If The Shoe Fits…

If The Shoe Fits…
by Lauren McKelvey

Nobody can ever have too many pairs of shoes.  Shoes are a girl’s best friend.  This spring, shoes are one of the main focuses in fashion.  With new styles and trends rising, it’s definitely time to go shoe shopping.  If the shoe fits…buy it in every color!

Perhaps the most controversial trend in footwear this season is the “shootie.”  This interesting spring shoe combines the concept of fall’s bootie with the styles and trends of spring sandals.  The “shootie” is literally a sheer bootie made of materials like mesh, netting, and vinyl.  Whether these shoes are for you or not, they’ll be everywhere in the coming months.

If the “shootie” is too bold to rock on your feet this spring, fear not – there are plenty of other simpler trends in footwear for the season.  Big chunky heels will be taking over not only the runway, but also the sidewalks as a casual day-to-day heel.  Look for a variety of these block heels in cork, wood, and so much more.

The minimalist approach really stands out this season so don’t be afraid to go almost barefoot with simple strappy shoes with a skinny heel.  This trend is a great way to show off your new pedicure with a fun and flirty sundress and strappy sandal combo.

Cuffed heels are another hot trend for the spring.  These heels can be a variety of different styles but they all have one thing in common: the ankle cuff.  Unfortunately, this cuff can be difficult to pull off for everybody and should be worn with discretion.

For ladies with long and slender legs, a thick cuff with decorative buttons or buckles is ideal and for shorter legs, try a more strappy cuff with a wedge heel and a shorter dress to lengthen the legs.
