Just got in these white Jill Stuart pumps and I was floored (I LOVE WHITE SHOES), bummed (they're not my size), ecstatic (someone will be really lucky to get these) and right away I texted my bestfriend to notify her of what just came into the shop (she is the same size as these shoes). I've been searching for the "perfect" white leather pumps for the longest time. But there was always something "wrong" with the ones I found-- either they are not white "enough" or the heels were in wood or metal. Louboutin made one, but with the red soles, I thought it looked more like a candy cane (God bless the man, I am a Louboutin's wh0re--but not that particular [and only] one). Don't think I am crazy, nor am I a nurse, but I've always loved white shoes. Since I was a little kid up until now. From my Keds, to my white McDonald's maryjanes (yes, McDonald's used to make shoes and my dad had really good taste. He also bought me my 15 pairs of Keds--love you), to my white Marc Jacobs' "mouse" flats, which I've worn to death and is still sitting in my closet while I figure out how to revive them!
Most people think "white shoes" and all these thoughts will come to their head: how hard it will be to wear? Will they look make you look like a nurse? How can they match white shoes? Do they now have to go out and buy a white bag? (woo sah) Before we all go crazy, let's relax. In reality, it's just as easy as a classic pair of black Manolo's Mary-Janes. In fact, I think they deserve to be in the same category! It's really simple and we all learned this since we were in the simple age of 6 at kindergarten, the first two colors we learned were probably black and white. Heck, what color was the chalk used on that ugly green board? White has been in our lives forever and it is not going to go anywhere. There are many rules to wearing white shoes, but most importantly, wear it with CONFIDENCE!
You do NOT have to match them! In fact if you do, it will just look like you tried too hard and we don't want that, now do we? DO however, make sure your outfit has some white in it (a pearl necklace, t-shirt, tank, scarf, ring, etc..). Personally, I'm not a huge fan of shoes matching bags.
-DON'T wear it with just RED, if you must, break it up with some black. I'm sorry, but you WILL remind people of a candy cane or the holiday's are near. July 4th anyone? Christmas? You don't want that either.
Just keep it simple. If you're wearing something with a pretty print and has some white in it, whip out the white shoes. If you feeling "blah" about your outfit, take out the white shoes. If you miss summer? BRING OUT THE WHITE SHOES. Rules are made to be broken. Yeah, some say no white after Labor Day weekend. Well I say, it looks good and I don't give! It's that simple. Fashion (and life) is so much easier, when you don't think, don't stress and just love it!
Have a good weekend everyone!
