9 CHIC SHOES RULES
1. BUY ONLY SHOES THAT FITS YOU WELL: Even if you love that high heeled shoes, even if its perfect for your dress, if its does not fit you and you are not comfortable with it then don't buy it.Limping around in heels is not sexy at all.
2. BE BOLD, WEAR BRIGHTS: An electric hue can amp up a look, including outfits in colors other than black and denim. Try colored shoes with white, khaki, and pastels. A scarlet-red dress, however, calls for neutral footwear.
3. WEAR WHATS APPROPRIATE: Flip flops maybe the in thing now, but you don't want to be caught on it while your on conservative office get up while flats may be too casual for a cocktail dress. And of course the sneakers/running shoes should only be used to gym clothes or casual jeans. For your date, if you are wearing your girly, flirty dress, it should also be the same with your shoes.
4. Going Outdoors? Say No to Stilettos
It will be hard for you to walk on heels in the ground, it will sink into the ground and you don't want to ruin your shoes.Flat shoes are fine but if you want height wedges are perfect for you.
5. Make a Statement A spindly stiletto sandal is all about looking sexy, while a bow-emblazoned kitten heel veers more toward cute. Know what look you're going for, and go full out.Of course, most of us would rather be sexy than cute.
6. Va-va-voom Shoes Have Their Place Nighttime is the right time for attention-getting shoes. If you don't have a date on valentine's day and you plan of having a gimik night with your friends, this is the right time to wear it. If you still want to wear a knock-'em-dead look during the day, choose a closed-toe or peep-toe pump.
7. Pair Sky-High Shoes with Tame Hemlines When going for major air, keep your hemlines at an inch above the knee. But when wearing a short skirt or dress, wear a lower heel or flat — it will balance you out and keep you from showing altogether too much leg.You may want to keep it tame, put your wild side where they belong.
8. Wear Flats with Properly Hemmed Clothes Make sure your clothing is tailored or you'll risk looking sloppy. A trouser leg should fall at or above the ankle, while skirts or dresses should end above the knee.
9. Think About Balance (And we're not talking about the kind you need to walk.) A thicker-heeled shoe grounds a heavily layered look, when something dainty could look off balance. The reverse also holds true. When wearing a wispy frock, a thin-strapped sandal is an appropriate match.
Locally, if you are looking for a date shoes, a knock-'em-dead shoes, i suggest you go to Janylin's Shop in Glorietta 5, they are in Glorietta but they got it all for you.:-)
