Shoes for Spring

By Silhouettes · February 14, 2011 · 0 Comments · 30 Views

So I know spring is still weeks away, but hey! The groundhog didn’t see his shadow this year, so we’re going to go with wishful thinking and plan for spring shoes in February.

I mean, you can wear these shoes in the winter, too, but with ice and slush and salt everywhere, you probably don’t want to.

Celebrate the return of daffodils and other spring flowers with these pretty Zipper Flower flats! I imagine wearing them with a pair of jeans or khaki pants for a day out, or pairing them with more formal pants for a day at the office.

Cool platform pumps give you a boost! I like the platform base that these shoes have, in addition to the heel. They also have the shiny patent leather look that turns heads. Wear these with a skirt to work or any pair of pants you own, even jeans!

So you’ve got your pumps and flats, but don’t forget the slingback! These shoes have a trendy peep toe and a sexy bow to finish them off in style. Wear them with a dress, skirt, or nice pair of pants this spring.

New Year Trend Watch: Vintage style

One trend I’m seeing a lot of these days is vintage clothing—or new clothing in a vintage style. There are so many cool looks from “back in the day” that are being incorporated into clothes and shoes.

This vintage lace top is one example. With its pretty style and delicate ruffles, this piece is old fashioned and completely modern at the same time. It’s such a fun way to incorporate a new trend into your rotation.

This vintage beaded tunic is another way to bring classic old style into your wardrobe. Simple, but elegant.

Either of these tops would look great paired with jeans or black pants and these ruffled booties or these button booties, both of which were inspired by Victorian-era shoes.

Old is new again, so take advantage of this fun new trend!

What are you doing New Year’s Eve?

Do you have a New Year’s party to attend? And the bigger question: do you have something to wear?

New Year’s Eve is a fun time to get glitzy and let your hair down. Something like this Sparkle top is a great idea—lots of colors, pair with black pants and you’re ready to go.

Another idea is something like this deep-v tunic, which you can accessorize with a fabulous necklace and pair with stand-out shoes, like these leopard print heels.

And this abstract print red and black tunic would be another great option, since it has the sparkling embellishments around the neckline to add that extra touch of pizzazz. Some black boots and a fun bag and you’re on your way!

 

Shake Your Booties

I blogged not too long ago about boots and how to wear them, but I think it’s time to highlight one particular style of boot that’s really trendy right now: the bootie! This style is really popular, but can also be difficult to wear. The key is to pair booties with pants or shorter skirts (knee-length or shorter); that way you’ll avoid looking awkward.

These lace-up booties are basic, but still very stylish. They’re also a really nice suede and the laces are a fun detail. Plus, they have a side zipper so they’re easier to get on and off. These would look great with trousers or jeans.

The classic shoe bootie is exactly what it sounds like—a perfect shoe that also happens to be a boot! These classic booties will go with just about anything

And finally, these rhinestone ankle boots are just the right look for a day at work or a night on the town (or both!). They would look super-chic with a skirt and tights or a pair of black pants.
