The perfect shoe

Finding the right shoe can be the most challenging part of putting a look together. Whether you have too many options or cycle through the same two pairs on repeat, topping off (or rather, bottoming off) your outfit can be daunting.

There are four shoe styles every stylista should have in her closet.

1. The basic pump. A nude or black usually serves as the most useful. Wear your pumps with cropped dress-pants to elongate your legs. 
2.  The go-to flat. Let’s be real- heels aren’t the most comfortable thing in the world and if you’re on your feet more than an hour a day, you may want an alternate option. Flats tend to work best with shorts, a dress or skirt with an above-the-knee hemline, and skinny or straight leg jeans. 
3. The fun wedge. Wedges are hot for spring and summer. If you decide to go all out and get a wild color, keep it solid or as part of a multi-colored print. Doing so will make the shoe more wearable. (And don’t try to be ‘matchy-matchy’. Let your shoe do the talking!) 
4.  The sassy boot. Your boots may sit in the lonely corner of your closet during the summer, but the chilly fall and brutal winter months are their time to shine.
