Picking the Shoes
November 13, 2007 | Filed Under Womens Fashion
Shoes are a tricky thing, but they really don’t have to be. I love the different types of shoes that are available today - and there’s no one forcing you to wear something you don’t like. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
1) Heels or flats? Flats are nice for everyday occasions, I get it. And now, some of them are really cute and comfortable. I especially like the ballerina-type shoes. Some people also have problems walking in shoes, but you don’t need to wear a stiletto.
On the other hand, women really do look better in heels. It lengthens out and slims the leg, and makes them look more toned and just all-around better. So, while flats might be nice for, say, walking around, or chilling at home, or just daily activities, spicing something up with a heel goes a long way for a nice occasion. No matter how cute your flats are, they’ll never beat a good heel. I’m serious. Stand in front of a mirror, and step on and off one heel - it’s a world of difference.
2) Pointy or rounded or flat toe? I’m against flat toes, end of story. But as for the pointy or rounded toe - it’s really just what looks best on you. I can’t wear a pointy toe to save my life, which makes me really sad because I think they’re pretty. My sister and my roommate, though, look amazing in pointy-toed shoes.
3) Please don’t wear tennis shoes. Tennis shoes are acceptable for sports. Read: jogging, running, and walking. They do nothing for you. Not even the really nice ones. I promise. Oh, and Crocs… I don’t care how comfortable those things are: unless you’re in the safety of your own home, those are OUT!
4) My college roommate’s sister told my roomie and I, “Every woman should own a pair of red shoes.” So true. The color spices up an outfit, and they can be worn with almost anything. Black pants, white pants, jeans, skirts, and even some brown pants (red-browns, not green-browns). These shoes are Mark Jacobs, and they are a ridiculous $485, but you get the idea.
The thing about shoes is you don’t need to wear something that matches your purse or your shirt. Shoes are unique, and they should be treated that way.

Got something to say?
So sad to see an ultimatum against my tennis shoes, but I see your point. I still don’t think they deserve to be placed next to Crocs. Those are only appropriate if you’re gardening.
[…] “imaginative” a bit like an Alice In Wonderland sequence. The line contains all kinds of shoes. Unfortunately, as the website (aliceandolivia.com) isn’t quite up yet, finding pictures is […]
