Can you ever have enough shoes? That answer depends on what woman you ask. If you ask me, the answer is no. Fashion is constantly changing and we have to do our best to keep up with it. I will tell you though that some shoes are timeless and those are worth finding. If you find the perfect pair and they are worth a little more, my advice is dish it out that money. It will be worth for you in the long run. Keeping our new economy in mind, I thought it would be great to think of shoes as a long time investment. It's always important to stick to the basics if you want a shoe collection to work for years. Basics, though, does not mean boring.
Read on and learn to create a shoe collection that works for years to come.
1. Love the Neutrals.
A pair of shoes in beige or bone color can go with anything. Plus, they elongate the legs by being close in color with your legs. I recently got a pair at JCPenney's for $40 from a brand called Worthington. It was love at first sight! (sigh...)
2. Once you go black, you'll always go back.
At least, that's what some say. Think shoes, ladies, shoes! You need a pair of black heels no questions asked.
3. Think bright. Hello Summer!
Hot pink is my top pick with a little black dress. Think of solid yellow, cobalt blue, orange, or floral. A bright pair of heels works great to spice up your outfit. A pair of bright shoes goes well with a simple or solid outfit. But tread carefully, you don't want to look like a rainbow head to toe. Hint: Amazon has beautiful electric blue pumps from Jessica Simpson.
4. These shoes are made for walking. And that's just what they'll do ...
I call these my blah shoes. These would be my tennis shoes and I only wear them to go to the gym or to go for a walk. (Flats and I don't go together.) They are not my fave, but we all need a pair. Grab the pair that calls your name. Wish we could work out in heels! So sexy!
So if your budget is tight, invest in basics. As for me, I am not trying to save so bring on the next pair!
