Foot Notes

      This season we're seeing a lot of ballet flats, oxfords and smoking slippers.  If you're wondering how to wear these low heels, you're in luck because I've got your foot notes below.

Ballet Flats- their tasteful, pretty shape goes with everything.  Instantly make your look more demure and sophisticated with these classic flats.  They can de-sex-ify a slim-fitting miniskirt, which if worn with high heels or wedges may look a bit trashy.  This Spring, try swapping out your platform pumps for a pair of ballerinas with your skinny jeans or pants.

Lace Up Oxfords- they're more tomboy than the girly ballerina.  To embrace the boyishness of these shoes wear them with cropped trousers.  The key is show off your ankles with this pant and shoe combo to make sure you stay femme in your menswear.  Pants that are too long and that touch the shoe will just make you look like a man.  The key to wearing menswear, like these oxfords, is to remind everyone you're still a lady. The other option is to contrast the boyishness of the shoe with flouncy femininity by wearing a floral skirt, for example.  Either way, it's about juxtaposing a boyish fashion with feminine style.

Slipper/Smoking Flats- wear them with boyfriend jeans for a casual look or, as with oxfords, femme it up!  A fit and flair skater skirt is perfect, but an A-line would work too.  Longer skirts, however, do not work here- unless you're going for the nerdy, Big Bang Theory look.
