An everyday shoe for the shrinking violet. Okay, clearly I kid. You almost can’t even wear bottoms with this shoe – would you really want to detract from the fabulous plumage? An explosion of shirred organza decorates half way up your calf. You’d better have a long set of legs for this one, not to mention confidence. Without the right attitude, there’s the possibility of looking like you were attacked by a couple of black crows. I would worry about the feather-effect organza shredding off over time, but this is an occasion shoe if I’ve ever seen one. Looking closely, there is delicate sandal detail and the wedge has a cool cut-out and flawless seams along the sides. But, seriously, who is noticing the nuances here? On Net-a-Porter for $2,240.
Pair with: Nothing says “look at me” like a pair of leather shorts (except this shoe). Alexander Wang’s are high-waisted and cut diagonally to lengthen the leg. I’ll take all the help I can get! On Net-a-Porter for $550.
