Walking into Wednesday & How to Style Blue Shoes

There’s nothing like a pretty dress, flowers and bright blue heels to distract you from the fact that you just checked back into reality after vacation! Oh my goodness, our trip to Palo Duro Canyon & Amarillo was beyond fabulous! I had such fun getting away with just Patrick & Annie. Definitely good for the soul. Now that I’m back to my “routine” (I’m still not quite convinced I actually have one yet) I’m blogging away once more.

I’m sharing my thoughts today on why everyone should have a stand out colored pair of heels in their closet & how to style them. Plus more of this look with this pretty Paper Crown dress that you’re gonna want to see! Head on down to the bottom of the post for more.

For years now, Paper Crown has been one of my go-tos when it comes to gorgeous standout great-quality sundresses. I mean, we all know Lauren Conrad can do no wrong and her contemporary clothing line proves just that! Paper Crown is a mixture of classic silhouettes with a modern refresh. From stripes to florals, this spring’s collection is oh-so-stunning. Check it out: here.

My striped fit & flare dress is perfect for either a wedding, baby shower, or even Mother’s Day brunch. (Also let’s pause here for a second, I can not believe I’ll actually be celebrating Mother’s Day this year as a mom! Crazy & exciting!) Anyway, back to the dress. While it has a bold print, the colors are still subdued enough that I felt it was appropriate to pair with a statement blue heel. Gotta mix things up a bit every once in a while, right?

A few of my favorite tips on styling bright & colorful shoes are:

1. Wear bright & bold colors with a neutral look.
2. Incorporate the color of your top or a secondary shade of your dress into the color of your shoes. Love how the blue stripe in my dress matches my heels perfectly!
3. Match your colorful shoes to your handbag or jewelry.

As always, thanks for stopping by the blog!
