Everyone's always drooling on the store front windows and their computer screens over what other female obsession than shoes? Here are a bunch of my favorite inspiration designs.
Ladies, if you're going with a bold animal print, like the snakeskins, remember: only one animal at a time. Roberto Cavalli may disagree, but unless you want to end up like a taxidermy shop model, I'd stick to just one. And keep everything else fairly tame. There should only be one focal point in your outfit. There's a difference on the street between someone giving you a once up and down, and being stared at like a complete idiot.
For those of you going for the bright bold colors, same rule for the prints, keep your outfit simple. You want to be attractive, not distracting. If you can throw in a subtle animal print bangle, or belt, go for it. When dealing with bold colors and prints, though, it's always best to err on the side of caution if you're just starting out. Less is more. And more is just too much.
For the classic shoes, this is your style license to just go for it! Wear these to a special event or an evening out. This is the time when you can go completely elegant with neutrals, or throw on a bright colored dress with your animal print bag slung over your shoulder.
Most importantly whenever dressing yourself: make sure the clothes fit you, and that the clothes aren't wearing you. If you have a brand new outfit on, you should get a least one compliment from a complete stranger, or at least an acquaintence that day.
