Types Of Shoes For Different Style Dresses

Sandals are high heeled, strappy shoes that have no fully closed area. Open toe shoes have all closed areas except for a small opening at the very front of the shoes (like a pump with an open front) or a sling back with an open toe.Open toes shoes are more popular this year, and you can find them in abundance, but every designer is also making the more classic dressy, black-tie pumps as well. You can wear open-toed shoes with hose so long as the hose have a sheer toe. It is sandals that you should not wear with hose but the open toed shoes can certainly be worn with sandal foot hose! Sandals are high heeled, strappy shoes that have no fully closed area. Open toe shoes have all closed areas except for a small opening at the very front of the shoes (like a pump with an open front) or a sling back with an open toe.Silver purse and shoes are the best unless the jewelry includes yellow gold.Wear sandals and not shoes with any a dress that has short sleeves and is an empire waist.You can wear a variety of different shoe colors with a plum or maroon dress. First suggestion would be to wear sandals - something with a high heel and definitely strappy. You can always wear black sandals! Metallic, bronze, silver or gold are also a good choice. Make sure to coordinate your jewelry. Silver sandals would be terrific if you wear white gold or sterling jewelry. Also, match your handbag to the shoes.You should wear matching burgundy satin pumps with burgundy colored dress. You can go to a formal shoe store, buy them white, and have them died perfectly to your dress. As for outerwear, I suggest a satin cape or shawl. It should be burgundy or black to balance your outfit. You can line the cape or shawl with a wool shawl for additional warmth.As wild as orange sandals sound, picture them with a beige dress, a white dress, a camel dress, black, tan, brown, cream. Even navy!! Think of a print that incorporates some orange or just all different shades of neutrals.Wear black satin high heeled sandals and carry a black satin purse...either clutch or small handled or shoulder strapped (strap must be satin too)purse with black tie style dress. Ideally, you’d be wearing diamonds with this too!No! No! No! Socks and heels do not go together. You could try sheer knee highs or even tights if you are cold, but with jeans and heels. If you wear boots you could wear socks, that is ok to do.Denim skirts in the winter can be worn with boots, either Ugg-style boots for a very casual, comfy look or high leather boots with a chunky stacked heel that is so popular this year. If you don’t like the boot idea then you can wear either flats (ballet style is very cute) or casual heels, something on the chunkier side since sleek pumps would look like a mismatch with a denim skirt....

What to Wear with Ballerina Flats!!

It used to be that ballerina flats were what they sounded like - flat shoes that looked like ballet slippers. And in the strictest sense of the term, that definition is still correct. But now you can find everything from sneakers to evening shoes that are inspired by ballet slippers, and hence could be called ballerina flats. Being heelless, ballerina flats have a tendency to make ones legs appear shorter, so petite women may want to steer clear, or pair them with a shorter skirt, extending the amount of leg that is shown. Because of this same quality, skimmers are especially great on women of medium height or taller. Ballerina flats with satin or embellished uppers can seem especially dressy and elegant, while leather skimmers are a bit more casual and are great for pairing with jeans and shorts.
f you're looking for a fun, sporty look, a casual canvas skimmer is adorable with capris, shorts and short denim skirts.


What to Wear with Ballerina Flats
Capri Pants...

Leggings
Shorts
Skirts with hemline at or above the knee.
Apparel to Avoid
Pants that are too long.
Pleated pants with narrow legs. This will make your mid section appear bigger, while making your legs seem shorter.

Wearing ballet flats with longer skirts and dresses can create a romanticly feminine silhouette, but will make short women appear shorter.

Wedges - What to Wear with Wedge Heeled Shoes

Ranging from casual to elegant, wedges come in all styles and heights.

While wedge heels are an extremely fashionable and versatile choice in women's footwear, they won't look great on everyone, or with every outfit -- and like any shoe style, they have their pros and cons.

What Exactly is a Wedge Heel?


On most shoes, the "heel" sits under only the heel of the foot, but a wedge heel runs under the foot, from the back of the shoe to the middle or front.

As you've probably guessed, it has a wedge shape, but not all wedges are high heels. In fact, wedge heels range from low to high, it's the shape and the length of the heel that classify it as a wedge.
Advantages of Wedge Heels:
  • These shoes add height, but are easier to walk in than stilettos.

  • Wedges have a very cosmopolitan look to them - they're worldly and sophisticated.

  • A wedge heel looks great with nearly any length skirt or dress.

