I love shoes! They just add that extra flair to any outfit especially if you are wearing basics, it is nice to spice up an ensemble with a killer shoe. Unfortunately, my shoe budget is rather limited and I am forced to wear my shoes to death. Living in the city and walking/metro'ing/cabbing everywhere really takes a toll on my soles, so being the planner I am I have scoured some sites to see what shoes and styles I am gravitating toward this season. I narrowed the list down to a few pair of must have shoes and how I intend to wear them.
Rix - Mix : Fall 2010 Shoe Essentials
1. Black Ankle Booties (Belle 85 Leather Ankle Boots by Christian Louboutin)
To me a black leather ankle bootie makes any outfit chic. They are polished and conservative enough for work, but can still give that slight rocker edge (which i am always drawn to). There are endless possibilities when styling these - rock them with bare legs and a mini dress for a sassy look or throw them on with opaque black tights to wear anywhere....
Rix-Mix styling suggestions:
leggings and an oversized sweater or other causal basics make for the perfect weekend uniform |
A wild way to mix it up. Since I tend to dress on the more plain/classic side of thing a dash of leopard never hurt any outfit of mine. A shoe is the perfect way to incorporate this trend into a conservative work environment or without going full on tribal.
Rix-Mix Styling suggestions:
Channeling classic 50's audrey. nothing more chic than a skinny cropped black pant, top and flats. is it just me or would this also be crying for a red lip? i think so....
3. Flat Brown Boot (Riley Flat Zip Boot by Loeffler Randall, image via loefflerrandall.com)
Rix-Mix Styling suggestions:
casual daytime wear will be an oxford, dark skinnies and a big, colorful scarf around the neck

button down oxford by JCrew |
For a heel-less night out i'm thinking bare legs, a body-concious black mini dress, layered chunky bracelets, and a hot chain bag

*These are not an essential (unfortunately) but I wouldn't be me if I didn't have an obsession with something that is way beyond my means....a girl can dream though.
