It’s no secret that I love shoes. Of the several that I own, my favorites are my brightly colored ones; they make me happy just seeing them on my feet! Now, don’t get me wrong, I have tons of black shoes that work well with the everyday outfit but I’ve also learned that brightly colored shoes like blue, yellow and pink can still work with almost every outfit. Many people are hesitant to buy colorful shoes because they think that only neutrals will work with their outfits. But rather than letting my shoes blend into my outfits, I like to let them stand out and, sometimes, be the center of attention.
Here are my rules for wearing brightly colored shoes:
- Don’t think about it too much. If you spend the entire day doubting your shoes, asking yourself, “Does this pink go with my shirt?” or “Can I pull these off?” etc., then you won’t want to wear them ever again.
- Don’t be too “matchy-matchy”. If your outfit has a hint of yellow in it, then add the yellow shoes. If you are wearing a super bright top, don’t wear super bright shoes. You should let the shoes stand out on their own.
- Wear them with patterns. Patterns are often a good “background” for solid bright shoes. Similarly to my outfit below, pair your solid bright shoes with small patterns that don’t overwhelm the outfit and let the shoes be the complimentary accent.
- Wear them with confidence! When you are walking around with your fun shoes and you are loving them, people will notice them and notice you! I’ve been stopped so many times before when wearing my yellow shoes; I love wearing them and love seeing people smile when they see them!
Brightly colored shoes aren’t for the shy wallflower but, if you don’t mind taking a little risk, try them out and see how you like them! You may just inspire someone else to try them out too!
