done it again! Making flats fun and current while not sacrificing style is important. I love these black suede lace up flats, they make me happy! Pair them with your dark denim or black skinny jeans and a simple white blouse or a black tee and you're off and ready!
The Slip on Sneaker
Finally something fabulous that isn't a running shoe or just plain frumpy for those days when we ladies need a casual run around look! My clients have been over the moon for this men’s wear inspired style. The trick is to not purchase one that is extremely bulky because it will pass that adjective on to you…bulk. Sam Edelman made a yummy light weight version that won't break the bank and is super comfy. I wear my slip on sneakers with a relaxed boy friend jean and a simple black and white stripe tee or a cozy grey sweatshirt, top it off with a knit cap and you are ready for your day! Or, with this plaid shirt, scarf, and my faux leather leggings by Hue. Don’t forget to stop for coffee to complete this perfect errand go to shoe!
Now that you have direction and you can shop with a purpose for what you need and how to wear it…go shoe shopping and remember only buy what you love and what feels good on.
Wear what you love...and you will love what you wear!
