In honor of breast cancer awareness month, we are profiling the most perfect office shoes in shades of pink. We admit, you’re probably not going to get away with this party-perfect hue in a conservative office, but for those of you with a liberal dress policy – or those who like to tuck a pair of happy hour shoes under their desk! – we say bring on the pink!
For just a subtle hint of this ultra-girly hue, we love the Lorna by Hive and Honey, which features a softer-than-soft, near nude leather upper and an almond shaped toe. A 4 inch stiletto heel and matching platform midsole in an earthy chocolate hue help ground this look. Read more »

Simple and sweet is the name of the game with the so-cute, and so obviously named, ballet flats by Old Navy. These shoes feature a soft, silky upper – which is actually available in a number of hues if you aren’t thinking pink – a matching fabric trim and a dainty bow at the rounded toe. A rubber sole ensures that these shoes will also prove a sweet treat for your feet! Read more »

In honor of national breast cancer awareness month, for the entire month of October, I’ll be profiling some of the best pink shoes available on MyShoes.com.
So, let’s get this pink party started, literally, by singling out the best pink party shoes for the fiscally responsible fashionista!
Give your feet a sweet treat in the ultra girly Galvey by Nina. This shoe is fashioned out of a soft, ballet slipper-hued satin and also features a single strap at the open toe. All the action, however, is in the rear, with a host of cascading ruffles at the heel and a slender ankle strap for a custom and comfortable fit. The best part? These fab-o shoes clock in at under $30. Read more »

Some shoes simply don’t work well when it comes to matching. Too awkward, too simple, too ugly, too boring? They might be your favorite in the closet, but they are extremely difficult to fashionably pair with your favorite things. Take a look at our top picks.
Wooden Heel Shoes with Contrasting Laces: Your wooden-heeled shoes look so easy to wear, but then you realize that it’s hard to match them with anything! Wooden heels can be tied into your ensemble with “earthy” jewelry, and don’t forget that you can always change those laces for something a little more flattering.
Platforms with Straw Bows: Straw—it’s so natural and so tricky. If you are stuck on straw and you have a great pair to wear this summer, you can try pairing straw-embellished shoes with light-colored denim. For a little fun, you can pair those straw shoes with something like seersucker or gingham. Why not? It’s great in the summertime, and that means you don’t have to concentrate on matching too much at all. It’s just jeans + country top.

Ah, the color pink. Most women either love or hate this hue. Girlie girls embrace it to no end and the other half claims it’s never sophisticated enough to make the cut in their wardrobes. Pink can border obnoxious if you don’t know how to wear it, but pink shoes are far easier to implement with style. Pink ranges from light shades with nude undertones to intense versions that look rich with black.
Neon colors are back for summer 2010, so why not ditch your basic sandals for a pair in neon pink? The Ontario sandals from Dolce Vita are a great go-to pair for those who want flat sandals that are easy to wear without looking as dowdy as flip-flops. Wear them with all white or light denim for a crisp look and also incorporate the trend of neutrals like beige, champagne and gray with neon. These are smart sandals for those who wear easy pieces like T-shirt dresses and tank tops and jeans often because they add a trendy spin with minimal effort.
For trendy pumps in pink, look to the Ultamit heels from Steve Madden. These basic pumps are a great addition to your wardrobe because they’re suede and a wearable, muted shade of magenta. This adds a pop of color without making you leave your comfort zone. Wear them with any little black dress, but don’t forget they work with a print top and trouser pants. When wearing pink shoes, you want to either highlight the fact that you’re going girlie or completely juxtapose it with unexpected pieces like a relaxed blazer or wide leg jeans.

While shoes used to be purchased in black, brown and the occasional red, it seems more and more designers are giving us bright shoes. Some may shy away from bright shoes, but why? Saturated hues are a great way to punch up an outfit and add that X factor we all long for in our personal style.
At Work
Bright shoes can definitely work wonders for your office outfits. While you don’t want to go too crazy and show up in multi-color sky high platforms, adding a colored pair of pumps to your wardrobe isn’t a bad idea. Keep the rest of the look basic, especially if you work in a conservative office. Suiting, a dress topped with a cardigan or a blouse and trousers in basic colors will do the trick. If you want to add to the drama of the shoes, choose a color for your top that is in the same family as the color of the shoes for a look that’s cool, but not too matchy-matchy. Read more »
