I was watching the Emmy’s when I saw a commercial from Macy’s about shoes. Clinton Kelly stated, “Shoes are the most important accessory of any outfit”. He tends to think that shoes set the tone of an outfit. I guess he has a point – if you are wearing a beautiful gown, you really need beautiful shoes. Wearing cowboy boats or sneakers – no matter how nice you think they are – will not look “right” with a gown. This really got me thinking – especially since I have many shoe issues. One of the most common fashion “statements” I see out there is the heavy, “Ugg” type boot with shorts. When the cooler weather starts I also see a lot of jeans and flip flops. Both of these are a complete “oxymoron”. If the weather is hot enough for shorts why are you wearing boots that are supposed to be keeping your feet warm? And again, if the weather is getting cool enough for jeans – what is the point of flip flops. I am a very practical person and I cannot understand either of these looks.
What about you – do you wear either of these looks? Do you like the “look” or are you hoping that it is a phase that will end very soon??
