This is an easy reference site to help find fashionable shoes that are still professional, comfortable and practical.

One of my favorite classic styles is a great leopard print shoe. And probably what’s coming into your mind is that woman that takes the look too far – at least for the office – going head to toe with the print. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a gorgeous crimson red coat with a camel pant and leopard print heel.

Some of you have asked what the
different parts of shoe, specifically heels, are called. I thought I’d take the opportunity to give
you a little lesson in Shoe Anatomy.
There are a few parts that do have
multiple names, such as the Top Piece, aka Heel Tip, aka Heel Cap, aka the
heel, as I refer to it. Also, the inward facing part of the heel is called the

Many years ago when I started my quest to find office appropriate heels that were comfortable and eco-friendly, the struggle was reeeeeal. I’m not gonna lie, pickings were slim. We did have some great brands that were forward thinkers and sustainably minded. But I’m over the moon in how the selection and most importantly, the comfort of these earth-friendly options have The Working Girl's Shoe Closethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08715875925640220734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671153440101303073.post-69302442775739813932020-02-04T00:30:00.000-08:002020-02-04T00:30:15.651-08:00Heels for Flat Feet
I know it's been a minute but we're still all working girls first. 😇
One of my good friends has
struggled with her love affair with high heels.
Unfortunately, her flat feet syndrome keeps her from being able to
really enjoy the happiness wearing high heels brings us. She’s asked me to help her find heels for
flat feet. PROJECT! 😁

jellies have really come a long way.

No

your rain boots this season. Some of us
have had to live in them with the seemingly endless storms. Living in Southern California, we haven’t had
much opportunity to pull our rain gear out these past few years. And, thankfully we have been able to make up

One of the greatest
things that shoes do that they can change the whole vibe of an outfit. To me, it’s one the easiest ways to
evoke a different tone to your look with rather minimal effort. By pairing a different pair of kicks to
one of your routine work outfits, really punches up your cubicle city. Case in point, the ‘Jammy’ from TopShop.

In my effort to

boots. It gets overwhelming to
find boots, especially online where you can’t feel the quality of leather and
if the measurements are accurate.
That boot shaft is so tricky!
