Ankle Strap Shoes!!!

Ankle Strap Shoes...another hot trend for spring!

Every magazine and every store and every website is showing ankle strap shoes for spring.  It doesn't matter what your style is...edgy, feminine, sexy, classic, simple, or girlie...there is an ankle strap shoe for you.

What I like about the ankle strap shoes for this spring is that fact that they come in different widths...super thin to super thick.  So depending on your body type, you can find one that will fit perfectly.  For example, I am vertically challenged so I have to be careful with ankle straps.  A thick bold color strap will cut the length of my leg and make me look even shorter.  If you have thicker ankles/calves, be careful the ankle strap is not too tight on you and cut off your circulation.

I recently purchased a wedge ankle strap sandal in a natural color.  That natural/nude color blends in with my skin tone to elongate my leg to make me look longer and taller.  I love that and need it!!!  When I tried on a white pair and a yellow pair, they really contrasted with my skin tone and "cut" my legs off.  Not exactly what I wanted.  I may be short, but my legs are even shorter!!!

Now....what to wear with these ankle strap shoes?  Skirts (pencil or full)...shorts...cropped pants (not capri's)...dresses.

Here are a few examples of some great ankle strap shoes:

*Tory Burch "Amina" linen and leather platform sandal
*Nine West "Lookglobal" faux leather heels with thick ankle strap
*Givenchy natural pencil heel
*LAMB natural suede pencil heel peep toe think ankle strap

On a side note....make sure you try them on and check them out in a full length mirror to see how they look on your legs.  You need to get the full effect.

Enjoy your day!
