How to choose the right shoe for your dress.

Ok so we all know that shoes make the entire outfit. In this post I'll teach you how to pair the perfect pair of shoes to your dress. There are hundreds of thousands of millions of dresses out there so how do you find the right pair of shoes to wear? Since last post I used forever21.com for examples, today, I'll use LuLus.com.

LITTLE BLACK DRESS

__Shoe choices

Mixx Laura 08 Black Kid Suede Studded Pradaesque Heels - Because the 'Little Black Dress' can be so plain, adding a little something like studs on the heels can spice up the entire outfit.

Mixx Luisa 02 Red Patent Peep Toe Platform High Heel - Not only do peep toes add to the sexy, the color red takes the black dress to a whole other demension. Also applicable are colors that SCREAM like turquoise, yellow, & purple.


Print Dresses

Anne Michelle Spicy 01 Gray A Caged Girl Sings Heel - The multi straps to these heels keep the sexy to this dress consistent as well as keeping the shoes in the same color scheme instead of exact matching.

Jeffrey Campbell Mesher Black Leather Peep Toe Bootie - Maybe its just personal instinct but the white top half of the dress screams BOOTIES to me. Wearing booties with a print dress adds edge and urban sense to your look.


Maxi Dresses

Cleopatra Montana Black Stitched and Studded Cuffed Thong - Maxi dresses by far are the most confusing dresses to match shoes with. Girls ask themselves "Sandals? Heels? Wedges?" The general rule is when wearing a maxi dress, wear SANDALS.

Bamboo Gabby 06 Beige and Turquoise Pool Party Thong - Personally, this season I'm more into the jeweled sandals over the strappy gladiators.


Strapless Dresses

Summertime Dress by Obey
__Shoe choices

Jeffrey Campbell Mary Roks Gray Suede Platform Bootie - Denim and wedges go hand in hand. With a dress like this one it's easy to get boring with sandals and overly tacky with the wrong pair of heels. Wedges balances out this dress perfectly.

Jeffrey Campbell K-Genius Grey Belt Appeal Canvas Wedge Boot - I DIE FOR SHOES LIKE THIS. For those of who you have a little rocker inside of you this is boot is the way to go. It creates a spunk and to be honest people who can't pull this look off swear that the ones who can are quite ballsy. Unique pieces paired with a simple dress can ultimately salvage the possibility of people falling asleep while looking at you.

There are obviously a ton of other dresses you may need help pairing the perfect shoe with so please don't hesitate to email me or leave comments asking for help. I'll answer any questions you have! Thanks for tuning in!
