Shoes: The Must-Have Fashion Accessory

I consider myself a pretty simple girl when it comes to fashion. I like simple colors and patterns, and I'm not huge on belts, scarves or a lot of jewelry. The one thing that I really enjoy though, are shoes. Shoes, I honestly believe, are a girl's best friend. I know, I know, most people say diamonds are. But, diamonds are usually given. Shoes, on the other hand, you can buy yourself. Diamonds are expensive. Shoes don't have to be. Those are just a few quick reasons why shoes are a must have accessory for me. Here's a couple more.

Shoes can make or break an outfit. I firmly believe this. For instance, today I wore a pair of plaid pants and a black shirt. But my shoes were 3 inch black heels with a ruffle. And I'm pretty sure that's all anyone noticed about my outfit. Now I debated between those and a pair of bright yellow sandals. I chose the heel because they were more dramatic, which makes an outfit. If I had worn something else, it would have been a completely boring outfit, but the shoes made it an interesting one.

Shoes can express who you are. I work in an office, where the norm is business casual. Which is nice, but sometimes you want to dress it up a little bit. But, in an office full of business casual people, you don't want to show up and be completely overdressed or dressed inappropriately. The way I fix this is by wearing a pair of bright red heels or a pair of ruffled heels. They are fancy, but not over the top. They dress up an outfit without changing it completely.

Shoes have the ability to dress up or dress down an outfit. Sometimes clothes don't fit exactly the way you want them to. Even though you look great, you don't always feel great. Shoes, on the other hand, always fit. And they always look good. They can give you confidence when you don't have much in your outfit. For me, they can define an outfit, and get people talking. For me, complimenting my shoes is one of the biggest compliments I can get. Because I put a lot of thought into them. When I don't take a lot of time to do other things, I do with shoes. Because they are a simple way to make a beautiful outfit.
