Granted, instead of picturing myself partying in disco shoes, I should be detoxing (I’m blaming my trip to Napa). But with all this flash and sparkle in front of me, I can’t resist the urge to boogie. It’s all about the disco shoe now, and who’s to say I can’t have a club soda with lime while I dance the night away? I’m sure the party gods won’t complain!
After months of chunk and clunk, putting on the glitz is now what’s in order. If you’re hesitant to get decked in an all-over sequin dress, you know you can rock glittery shoes.
And if you end up at a spot where the ambiance is lacking, you’ve done your company and self a favor – instant mood-lighting!
Especially if you go for Christian Louboutin’s decadently named “No Prive Riche” slingbacks, a starry cocktail of blue crystals that’s more delicious than your drink and brighter than the night sky. If you’re feeling frisky, opt for glitter over crystals, as illustrated on Miu Miu’s coltish T-strap.
Too much bling? Fendi’s golden peep-toe pumps, an even retro mix of forties glam and seventies ostentation for a result that’s super ladylike – and more suited for what I do at clubs: lounge. And if clubs – or nightlife, for that matter – aren’t your speed, you still should have a pair of shoes that will light up your night. The Yves Saint Laurent “Tribute 105,” an eternal style in festive metallic gold is almost day-appropriate. Actually, I suggest wearing these when the sun is up: this shade of leather will look incredible on your newly minted tan.
