15 Statement Shoes to Step It Up In | Statement Shoes You’ll Love

I snagged these blue and orange low block heels at Gordmans back in May; they also came in a black and white. While the more neutral pair was tempting, I loved the bolder colors in this pair. The have elastic on the inside curve of the foot to keep them from being too tight.  Personally, I love a flat or low heel so these shoes are right up my alley and I know they’ll be perfect to tailgate in!

15 Statement Shoes to Step It Up In | How I Discovered a Closet Hole

I snagged this camisole blouse from Red Dress Boutique back in the spring and pretty quickly realized that I needed more tops like this for summer.  The bright orange has proven to be more versatile than I realized & I started hunting for more camisole tops that were in a blouse material versus the cotton for layering.  You can tuck this in or leave it untucked depending on if you’re looking for a polished or more casual look.

15 Statement Shoes to Step It Up In | How I Wore It

To fully embrace the orange, I pulled out a shorter statement necklace I have that features blue and orange.  This also lets me tie in my embroidered slide sandals and the length of the necklace works so well with the neckline.  I found myself reaching for my leopard calf hair clutch the night I wore this; I carry this bag ALL the time.  While the one I own is a dupe, I could totally justify purchasing the designer version with how often I use this handbag.

Statement shoes are an item that works for everyone: the print savvy, the basic ‘everything matches’ wardrober, and the in betweeners.  If you’re up for a challenge, wear your colorful or embellished shoes with a print and if you’re looking to elevate an outfit composed of basics {like this one!}, just add a fun pair of shoes.
