the study of aqua patent leather stilettos
19 Oct
Colin Stuart for Victoria’s Secret, pointy-toe stiletto with 4-inch heel in aqua patent-leather. I found these on a fantastic clearance sale for less than $20 dollars and bought them without a clue as to how to wear or style them (I don’t usually say things like “How do I style these shoes?” but I just watched three back-to-back episodes of Project Runway and my vocabulary is all skewed in favor of Nina Garcia). Today’s ensemble was a gray skirt, black-and-white striped T, light blue cardigan and hot pink patent-leather belt. Perhaps a little Barbie-ish, but I loved it.
These particular shoes are no longer available, but these aqua stilettos are just as fabulous. Shiny aqua vintage Ford pick-up sold separately. (Editor’s Note: There is absolutely no photo editing on the above photo, I am still delightfully shocked at how similar the color of the truck is to the color of my heels. Love!)
You can’t go wrong with Barbie (except maybe if it is too short). You wouldn’t think there could be so many different ways shoes can be cute, but you would be wrong. Love those. Patent leather is the best.

Heidi! Now that we’re friends on Facebook, I found your blog. This is so fun! I’m not that big a connoisseur of shoes, but I’m looking forward to some great tips! You are awesome!
