“Clearly” Versatile

I can tell you one thing for sure, they will match with everything in your closet! I used to think that nude pumps were the shoes of all shoes, but I am beginning to believe it is the clear heel instead. What happens when you are wearing a monochromatic look from the ears down? You definitely do not want to introduce another color just because you do not have the perfect purple shoe. That is where the clear shoe game comes into play! Or how about this…you’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors and your legs are nice and bronzy. Maybe your skin-tone nude pumps are no longer your skin-tone! Do I even have to say it…CLEAR HIGH HEELLS.

Legs for Days

If you want to effortlessly lengthen the appearance of your legs, add a pair of clear high heels to your shoe collection! I am only 5 feet tall but I think it is fair to say that I appear average height in these photos. When you wear clear shoes it is like you are walking on invisible stilts, but they are far less distracting than a pair of platforms. It is only human nature to want what we cannot have!

Women in menswear was ALL over New York Fashion Week. From boyfriend blazers, suits, to trousers, you name it, it was spotted. There is something so polished and chic about a well-fitting blazer. So when you take those design elements and craft them into a dress, the outcome is genius. This steamy little number is under $100 and looks like it was taken out of one of the Kardashians’ closets! If you dare, wear it bare. For added coverage consider topping it over biker shorts and a matching top. Now have I changed your mind about the clear heel trend?!

While admiring the works of art from way back when, I could not help but wonder why certain features and silhouettes “made it” into 21st century fashions and some did not. I guess it can be attributed to the notion that fashion is cyclical, but it really is fascinating to analyze pieces hanging in your closet today, and relate them back to the ones on display at the Legion of Honor. Seriously wishing I could own at least half of the ensembles in the exhibit, if you’re wondering where I’m getting my outfit inspiration from lately, i’ll give you a hint: High Style!
