Every once in awhile you just have to let your shoes do the talking. I’ve always been a huge fan of Christian Louboutin, because who can resist the appeal of that signature red sole, right? While Louboutins have always been synonymous with sleek, classic style, what I fell in love with when it came to these heels is how playful they are. The lipstick tube heel gives it a light-hearted touch while the gold lips are a fun feature. The patent leather finish adds to the party feel of this particular style, while the gold on black colour combination makes it quite versatile which is why it has become a favourite for events. There’s just something about being able to wear a shoe with unexpected details that makes them the perfect statement-making finish to an ensemble.
So, what to wear with the party shoe of party shoes? Well how about embracing a little celestial action. This Love Shack Fancy maxi dress echoes the gold and black of the shoes but the star pattern definitely elevates it and gives it an extra layer of personality. Also, I love the polished feel that the long sleeves and maxi length provides. That said, those features could swamp a small frame like mine which is why I like the cut-outs which add an on trend element, but also helps to break up what could have been a slightly too heavy silhouette for me.
With the combination of the starry dress and lip queen heels, this is certainly one look that fully embraces the fun and frivolity that can go hand in hand with fashion.
