Blue pumps! So simple, and the job is done! why haven’t I thought of it? Have you? Because I said this to myself when I stepped into the elevator in the morning at work and saw a girl wearing regular black trousers, white silk blouse with a pretty pussy bow. Kind of a standard office elegance.
But that wasn’t the part that spoke to me. It was the electric blue pumps, not any extra high heels, just the ones you would wear to work or for a drink:
Jimmy Choo Embellished Satin Pumps, net-a-porter.com: I was like “Shall I tell her how perfect that choice for her outfit was?” I was afraid of being impertinent or looking ridiculous. So I chose not to. But her outfit just let this question in my mind: why do we complicate our outfits? One smart item can save our day and send a fashion message!
Gucci Dionysus Embellished Suede Pumps at net-a-porter.com But to continue with the inspiring outfit… She did just the right thing for make up too. It was, I guess, natural tone for lips (lip gloss?), black eyeliner and little bit of mascara with a light touch of blue eyeshadows.
Jewel Badgley Mischka Hayden Embellished Ankle Strap Sandal at shop.nordstrom.com Again, nothing complicated or provocative, just a nicely done make up appropriate for work. But still she was an eye turner for the bold choice of shoes. (I don’t remember her choice of bag though.)
Christian Louboutin Harler 100 Suede Pumps at net-a-porter.com So how about us? We look into our wardrobe and usually feel like we have nothing to wear, right? But it’s not true. The solution is to think simple. It may be a radiant woolen scarf in winter or a statement belt in summer, added wisely to a regular toned outfit like camel coat or a simple beige minidress.
Sam Edelman Hazel Pointy Toe Pump at shop.nordstrom.com How about you? Can you share your tips for simple ideas that give that refreshing and stylish look to our outfits? It’s summer and we all desperately need fashion advice !!!
