Shoe Boxers

White shoes used to be a taboo after labor day. They were worn strictly in summer only. But now white is the new black, and white shoes are popping up as the color (or non-color) to wear for not only spring and summer, but for winter as well.

Now, I wear a large size shoe; I am admittedly a big foot girl, so I have avoided white shoes like the plague all my life. It’s kind of like that optical illusion of wearing black — you look slimmer. So most of my shoes are that ever-so-fashionable black. But I’m really rethinking the propostion of white shoes. I’m seeing sooo many that are white hot!

Check out Nine West – always fashionable and always reasonable. They have a white shoe in every category — flats, wedges, platforms, sandals. I like this cute little flat. I just wonder how big my foot will look in them…

Nordstrom always has up-to-the-minute fashionable shoes. I found a few pair of whites that I might actually have the nerve to wear. This absolutely cute wedge by Michael Kors is Vanilla with Navy stripes. I suppose when I’m feeling nautical this might be the appropriate shoe. Not only is it white hot, it’s in patent and a wedge heel. 3 trends in one shoe. If you are the trendinista, this is the shoe for you. And priced right under $100, it’s a no-brainer.
I think this open toe slingback pump by Vince Camuto is perfect for me. With the cut out leather which reminds me of eyelet, it’s not too much of a good thing. And and ideal choice for me with my phobia of my feet looking like giant submarines in white shoes. Mind you, no decent designer would call their shoes “white”. Notice Michael Kors, his are Vanilla. And this one by Caumto is Cream. It too is available at Nordstrom for $119.95.

Now I have to give this one bit of fashion advice. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT wear black hoisery with white shoes. That is just plain ugly. Remember, your hoisery matches your shoes. Now in the rare case you are an avant garde type of chick, that may work for you, but for the rest of us, stick with the program of basic fashion sense.

So step out of your comfort zone. Try on a pair of white shoes for size.
