Shoes essentials

Shoe Essentials Keep your style covered all-year-around!

They keep you covered on all seasons, occasions, never go out of style and work with almost everything! It'll save you from having to buy countless pairs to go with countless dresses. So secure these essentials before doing any more of impulsive shoe shopping.
  • White Sneakers -- I personally like tennis shoe styles like Keds and the newest Converse with flatter heels. Regular white canvas shoes are good too. They're cheap and comfy.
  • Flat Shoes -- closed cute shoes like ballerinas (rounded toe), flat pumps (a li'll pointier but slimming), loafers
  • Black Pumps -- a pair of musts that are versatile enough to wear for dates, formal occasions, parties, office work, etc.
  • Leather Boots -- aaah yes, they're sexy with most outfits and are a popular choice when winter is around the corner. I personally have several pair in flat and heel style (for days when I want to feel sexy and other days when I would rather go for comfort but look stylish)
  • Sandals -- secure a couple of sandals in both flat and heel style. For summer and beach/tropical vacays

Note: Keep reading as I'll go into further details on each shoe type further down this page!
