These CLs are the perfect basic pump for your wardrobe. Black patent is a classic, and if the 5" height scares you, the same shoe is available in lower heels. Not to mention in the CL pricing world (which is very "out of this world") they are reasonably priced at $600. For work, pair a pencil skirt in a bold color with a simple white shirt. With a white shirt, make sure that it is fitted at the waist so that it doesn't bag weirdly if you wear it with something fitted. I'd also shy away from short-sleeved shirts because they just scream "UNIFORM" to me... that might be memories left over from Catholic school though... Leaving the sleeves long keeps the look refined and rolling the sleeves up to the elbows is a shade more casual. Cover up with ribbed black tights and cinch your waist with a wide black belt. A beige croc bag is a great work bag because it's stylish and practical, plus the color goes with anything. The bangles are quirky and give you something to talk about at the water cooler. For a date later in the evening, an LBD is as essential. In fact, if you don't have one in your closet right now, you should be looking for one instead of reading this. For a little bit of movie star glam, black thigh highs and a little garter belt are very provocative. If this is too much look for you, black tights work just as well. Twist your hair into a updo to showcase dangling chandelier earrings and throw everything into a jewel-tone clutch. For the finishing touch, create the perfect pout with red Chanel lipstick. If you need the PERFECT red lipstick, you can't go wrong with Chanel. Something about Chanel reds leaves every other red in the dust.

Let's Play GUESS THE BRAND!!!!

See, I was thinking Gucci. They're cute, flat and equestrian. Or if they had some logos pasted up the sides, I'd think they're Chanel. But noooo..... these boots are made by none other than my beloved Christian Louboutin. I mean, the Christian Louboutin Cozak Flat Boots are nice boots. They aren't mind-blowingly amazing, but they aren't a big ball of fug either. I just don't know what to think. On one hand, I think they'd be cute with some skinny jeans and a blazer, but on the other hand, the entire point of a CL shoe is the impossibly high heel and the bright red sole, and this boot has neither. Plus, they're kind of cheap-looking. In my opinion, these boots just aren't worth a thousand plus dollars, and if you plan to spend that much on CLs,you could get an amazing pair of heels or some really nice boots from a different designer.

Buy from Neiman Marcus for $1,045

So You Too........?

Welcome to the Red Sole Affair, a blog devoted to a cult-like adoration of shoes, especially the Holy Grail of footwear, the Christian Louboutin heel. I (Mme. CL to you) am a teenage girl in a large town in New England (which doesn't mean much in the general scheme of things) and I have a shoe problem, although I lean towards Ferragamo pumps due to my unnaturally thin feet, lovingly dubbed "skis" by my friends and family. I am no professional, but I have been surrounded and adored nice shoes all my life, and this blog is is a reflection of my thoughts.......
