Glitter Glitz & Glam
What do Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty all have in common? If you thought they were all princesses you would only be half correct. Though I can’t confirm with 100 percent accuracy on Sleeping Beauty’s status, for argument’s sake, and purposes of today’s discussion, let’s agree they all wore heels when they were dressed in their princessy finest.
Princess for a Day
So the other day during an email exchange with one of my blogger friends, Khaya Ronkainen, we talked briefly about wearing flats with evening attire. While we know that every single woman on the planet does not wear heels, generally speaking, for many fancy soirees we typically see women in heels. So today I wanted to share a few cocktail party/formal combinations featuring pointy toe flats.
Sizzling Sequins
Our first look that I affectionately refer to as Princess for a Day consists of velvet-looking navy flats with wraparound ankle laces. A regal navy skater dress with gold sequined bodice works nicely with the shoes and gold glittered minaudiere (clutch).
Silver Red
Black suede flats adorned with gold-embroidered butterfly wings that covers the entire toe (half butterfly on each shoe, when placed together form a complete butterfly) compliment a black long-sleeved, sequined cocktail dress. The clutch is black suede with a tassel zipper, and gold accents including.
Lace Champagne
Silver holographic glittered d’Orsays detailed with a tiny bow atop a mini t-strap are stunning with an elegant long red sleeveless gown. A small pewter hard case clutch encased in silver cutout shell finishes this ensemble.
The rhinestone/jewel embellished blush colored metallic flats with, thin ankle strap, lace champagne cocktail dress and camel colored snake-embossed box clutch make for a pretty neutral combination.
All of these examples demonstrate how you can were flats for dressy occasions. Who says you can’t be stylish, elegant or sexy when wearing ballet flats? With a myriad of colors, styles, textures, buckles, straps, laces, and embellishments from which to choose you can be dressed to the nines.
So there you have it!! With the holidays just around the corner now you have some pretty foot-friendly options that will ensure your comfort without compromising your sophistication.
