Stepping outside of the box (on a killer heel)

Megan covets many shoes (especially sexy librarian pumps), but when it comes to buying, she's all about building a classic, versatile collection of soles.

I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t take a lot of fashion risks, especially with shoes. While I observe (and often covet) the trends, when it comes to the actual shopping experience, I mostly stick to the classic basics. I have my basic neutral brown wedges that go with everything, my black stilettos that go with all my dresses, and my everyday black flats, but nothing too flashy or adventurous.

Until now.

Behold my new smokin’ hot pair of pewter peep-toe booties! I saw them on Forever 21’s website and instantly fell in love with their rock-star fashionista vibe. And at $24.80, I’m able to try out the trend without too much of a commitment.


Check out some pricier alternatives: one by Steven by Steve Madden and another by Moschino.

Moral of the story: Step outside of your box once in awhile. Buy something that you wouldn’t normally wear but still appeals to you. Chances are, you’ll freshen up your wardrobe — and build a style that’s a little more you!

  • Great post Megan, I couldn’t agree more. I have an absolute shoe fetish but find myself reluctant to step outside the box sometimes. Your insight serves as a kick in the tush to get me moving in the right direction..

    I wouldn’t normally consider peep toe booties in my wardrobe but I love those Moschino’s. Wish me luck!

    Thanks,

    Jo
