What's an Outfit Without a Great Pair of Shoes?

It is truly amazing how a shoe can completely change an outfit, a wardrobe, and even a state of mind. Most women would agree that a certain pair of shoes can dictate their mood, a special pair of heels can make them feel extra bold and sexy, and transform an outfit from o.k. to amazing. I am sure many women would shamelessly credit a pair of shoes for getting them a date or promotion they wanted, they may even credit their shoes with getting them through hard times. Plain and simple, while it may be a tough reality to admit to a fashionite like myself who is not that in to shoes, most often the success of an outfit relies solely on the footwear you choose. So, in an effort to stick to my resolution of reconsidering my style and taking risks, I thought I would build my shoe collection, one pair at a time.

Instantly, potential outfits flashed in my head and I knew they would fit seamlessly into my existing wardrobe, which was the only way to justify the $335 price tag, that and how amazing I would feel in them every single time I wore them. The shoes strike a great balance between being perfectly in style but also classic enough to last beyond a single season. Spring's trends are all about the statement shoe, and I think that this is a great way to get the look without making an investment in an item that is too of-the-moment. So, while it may be a long time until I can actually wear them, I can start saving now and reward myself as soon as spring arrives. You can get them at Piperlime with free shipping (both ways) and 3% cash back. I will feel solace too, in knowing that the more I spend, the more cash back I earn...
