All women know as well as I do that Shoes can make or break an outfit. Shoes can give personality to your style and a boost of sexy confidence to you. Here are some of the more buzz-worthy new styles and trends of Autumn or just the revival of some old ones you’ll be sure to ‘fall’ for! Ankle Boots/ Booties: Back from the 80’s these ankle length boots also known as booties are smoking Hot this season especially the mens wear inspired oxford-shoe type Booties. Booties can vary in length, from the super-short variety, which falls just under the ankle, to the longer version, which hits right above the ankle. Be sure to avoid showing flesh when wearing these boots (i.e. no minis) since the high cut of the shoe can make your legs shorter than they really are. Another way to wear the ankle boot is to pair them with tights or leggings which are the same color as the boots.
Animal Prints: Leopard spots, tiger, zebra stripes…..in short Animal prints draped over any style of shoe like stilettos, pumps, platforms and even booties are huge this season, so it’s time to go Wild! Be careful to pair your animal print shoes with subtle solid colors don’t overdo patterns and prints and make the focal point of your outfit the shoes….its a tough one to pull off so keep it simple and let the shoes do the talking!
