Well Heeled

At IFBcon there was a lovely assortment of all kinds of shoes one could dream of. Prints, patterns, textures, heels of every height, gentleman's slippers, flats, oxfords, sneakers, boots... etc. There was definitely a shoe for everyone. Since I'm all for making sure everyone feels included, I had to take the opportunity to give all of you a little sampling of what was on offer at the event.

While we are on the topic of prints and patterns I thought now would be an appropriate time for a word of minimalist style advice. Do not mix too many patterns unless you are a pro (or British, who for some reason are the mix masters of fashion AND music). Also, you do not have to wear every trend at once, it looks a little ridiculous. And speaking of trends, they go beyond patterns, colors and fabrics, pay attention to silhouettes as well. A classic silhouette or minimal look is always a safe bet, even in the least popular shades (let Tony Wang be an example of this sort of chic simplicity).
