Although the world of fashion was once dictated by glamorous magazine editors, women all around the world are shaking things up. You’ll find hundreds of blogs and video tutorials online that were created by everyday women that show you how to rock the hottest trends and styles. Well, we’ve created our own shoe rules of the game for the fall season, so check it out and tell us what you think!
It’s All About the Colors
The perfect outfit weighs heavily on the colors you wear. Although it can be safe to stick to one color palette, that can get boring very quickly. You can also try throwing together a bunch of different colors in one outfit, but that will most likely result in a fashion meltdown. Try using multi-colored shoes as a framework for your outfit. You can use shoes like the Beasst by Steve Madden to build your outfit from the bottom up. You can pair a neutral bottom and a dark belt with a bright colored blouse or a multi-colored feather accessory to tie together all the different colors. It’ll be simple and fun to pull together an outfit when you have a great pair of shoes to guide you.
Play the Wild Card
You want to stand out from every other woman who’s out for a night on the town, and a simple way to do this is with your shoes. Because so many women play it safe and opt for the classic black pump, this gives you the perfect opportunity to stand out with fantastic footwear like the 4-inch Haute pumps from Ed Hardy. You’ll be sure to wow the crowd with the charming floral inspired design. It’s feminine, flirty, and fantastic!
Insider Style Tip
If you still find it difficult to put together an outfit that supports your own personal style, take note of the colors that dominate your closet, then simply look for a multi-colored shoe that complements those colors. The best thing about multi-colored shoes is that they will work with the clothes you already have, which will prevent you from having to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe (unless, of course, that’s what you want to do anyway.) And while you’re on your shoe hunt you just might find the perfect pair of shoes that matches that adorable dress that’s been sitting in your closet for the last few months. Get ready to throw it on and wear it proudly with the perfect pair of shoes.

Summer is in full swing and you may want to embrace the season by wearing shoes with festive floral designs or added floral details. From platform shoes to the cutest flats, floral shoes are an adorable way to express your flirty side without going overboard.
For a Wedding
For a wedding, go with a stiletto heel with flowers down the front of the shoe. Or you could even try the floral-printed strappy Knautical sandal from Fioni (It’s a steal at just $8!). Go with a simple dress (any bold patterns or designs will be too overpowering) with an above-the-knee hemline and be prepared to give the bride a run for her money!
For a Date
Flowers on a pair of pumps can work for date night. (We love the Wango style from Promise). Juxtapose the shoes with a sleek blouse and dark denim on bottom. You can also wear a button-up shirt with a pair of skinny slacks or a full skirt with a nipped waist.
For the Office
While flowers on your shoes may fly in some offices, in others they may seem a bit childlike. Therefore, you should choose your shoes wisely. The Sortino from Everybody Shoes is an office-friendly low-heeled pump with a festive, yet conservative floral detail at the toe. Offset these pumps with a smart top and wide-leg trousers to avoid going too girlie in the work place.
For the Weekend
Flats or wedges with a fun flower are quirky and cute for your days off. The Berlynn S from Naturalizer, for example, features a floral detail at the toe that will make your weekends just a bit more carefree. Mix these chocolate-brown hued wedges with a T-shirt and a full skirt, or you can work that same shirt with a tailored jacket and skinny pants for a casual chic look that works for brunch or meeting the parents.
