"Cali Swag" a look featuring Rag & Bone Classic Newbury Ankle Boot

Jacket: Fora

Top: Testament (alternative by Insight)

Shorts: Machine

So now you own a pair of metallic boots and are wondering how in hell you are going to wear them casually through the summer... Well thanks to the everlasting summer in California I can show you just how to do that in January! This outfit shows how these metallic booties can be worn as a neutral. I decided to go with a totally neutral look to make my point super clear. The casual gauze blouse and ripped cream denim shorts are a comfortable combo from about 70-85 degrees, and the addition of this lightweight jacket gives the look just the right amount of polish to take it to dinner or or out on a warm night!

 

ENJOY

"Celebration" a look featuring Rag & Bone Classic Newbury ankle boot

Dress: Parker Women's Striped Leather Dress

Handbag: Malene Birger (Alternative shoulder bag here)

I don't always wear extremely high heels, but when I dont ... people think something is wrong. No seriously. My friends, fans and followers expect to see me always wearing the highest of heels but I can't alwasy be towering above the ground, and not every destination, outfit or outing calls for stilettos. I do wear mid height heels as well as flats ... and here is a great example of a mid heel I LOVE.

In this look I show thta you don't always need to wear the highest heels to rock your favorite little black dress. Although we usually head straight for our highest shoes when pulling out our cutest dresses, it doesn't always need to be the case. Leather accents on feminine cuts are certainly a trend this season and the classic cut of this LBD and you can see that at work in the detailed leather and mesh stripes on this very classicly cut dress! And the two together scream Celebration! 

 These shoes create an outfit that transitions well from day to night for "fancy" events and fair especially well for long periods of time. 

You can wear these shoes literally ALL DAY they are so comfortable so no need to pack a pair of flats to go to an all day concert event, a wedding, or a long night of dinner and dancing! With these shoes its all about what you wear with them, they will be as fancy or casual as you dress them up or down to be ... so go big and don't be afraid to be sexy closer to the ground ;)

"To Dye For" featuring the Classic Newbury by Rag & Bone

Sweater: Forever 21 Alternative by Mango chunky knit sweater  

Jeans: James Jeans High Waist Tie Dye Skinny Leg Jean

Purse: Rebecca Minkoff

This is a TomCat look for sure, some awesome jeans and a comfy sweater, and proves that metallic rose gold shoes aren't always girly! I love the comfort level of this look with its sophistication, The chunky sweater and contrasting skinny jeans with these crinkle leather booties are just the touch of textures needed to make these boots a little more casual.  Metallics are always a trend during the holiday season but that doesn't mean you must put them away after the first. Keep wearing these booties to liven up any outfit and even make this casual ensemble a little less ordinary and much more extraordinary ! 

I get compliments on these from women of all ages, and being that these shoes are comfortable and come in so many color options they really are a great shoe for everyon!!

"Lady at Lunch"

Dress: Charlie Jade / Revlon

This is a versatile look for the office, business lunch, outing with the ladies and with the right makeup and accessories could take you right into the evening... and proof that "The Shoe Slut" is one classy bitch!

I purchased this dress when I was spending 3 days a week in an office casting for an adult company. I managed to amass quite the collection of light weight, patterened dresses that weren't stuffy but rather contemporary. Most of these dresses came from Charlie Jade or BCBGeneration (like the backless dress featured in "Dress Flats" ) I loved all the options that the multi colored patterns of these dresses gave me with my shoes and accessories and when I noticed the perfect match to my Lady Dafs I had to pair them. I tried to keep this look as wearable as possible for the masses, but if you want to try a bolder look add a cream or sheer peachy nude knee high sock to this look or even opaque white pantyhose. 

Keep it Classy, 

The Shoe Slut

"Denim Blouse" a colorful look featuring Christian Louboutin Lady Daffodils

Top: Zara Denim Blouse

Pants: 7 for All Mankind cropped colored denim

I never thought after my cowgirl phase as an 8 year old that I would be rocking a denim shirt again ... but I have found myself with a denim blouse from Zara that I love and wear often, with leggings, white denim, and as shown here with colored denim and these rose suede Lady Dafs ! This is a casual but tailored look, the collared shirt makes it seem a little more proper while the washed denim gives a rustic feel. These creamsicle colored jeans by 7 for All Mankind are the perfect cropped cut to accentuate the cut of these mary janes and its a nice mellow way to color block without looking like paint swatches. I like this look for running errands and working from home, and feel free to tuck in the shirt and rock a brown belt with this look for a more prim and proper effect!

"Happy Holidays" a classic holiday/winter look featuring Christian Louboutin Lady Daffodils

Happy Holidays From the Shoe Slut

Top: Heed Sequin Sweater from Nordstrom 

Jeans: H&M Alternative light denim by Mavi  

This is a great look to wear all day and even to a casual holiday party or drinks at night. The sweater has a festive feel with micro sequins but isn't overpoweringly sparkly! The cut and glitter factor of the sweater gives it a mature look, feminine feel and major comfort. I love pairing it with these light denim jeans from H&M, they are high waisted with a back zipper and knee patch details that I really love. Don't be fooled though, these aren't "jeggings" these are jeans, and take finding the right size and wearing them in properly to get a proper fit. The colors go great with the dusty rose tones of the shoes and let the shoes shine - in my opinion more than the sequins! 

I can guarantee I will be wearing this look long after the holidays!

"Tang" a look featuring L.A.M.B. Dorrie peep toe ankle booties

Dress: JACK BY BB DAKOTA Belted Babydoll Dress

Sweater: Quiksilver

This is a powerful look that packs a punch without being obnoxious. The bright color of the dress and bold pattern of the shoes make a lasting impression and will get you all the looks walking into a room. This look is a great display of how to wear a peep toe bootie / ankle boot with a dress. This is a look you may expect to see with a neutral wedge sandal Like this leather wedge sandal from L.A.M.B , or a cork or wood bottom shoe Like these Cole Haan cork bottom nude patent peep toe pumps , but here at The Shoe Slut I try to bring you new looks and something outside the box. Which in this case means a bold pattern with a bold color, but if you notice I also added the cream cardigan which neutralizes the look and tones it down a little. If you are feeling a bit feistier ... you could also pair this look with a black leather motorcycle jacket for the ultimate good girl gone bad look.

"Fatigue" a look based on L.A.M.B Dorrie peep toe ankle boot

Shorts: Boutique Find

Top: David Lerner Women's Long Sleeve Cropped Tee

Purse: Rebecca Minkoff 

The day we shot this it was a little gloomy but typical of california it wasn't really cold. I wanted to show off a comfortable outfit with these sexy high heeled ankle boots, to really play with their actual comfort for the wearer. I do not support dressing like a hobo or in sloppy large clothing - however I understand comfort and wear it well. I indulge in soft fabrics, loose fits without sacrificing a silhouette. In this look I pair the cropped David Lerner dolamn sleeve top with these cute army green / olive green shorts with their side buckle details. Wearing shorts with ankle booties like these give you the chance to show off your legs with or without pantyhose or tights. But keep in mind the toe style of the legwear with these peep toe booties! If you aren't as confident about showing off your tummy throw on a deep magenta, rose or oxblood tank under for a splash of color and a quick fix for hiding your mid section!

The outfit feels comfortable and casual, looks great and not overly done, just perfectly thrown together!
