Fashion Cents: Tips for Strutting into Spring

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

--By Kimberly Turner

Spring has finally sprung and I am both excited and fearful of what the warm weather will bring (out). I am excited for the spring trends to come off the runway and into my real way. I just do NOT want someone who can NOT walk in their new spring shoes to run smack-dab into me. So to protect myself (and you too), I have come up with three tips for shopping the new spring shoe trends. Now the tips aren’t all about the shoes:

1. Taking care of the feet – NOBODY, not just me, wants to look at ugly feet with peeling nail polish in beautiful sandals. I’m using Chanel’s Particulière this spring thanks to Stephanie…you’ll see.

2. Shopping for the right shoes – just because they are in trend doesn’t mean someone should buy them. They should make sure they fit their style and wardrobe. A cuff sandal on someone who only wears slacks is a waste of a shoe.

3. Walking the right way – If they could only practice walking in their new shoes, and for that matter their old shoes too. It is so NOT sexy to see a woman stumble down the street.
Now watch the video and start your spring off strutting in the right direction. It will make sense!
