Balance your shoes with your outfit

Over the weekend I saw some fashion show or the other on local TV and I said to myself...there's obviously no shoe stylist on this set. Apparently it was a model competition so I guess the girls were left to fend for themselves where shoes were concerned. BUT, they were showing off pieces by local and international designers, so why wasn't there proper styling?

The proper shoe and accessories is so important when showing off a design, or even when you're just stepping out for that matter. If you're wearing a fabulous dress with a bad shoe, your whole look is thrown off. Its very important to balance your clothes with your shoe. A dainty dress will need a dainty shoe, a rugged outfit a rugged shoe, a tailored outfit a tailored shoe and so on and so forth. Mixing the type is also necessary, a wow shoe to add pizazz to a simple outfit or a simple shoe to let a fabulous dress shine.

If you only have one pair of black shoes, it should never be something as heavy as gladiator heels, which I saw a lot of these girls wearing on the runway. Gladiator shoes do not go with everything. Your first pair of black heels should be a classic pump or a classy, strappy sandal as those are the safest options. Then again movie stars with million dollar budgets and stylists at their beck and call still can't quite get the combination right, so maybe I shouldn't be so  hard on these girls. But shame on the producers for not having shoe stylists available.

Anyway I started visiting my favourite fashion blogs for examples to show and I didn't have to go far. Red Carpet Fashion featured J. Lo in this horrid outfit as soon as I clicked over....
