ADIDAS SUPERSTAR SNEAKERS
Additional Info: A classic sneaker is great for casual days. Something like this brand name shoe really adds to an outfit so find your favorite pair and curate an outfit around them.
Substitution: Any casual sneaker
Color Coordination: Pair with Jeans, Dresses, Skirts or Shorts and add a Military Jacket, Varsity Jacket or Moto Jacket and Stand-Out Accessories
BLACK HEELS
Additional Info: An essential for any woman. Pick a classic, textured, pointy-toe heel in a height you can handle; meaning you can walk in them without wobbling. For the office, special events or a night out they are a must have.
Substitution: Any black heel
Color Coordination: Any Jeans, Trousers, Skirts and Dresses
BLACK LACE UP BOOTIES
Additional Info: Swap these with the black heels in cooler weather. Choose a suede version with laces that stay tied. There’s nothing worse than wax covered laces that are constantly coming untied.
Substitution: Black Heels
Color Coordination: Any Jeans, Trousers, Skirts and Dresses
BLACK MOTORCYCLE BOOTS
Additional Info: Look for something chunky with little-to-no heel. Buckles and zippers are a plus. Go with black or a gun metal grey.
Substitution: Any black low-heel boots
Color Coordination: Skinny Jeans, Boyfriend Jeans or Leggings
BLACK SANDAL
Additional Info: Pick something that makes your foot look pretty. There are so many styles out there. I know that a therapeutic looking comfortable sandal might appeal to you, but try to step out of your box and go with something more stylish, you’re not going to live in them and they’ll compliment your look so much better. Match your metals to gold or silver, whatever you wear the most, but don’t be afraid to mix metals. I love that look!
Substitution: Any Black Sandal
Color Coordination: Shorts, Skirts, Skinny Jeans, Boyfriend Jeans or Dresses
CAMEL HEEL
Additional Info: Pick a camel color that’s more orange than beige. We’re not looking for a Cover Girl foundation color; we’re looking for a warmer, caramel-y color. Something textured, pointy-toe and a heel height you can handle; meaning you can walk in them without wobbling. I prefer a Camel heel over a Chocolate Brown heel any day.
Substitution: Any neutral heel
Color Coordination: Any Jeans, Trousers, Skirts and Dresses
CAMEL WEDGE SANDAL
Pick a camel color that’s more orange than beige. Same as before, we’re not looking for a Cover Girl foundation color; we’re looking for a warmer, caramel-y color. Choose something that pairs well with your straw hat and bag. Coordinating these pieces will give you so much flexibility when pairing outfits, plus it’s a perfect look for Spring/Summer and sometimes into fall.
Substitution: Camel Sandal
Color Coordination: Shorts, Skirts and Dresses
CLASSIC CHUCK TAYLOR SNEAKERS
Additional Info: An alternative to the All-stars. I love both and think one or the other is a great choice for anyone. They pair with tons and add a little classic style.
Substitution: Adidas All Stars or and White Sneaker.
Color Coordination: Pair with Jeans, Dresses, Skirts or Shorts and add a Military Jacket, Varsity Jacket or Moto Jacket and Stand-Out Accessories
COGNAC SANDALS
Additional Info: Pick something that makes your foot look pretty. There are so many styles out there. Coordinate these with your Cognac booties and you’ll always have a warmer weather option to swap with.
Substitution: Any Neutral Sandal
Color Coordination: Shorts, Skirts, Skinny Jeans, Boyfriend Jeans or Dresses
COGNAC SHORT BOOTS
Additional Info: Pick something suede with a red/orange undertone. These are so gorgeous for fall but can be worn into winter and spring. Look for an updated version of a short cowboy boot, but softer and not so structured.
Substitution: Cognac Sandals or Mushroom Suede Booties
Color Coordination: Pair with Jeans, Dresses, Skirts or Shorts and add a Military Jacket, Varsity Jacket or Moto Jacket and Stand-Out Accessories
DARK TEXTURED FLATS
Additional Info: These are a flat, casual alternative for your heels. Wear them the same, just on days where being closer to the ground suits you. I like a snakeskin or animal print so that it had more depth to the outfit. Go with a pointy toe option, it makes your legs look longer.
Substitution: Any Dark Flat
Color Coordination: Any Jeans, Trousers, Skirts or Shorts
LIGHT TEXTURED FLATS
Additional Info: These are a flat, casual alternative for your heels. Having a pair of dark and a pair of light means you’ll always have a dressy flat option for any outfit. I like a snakeskin or animal print so that it had more depth to the outfit. Go with a pointy toe option, it makes your legs look longer.
Substitution: Any Light Flat
Color Coordination: Any Jeans, Trousers, Skirts or Shorts
MULTI METALLIC SANDAL
Additional Info: Mixing metallics into your wardrobe is great for times when you want to dress things up a bit. Going with something that has gold, silver and bronze in it is a plus because they literally match everything!
Substitution: Any Neutral Sandal
Color Coordination: Shorts, Skirts, Skinny Jeans, Boyfriend Jeans or Dresses
MUSHROOM SHORT BOOTS
Additional Info: More of a greyish/brown undertone is what you’re looking for. Coordinate this with your fringe crossbody bag because pairing those two pieces together will give you tons of outfit option to go with them. Something suede with a soft structure is what you’re looking for.
Substitution: Cognac Booties or Light Textured Flats
Color Coordination: Pair with Jeans, Dresses, Skirts or Shorts and add a Military Jacket, Varsity Jacket or Moto Jacket and Stand-Out Accessories
PRINTED OR TEXTURED HEEL
Additional Info: This is a great time to incorporate leopard into your wardrobe in a subtle but noticeable way. This print acts as a neutral and can be swapped anytime the outfit calls for black heels. Go for a pointy toe in a height you can handle confidently. Don’t go with a platform heel, just a classic heel. You don’t want to limit where you can wear them. If you don’t go for leopard, try a snakeskin or reptile texture. The colors in these leave your options of what to wear them with wide open!
Substitution: Black Heels, Dark Flats
Color Coordination: Any Jeans, Trousers, Skirts and Dresses.
