So Many Red Shoes…So Little Closet Space

I have a pair of deep ruby red patent shoes that I love wearing when it’s time to cover up the toes. Because they’re a dark shade, I treat them like I would a brown or black pair of shoes, wearing them with almost everything.

If you’re looking for some red hot ideas, you’ll find everything from casual to dressy and petites to plus sizes.

But first, above are a few shoes that didn’t make it into outfits below. From left to right:

Pilar Abril Verbena T-Strap Sandal from Endless.com – these bi-colored sandals would be so cute with a pair of denim capris.
Joy Chen Maddie Pump from Endless.com – a darling sturdy number that’s begging for a pencil skirt.
Luichiny Leann Pump from Endless.com – if you want people to see you coming, pick these shiny, pretty shoes.
1983 by Lucchese N4525 5/4 Western Boot from Endless.com – you could just let the toe stick out from under a pair of jeans or tuck the legs in to show off the leather. It’s a win-win either way.
Miss Sixty Roxanne Bootie from Endless.com – a great boot for every day with navy, grey, black or brown pants.

Thanks to the gals who participate in #stylechat for bringing this blog idea to the surface.

Red & Relaxed If you’re looking to add some serious heat to your casual outfits, a distinctive red shoe or boot will give you amazing results.

Red & Ravishing Red footwear works for everything – especially a dressed up look – as long as you keep it balanced with your outfit. Try different shades, details and embellishments instead of a lipstick red pump to personalize your style statement.
