Meditations of a Female Shoeaholic



Sometimes, when it comes to shoes, I wish I was a man. It would be really nice to only have three or four pairs of shoes and not have to worry about whether they matched or not. A pair of sneakers, a pair of brown casual shoes, a pair of boots and a pair of black lace-ups and a guy is good to go. Since styles in basic men’s shoes don’t change very often, you can buy one quality pair of each and wear them until they can’t be re-heeled anymore. No wonder why guys don’t complain about their feet hurting- their shoes are always perfectly broken in.

Women, on the other hand, have to own multiple pairs of even the same color shoes. Take black, for instance. Between shoes and boots, I have to own about eight or nine pair. I have four pairs of boots in different heel and shaft height and three or four pairs of flat heeled shoes. That leaves the five or six pairs of heels, which are appropriate with different outfits. Wait a minute- that totals more than eight or nine. I think I’m in denial about the number of shoes I own. And that’s just the black ones.

Believe it or not, there are still times when I have an outfit on and have trouble finding a pair of shoes in my closet that look just right. Trust me- I am far from the only woman who experiences this. Is it any wonder it takes us women so long to get ready?

So guys, the next time you are looking in your closet and getting dressed for that meeting or date, say a small thank you as you pick out that one pair of shoes that somehow will match whichever suit or khaki slacks you choose to wear.

Ankle Boots and Skinny Jeans



The key pair of shoes to wear with skinny jeans is ankle boots, especially in winter when it gets colder. Ankle boots have changed somewhat over the last few years. They used to be quite a bit longer past the ankle, they never hugged your leg as much as they do now, and the designs weren’t half as funky as they are today.

Skinny jeans have transformed ankle boots into a fabulous fashion trend. Before skinny jeans all shoes and boots were worn under the trousers whatever type of trousers they were and so they didn’t need to be so trendy, but now you wear your shoes over the trousers, so they are on display. If you think back, stilettos always had a wide choice of funky designs to choose from because they were the only type of shoe that you could see when wearing trousers, but now ankle boots can be seen more they have thought up a lot better designs and styles.

Having more shoes and boots on display meant that the designs of the shoes needed to stand out a lot more than they used to. Today there is no end to the brand and style of boots and ankle boots you can choose from Kurt Geiger, Yves Saint Laurent, Juicy Couture, Firetrap and thousands more.

Due to jeans hugging the legs so much, the fashion has become that big baggy t-shirts and jumpers are worn on top to balance out the outfit. This can be accompanied with big bangles and necklaces to accessorize the outfit and if you are out and a about throw on a cute jacket or blazer, and there you have it, the perfect skinny jean and ankle boot outfit.

Skinny jeans made it back into the world of fashion a few years ago and while most trends come and go this style of jean doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. The great thing is that you can wear almost anything with them and they can be dressed up and dressed down just as easily.