  • Wedge heels, by nature, are a fashionable choice - by just choosing to wear them, you up your fashion quotient.

  • Wedges will add definition and shape to heavy ankles, making them appear thinner.

Cons of Wedges:
  • Wedge heels are still heels, with all their pitfalls. Don't be fooled into thinking you can run a marathon in them.

  • Wedges can look a little clunky, especially when paired with very tight-fitting clothing.

  • This style tends to seem a bit on the casual side. While there are dressier styles of wedges, finding a truly elegant one can be a bit difficult.

  • A thick wedge heel will make really skinny ankles appear even thinner.
Hot with:
  • Flowing skirts
  • Bohemian styles
  • Thin, gauzy fabrics
  • Wrap dresses
  • Wide or flared jeans or pants
  • Gauchos
Not with:
  • Pencil skirts
  • Capris
  • Pants with narrow or straight legs

Treating Rough, Dry and Cracked Heels

Several factors can contribute to dry heels including climate, excess weight and going barefoot, but however you got them, nothing can ruin a pair of sexy sandals more than rough, cracked heels। Fortunately, they're not too difficult to deal with - here is the method I used for clearing up my own dry heels


  • First think to do is drink lots of water to keep the skin hydrate. It will keep your skin soft and supple and skin will not get as dry to get cuts and cracks.

  • Always wash your feet properly whenever you come from outside. Sleep after washing your feet.

  • Soak your feet in lukewarm water with a little soap in it. It will loosen the tight dead skin from your soles and heels.

  • Use foot scrubber to scrub the dead skin and brush away the dead skin with a small brush meant for feet.

  • Rubbing pumic stone too is helpful in clearing the dead dull skin.

  • Wipe your feet and massage foot cream on them. You can even apply petroleum jelly or your daily body lotion on your feet.

  • Always keep the nails cut and well shaped.

  • If you are already getting cracked heels on your feet then regularly scrub away the dead skin and apply foot cream, which is made for cracked heels. Such creams are easily available at any chemist store.

  • Best way to soften the hard skin on heels and reduce the cracks is soaking feet in Luke warm water for 5-10 minutes then scrubbing the dead skin and then applying the foot cream on the heels before going to bead. Then wear cotton soaks on your feet throughout the night that way skin will absorb the moister and the cracks of the heels will heal faster.

  • If your cracked heels are really bad and giving you pain then try this remedy to heal them. Melt paraffin wax and mix it with a little coconut oil. Fill this mixture into your cracked heels while going to bed. Wash it off in the morning. Filling this wax in your cracks for at least 10 days will fill the gap a lot and pain will be very less.

  • To avoid foot pain wear shoes, which are right, size for your feet. Tight or loose shoes create problems for the feet. You should go to buy new shoes in the evening because that is the time when there is water retention in the body and you will come to know the exact size of your feet.

  • You can spray foot spray or powder in your shoes while putting your feet in.

  • Never wear shoes in wet legs and never wear wet socks.

  • Do not cut or itch if you get athlete's foot or some other skin problem in your feet or between your toes. Seek medical help and keep hygiene.

  • Rubbing onion oil on the skin rashes and itches is quite helpful.

  • To avoid the cracks of your heels keep scrubbing the dead hard skin regularly and keep applying moisturizers or petroleum jelly to your feet, which will prevent your heels from getting cracks.

  • If there is pain in your feet then soak them in hot water with salt added to it and alter the feet in cold water. Doing this therapy for half and hour improves the blood circulation and relieves the pain.

  • Massage the feet and put pressure on the points.

  • Walk on the grass barefoot early morning. It rejuvenates the feet and improves the eyesight.

  • Do not wear uncomfortable shoes just to show. Wear the shoes you are comfortable in. avoid wearing tight shoes and high heels if there is pain in your feet.

Cracks in the heels occur due to the dryness of the skin. Our palms and feet are the area where skin produces no oil so they are usually dry. We need to feed them moister by applying sufficient moister on them. While the skin of the palms is soft, the skin of the feet is hard so it requires more care. If regular cleaning of the skin has been done by removing the dead skin, there are very few chances to get cracked heels. Still if you get cracked heels even after scrubbing the dead skin and applying moisturizers, then do not ignore the first sign of cracks that are fine lines on the heels.

As soon as you see them start applying crack creams on your heels and drink lots of water. If there is dryness in your body, it will show off on your skin. Drinking water is the best way to keep the skin moist.
