Statement Heels

Hey Gorgeous,

Today we're going to talk about statement shoes. While I preach about every wardrobe needing the basics, I also believe that having statement pieces is also a necessity... Is that a double standard? I think so! Really what I'm trying to say is that while having the basics is extremely fundamental, having a few killer statement pieces in the form of accessories and shoes is always a great way to spice up your basic outfits.

I'm wearing a pair of Gucci pumps that slay the game. Literally. The silver detailing on this pair of heels makes me feel like I'm wearing jewelry on my feet! While on the hunt for the perfect statement pieces there are a few questions you should ask yourself before spending major $$$.

Is this statement item going to be in style in 5-10 years?

Is this statement item practical?

Is this statement item worth it?

Is this statement item easy to style?

If you answered yes to all 4 questions then *ding* *ding* *ding* you have yourself a winner!

I could make like 10 posts on different kinds of statement items worth buying, but for this post I'm going to stick with shoes. So I went digging around the internet and found a few pairs of shoes that pass those 4 questions with flying colors.

Silver Oxford Platform Shoes: I just purchased these bad boys and think they might just be the coolest oxford shoes I've ever seen in my life. They're so unique and funky which is why I fell in love with them.

Perspex Heel Ankle Boots: Guys... The Perspex heel trend has been going on for quite some time and I have a feeling like it's not going away any time soon. But even if this trend still isn't super big throughout time, I still feel like these sick shoes will drop jaws in 5-10 years.

Silver Sparkly Ankle Boots: omg... If Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz was a modern teenage girl, I'm absolutely positive she'd swap the red flats for these silver sparkly ankle boots. I want these so bad!

When rocking a statement heel you don't need to go all out with jewelry. I kept this outfit super simple by wearing a silver beaded bracelet and some long earrings. The dress I'm wearing is from June & Hudson, I recommend this style of dress to all different kinds of figured women. The lined design of the dress didn't pick up very well on camera, but it's kind of a ribbed texture. This is a bandage dress, meaning it's tight yet forgiving. It hugs in at all the right places, but stretches where it needs to (like the booty & chest area). HERE is a very similar dress made by the same brand.

Aspire to be Inspired.
