There is one element of fashion that seems to be purely in the realm of female understanding, and that is the importance of shoes. Having the right pair for your feet can make or break an outfit, and may be able to tie an entire ensemble together all on it’s own. But a big mistake so many women make is relying on any store bought pair of pumps, when they have a fabulous outfit that needs to be shown off. Instead of grabbing those $10 strappy sandals, why not opt for a pair of designer shoes?

Now, I know what you are probably thinking: I don’t have money to be throwing around on a closet full of Prada shoes! Luckily, you don’t have to have a pair to fit every day, just every major occasion. Do you have an amazing pant suit that is gorgeous, but could use a few accessories to really pump it up? What about that perfect little black dress that would look great with a string of pearls and a fantastic pair of heels?

Buying one or two pairs of shoes, be they Gucci shoes or Hugo Boss will be enough to last you for every major event where nothing short of amazing will do. That is the beauty of going with a label: you don’t have to worry that someone will notice you wearing the same pair with every outfit. They are so incredible that anyone would wear them over and over again, if they were lucky enough to own them.
