Festive Attire! It does not stop at your ankles!
Why Shoes Matter
I adore helping my clients get dressed for festive events. This is probably because I adore getting dressed for festive events. Truth be told, I love doing it on a Saturday night. Getting dressed up helps us separate our work/home lives from actual occasions. We need to celebrate more! That is my motto.
I will tell you a little secret - I look at the shoes in the first glance. I can not help myself. I judge (just a little). Many amazing looks have been made or broken by a pair of shoes.
Standard Choices
For Ladies
- • A black suede sandal
- • A metallic sandal or platform
For Guys
- • A velvet loafer
- • A black cap toe
- • A black Chelsea boot
Unexpected Choices (I Love Raised Eyebrows)
For Ladies
- • A black ankle boot with a sequined skirt or pant
- • A patent leather high top sneaker
- • A biker boot
For Guys
- • The right high top sneaker with a tuxedo or dressy pant
- • Black converse
- • A biker boot
I love a high heel as much as anybody ever has, but they are not always called for. Sometimes you can no longer wear them. What do you do? I will help you.
Guys, if you are a sneaker head and do not feel comfortable in a dress shoe, you can rock that. It is all in how you do it. The point here is not to forget about your feet! They need to have a good time and they need to look amazing. Now let's get you some dancing shoes!
