YOUR GO-TO HEEL


Leg-lengthening; go-with-everything; go-tos; cost per wear; flatteringly elegant.  All of these can be said of the neutral nude patent heel.

If you haven't delved into this area yet, it's probably time you should.  I've talked about the classic nude patent court or pump before and I'm still talking about them.

I bought my Stuart Weitzman version a while back from The Rack and still rock them, whether with skinnies, a dress or shorts.  They always work.  Every time I wear them, I feel like I just got my shoe right.

So no surprise then, that every time I enter a shoe store, there are now rows and rows of a nude patent variation.  I love the classic pointed court/pump option (like these on the left) but I'm really loving the new simple style sandal we're seeing everywhere with a wide bar over the toe and a sexy ankle strap.  I found these in a store called Cathy Jean from Brazil.  The strappy sandal was selling for just $27!!  I guarantee you'll get your cost-per-wear out of these!!


Jeffrey Campbell is on the money with this pair combining the perspex heel ($129.95), so summer 2013!  



I found a version on my chiconomista travels for $28!  They're a little higher, but they do the trick and given this style will probably only last a season or so, I figured it was worth a punt for $28!  


I teamed them with a long pleated dress for a night out...


The dress was a bargain too and from a little gem I've found, it was $20!  It has a leopard bustier and a pleated chiffon skirt, with a gold chain belt.  It looks very designer!  Whole outfit $48, with $2 change from a $50!


Team your nude sandals with pajama style pants....

TOTAL OUTFIT: $45!



I love the tailoring with the looseness of these pants and the heel just adds the elegance needed to not look like you're wearing your pajamas!  These are so lightweight and a great option for the summer months!

Or rock with shorts.....


Gold Top $10 H&M, Skort $40 Zara, Purse $10 Primark UK, Lion Chain $12 Claire's
TOTAL OUTFIT: $72!

These skorts are probably one of Zara's best-selling lines this season and also come in black.  They are great with flats and heels and a go-to for casual or going out.

Definitely wear with skinnies and boyfriend skinnies....



Slouchy Tee $20 Zara, Worn Boyfriend Skinnies $50 Vigoss, The Rack, Necklace $20 boutique
TOTAL OUTFIT: $90!




I can't get enough of my boyfriend skinnies and adding the heel makes them look more stylish.  Tuck your slouchy tee slightly in at the front and add a long chain to take the look from plain to style icon!
