Shoe Shape

I need some new shoes. But I'm planning to wear them with my classic, non-trendy clothes from last Spring. Will this work?


The best way to update classic pieces, like a pencil skirt, jeans, or a denim jacket, is to add new shoes to the outfit. This can change the focus and add pizazz.
For this year, there are two shapes to look for: the caged sandal and the tee-strap.

Designer

Affordable

BTW, you can update your classic pieces from last year by adding a hot item:
Printed Cardigan $20

Click on The cardi pic to see what a difference the styling makes.
The model in the header ad has a styled outfit; collared shirt under, cardi opened to create central (white) color block and narrow bright belt. The blonde model in the cardi view has the cardi buttoned up over a tiny white vee and dark denim jeans. The print adds width here and the whole effect is less polished.

Pres, thanks for all the links. I appreciate the visuals. It really helps to learn what a difference a little styling can make. The buttoned up cardi looks older and the model looks wider. Unbuttoned and belted? New and fresh.
