holiday party in the nude

even at your office party you can do it! ok - let's clarify shall we? i'm talking about the nude SHOE you dirty little birds.

the nude heel is one of the best tricks in the book. in case you don't have the book - allow me to "flesh it out" for you. (heehee). the gamut of brightly colored, sequined, or otherwise party-rific dresses that are no doubt on your mind at the moment can cause a bit of confusion when it comes to footwear. the best way to go when you're dazzling them up top is to stay basic down below. and basic does NOT have to mean boring. the nude heel is remarkably sexy. it makes your legs look like they go on for miles. obviously the trick is to find a shoe in your general skin tone (and obvs, if you're anywhere but warm, you'll be wearing a nice sheer pair of tights that make your legs look au naturel but better)

i have nude sandals for summer, but recently embraced this idea for winter. going to a birthday dinner for a friend of the family, i broke out the new nudes. i felt long, lean, sexy. and was also complimented on the shoe sitcho by one of the ladies attending, whom i consider to be quite in the loop when it comes to these things.

as with everything in the world of style, you can find a nudie to fit your budget. i love the shape of the Aldo shoe, i'm newly obsessed with Pour la Victoire shoes, and it goes without saying that the Louboutin is the dream shoe... regardless of the dollars spent - you can feel like a million. it's a little trick i highly recommend to balance out the festive frocks you'll be fa-la-la-ing around town in this holiday season!
