This fancy grape number takes the softness and femininity of suede but twists it into a bright tropical summer sandal that is all kinds of fun for the season. The sling back beauty would be a fantastic choice for a night on the town, or for that cruise you’re taking soon to work on your tan and dance with some strangers and do the limbo while sipping a delicious local concoction out of a coconut.
These may be a little much for some, but the rich purple paired with colors that are a bit more subtle would make these really pop, and as long as you don’t stick a banana in your hair (tempting, I know), these could be pulled off without looking like one of Charlie Sheen’s Goddesses.
