In my opinion, the worst thing that someone can do is wear a spectacular outfit and then ruin it with a horrible pair of shoes! Shoes make an outfit, trust me, it doesn't matter if you have an expensive designer outfit, suit, or dress, if you have poorly matched or old, ratty, unflattering shoes on, your outfit was worn in vain.
So ladies and MEN, yes men to, it is important to invest in a few timeless pairs of shoes. Don't get me wrong, I'd advocate buying all types of shoes but I feel like the basics is a good starting point.
Girls the colorful, sparkly or platform shoes are cute but DO NOT replace the classic shoe with them. A beautiful classic shoe DOES NOT make you look old or out of fashion. On the contrary, it will show sophistication and endless class. Trust me class is more valuable than momentary sexiness.
Men as well, you need at least one fabulous pair of dress shoes, you never know when someone important glances down and notices your shoes.
Your outfit and shoes are your first impression before you open your mouth. So if you tend to have diarrhea of the mouth, maybe you need to make sure that your outfit makes up for what your mouth will screw up for you, joking....but not really.
Looks are not everything, but caring about your appearance doesn't make you vain, it means you appreciate and respect yourself!
Now I know that shoes, classic shoes, can cost a fortune and I am currently saving for the loves of my life the Christian Louboutin Black Pumps. However, I do know how to be reasonable since I will have to save a years worth to buy those Christian Louboutins, so until I can afford those, these are perfect alternatives for women and for men.

A little twist to the classic pump, but still oh so sophisticated!
Stuart Weitzman has such classy and clean cut pumps, I have these in brown and absolutely need these in nude and black. I have back problems and "try" to find heels that are classy and comfortable, and these feel like you are walking on a cloud.
NOW FOR MEN: Be forewarned that I have an obsession with men shoes as well, especially Hugo Boss, they have the perfect dress shoe and his suits are amazing, but that's for another post.

My advice for men's dress shoes, if you are on a budget, instead of going to Nordstrom, try Nordstrom Rack. They have the same shoes for a much more affordable price. The rack also makes sure to carry an abundance of Hugo Boss shoes for men, in case you were wondering what to get that special father in your life!
I have been referred to as the "google of men fashion", any guy that needs advice on what to wear and how to dress their body type just tells me and within moments I have a long list of outfits that are perfect and within whatever price range they give me. I may love shopping for men more than women, so expect a few men fashion posts soon to come!
