There comes a time in every woman’s life when she must edit and restore her shoe closet. As she surveys her closet she will most likely find it difficult to get rid of some pairs. Especially pairs that are so gorgeous but are painful to wear.
It has yet to be understood why women need so much footwear in their lives. Whether flat and comfy, or high and painful, there seems to be a perfect set of shoes for each occasion. Then the time comes to separate a pair from the pack of overstuffed bins. But she realizes she can’t let them go because there are so many memories behind this pair.
It’s true that separation anxiety can occur between a woman and her shoes. But there is no need for tears. There will always be a pair of shoes that you will have to say R.I.P. to, but there are so many other shoes just waiting in the fashion atmosphere. The issue now relies in how many of those shoes do you really need in your wardrobe.
It is time to get back to the basics of footwear. The fashion atmosphere is crowded with so many must have pairs that it can be hard to edit and restore one’s wardrobe. So to get started on the basics of footwear, you must discover what your lifestyle is. Are you a office person by day and party girl by night? Then choose footwear that would represent this transition. By first discovering what type of lifestyle your shoe wardrobe should represent, you will be able to build a foundation of footwear that makes sense.
However, despite changes in lifestyles, careers, and interests, there is some footwear that should be required in every woman’s closet. For a guide to buying basic footwear, check out the list below.
1. Flats– Because a woman cannot survive on heels alone. There has to be a comfy set of footwear in your wardrobe to get you quickly from point A to point B. It’s expected that you will wear this type of footwear out quickly. So be prepared to buy multiple pairs. Start with this pair from ASOS, available for $34.11.
2. Pumps– This will be your go to footwear for interviews, big business meetings, and regular office days. So make sure the pair you snag is durable and can handle some stressful pressure. Start with this pair from Nordstrom, available for $65.96.
3. Sneakers– Because sometimes flats just aren’t so comfy anymore. For days when your feet desire more cushion and comfort slip on a pair of sneakers and you will feel that you can take charge of the day. Try this pair from Macy’s, available for $69.00.
4. Rain Boots– If you want bulletproof footwear that can guard your feet from the snow and rain, then this is the number one source. The plastic rubber boots can be purchased in various shades, heights, and prints. Start with this pair by Michael Kors, available at Lord & Taylors for $165.00.
5. Black Boots in three lengths– You should own an ankle pair, a knee high pair, and an over the knee pair. This set of boots will keep you stylish throughout the colder months. Try this ankle pair by Ivanka Trump, available at 6pm.com for $79.99.
