2 Shoes, 2 Ways (Or, How To Wear Those Not-So-Practical Shoes You Just Had To Have)

When I head to market there are two ways I select shoes to go in our store. The first is when I see something and think to myself, “I would wear that all the time.” I am a true believer in versatility. The second is when I have an emotional reaction to something and think the total opposite: “I have no idea why I would ever need to own those but for some reason I must have them.” I guess we could call that a Carrie Bradshaw moment. Know what I mean? That fleeting instant when you think you have the life where you can run around all day in tulle, fur, and high heels?Then reality hits and you think, okay, now I need to figure out how to wear these things.This pre-fall we have two very impulse-driven shoes. I admit both are already in my closet as we speak.The glitter booties from Veronica Beard seem like they are challenging but I have worn them constantly. They are also comfortable; I have worked all day in them. They might not be work appropriate for everyone, but for weekends and going out they could not be more fun.Next up is a pair of yellow satin mules with ostrich feathers by Tory Burch. These shoes are like no others in your closet. A true statement shoe, you almost find an event to wear them to instead of waiting on one to hit your calendar. Just make sure it isn’t raining!
