Bootin’ The Winter Blues

In my effort to prep for Winter fashions at the start of last Fall, I needed to find some great 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!  And more than anything, it’s easy to feel frumpy when you’re layering for what feels like an eternity.  BUT, I was crazy lucky to take a chance on my whim to get the Harper boots from J. Crew.

Holiday Helpers

Somewhere around mid October, life becomes a crazy mishmash of work and holiday deadlines.  Keeping up with Halloween, Day of the Dead, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Years makes even the most prepared and most organized Working Girl dizzy.  That’s why you need to have your arsenal of effortless outfits and shoes within arm’s reach so you don’t have to worry about that aspect of your world. 

Merry Christmas!

Charlotte Olympia's Kiss Me Dolly Pumps *swoon*

Because we all make our own definition of who and what is family, The Working Girl’s Shoe Closet wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a very fashionable 2014 from the bottom of our shoe closet!

Wonder-Fall

I feel like I blinked and Summer disappeared into Fall.  It doesn’t help that Fashion Weeks and fashion conferences, like Lucky FABB and IFC, happen within what feels like minutes from one another.  #TimeFlies. The crisp Fall air inherently takes me back to the feeling of a new school year starting.  Granted my school days are long gone, I still can't help but feel like Kate Spade channeled my inner schoolgirl with these utterly adorable Mixer Heels.

Seeing Spots

-->

This summer’s heat has everyone so dizzy, we’re seeing spots.  But when I came across these adorable spots in the latest collection of Tom’s Shoes, I was happy to see them!  The red Polka Dot Linen Strappy Wedges had me at ‘Hello’. 

There’s something inherently flirty about red polka dots making them so incredibly perfect for the summer - brings out the Marilyn in all of us. ;)  It’s one of my favorite ways to look cute with absolutely minimal effort.  And the pluses that these wedges offer are just endless.  Starting with the wedge aspect, you get the best of both worlds – heels + flats.  You have the flat sole that gives you stability and then you have the 3 5/8" heel that gives you the height elongating your figure. 

Tip-Toe’ing Through The Tulips

We are at then end of Spring and feeling the warm Summer rays peeking though the morning haze.  And nothing excites me more, besides shoes of course, than SUMMER!  But, while I’m more than ready for the Summer fun in the sun, I still have to work the office wear.    Casual Fridays become trickier as I get older.  I almost feel like I’m in a second “tween” phase because I’m too old for those post college short shorts, and too young for Talbots. :)  So when I came across the latest J.Crew Classic Ballet Flats in bright and bold patent leather colors, I did my happy dance.
