Shoes, Glorious Shoes!

I recently read about a study where random people were asked to bring in their favorite pair of shoes. Then, a class of college students were asked to guess the attributes of the person who owns the shoes, by seeing only the shoes, not the people. Turns out, the students were 90% correct! Wow, it makes shoe shopping even more important than I thought it was before, as it evidently broadcasts to the world who I am. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

 

In the first season of The Lisa Robertson Show, we focused primarily on fashion. We brought in a lot of great accessories in The Looks, but didn't actually present too many pairs of shoes.  So this Friday on QVC.com, we’re bringing back the two pairs of shoes that made our “Napa Native,” “Island Chic,” and “California Girl” looks:

Island Chic
California Girl

 

What I think flats (specifically the R2 by Report Beatiz Knotted Sandals with Zip Detail (A222891)) say about the woman who wears them is that she's sophisticated, but balanced. She's not going to suffer in high heels all day, but she's not going to give up her sense of style, either. When you want to let people know that you're someone who goes the extra mile to pay attention to the details, these shoes definitely do that. Most women put effort into the fashion that's more eye-level. Putting attention into the look from head to toe sets you apart. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

 

There are times, however, when a good bit of height is exactly what you want. It makes you seem more confident and in-control because you're able to look people directly in the eye. (Plus, high heels make you look thinner too, so count me in!) So when you're seeking height this summer, make wedges your "go-to" shoes. This season, wedges have become stronger and more substantial in their style. They used to be understated and a finishing touch. Now they're the focal point of your outfit. The Charles by Charles David Trove Multi-Strap Wedges (A224253) are a perfect example of this. They're an updated wedge that lets people know that you know fashion. Plus, thanks to the sturdy wedge design, they’re totally wearable and can take you places your stilettos can’t.

 

We all love options in everything, especially shoes. I think these are two really good ones. More must-have fashion to come on PM Style this Monday at 7pm ET.

 

I’ll see you then!
