I know we are expecting more snow in NYC this coming Tuesday and Wednesday, but in the fashion world, Spring is right around the corner. Many of our favorite stores are trying to move their Fall/Winter merchandise to make room for the beautiful pastels and florals that represent spring. So before we rush out to our favorite stores, we need to take inventory too see what we should keep and what we should throw away, before we run out and buy what we already have (I’m so guilty of this).
Style expert, Lloyd Boston, says “Do a shoe-heel inventory. Make sure what you own meets the standard: fit, flattery, and timelessness. The right shoes can not only complete your look, they can increase your confidence and add polish to your posture as well.”
Here’s the checklist:
- Nude-colored high heels
- Black closed-toe work pumps
- Work sling back
- Black evening pumps in satin, emebellished leather, patent leather, or a fun skin
- 1-1 1/2 inc kitten heel wiht a slightly pointed toe
- Hihg-heeled sandal
- Real or faux skin heels (whatever you can afford)
- Barely there strappy heel (for those cocktail parties)
- Metallic high heel
- Ankle strap pumps
- Peep toe pumps
I am not a fan of kitten heels, but I almost purchased a leopard pair from Target last year. They are perfect for work, depending on your profession, but I am short and I need 3-inches or higher lol. Make sure you purchase heels according to your lifestyle also. If you NEVER go out to black tie affairs or cocktail parties, then the barely there strappy heel is not a major necessity at the moment. If you are against the killing of animals and reptiles, then snakeskin, leopard, and croc prints are not for you so go for something faux.
