Favorite Things: Bold Colored Pumps!

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has sent emails, text messages, tweets, and comments regarding last night’s post.  I can’t wait to share all your suggestions and ideas with my mom and dad! Keep them coming!

Now, onto a more fun and fashionable topic, color!

More than ever, I study the Fall fashion books each September trying to decide which of this year’s trends I’ll attempt and which I’ll pass altogether. I still haven’t decided how I feel about the flare pant or the collage this year. But, one trend that I love is BOLD COLORS. This trend can be intimidating at first but when incorporated into the wardrobe you already own through accessories, it becomes far more attainable and affordable. In my opinion, shoes in a fun, bold color are a perfect way to add an unexpected pop to any outfit!

A huge Piperlime fan, I scour the website on a weekly basis looking for their latest additions to the Girl On A Budget section. I fine that purchasing one to two pieces that support each trend during a season can easily convert a boring or outfit. 

Last week, I saw these Nine West shoes in the Girl On A Budget section and fell in love.

They met all my requirements for a trendy item:

  • Positive reviews from other consumers. This pair in particular was given five out of five stars.
  • Under $100
    • Available in 1/2 sizes, even through 10 1/2

Knowing that many items run out quickly on Piperlime, I purchased them quickly since I could always return them.

THEY ARE AMAZING! I’ve worn them to work twice now, once with a plain black dress and the other time with a pair skinny pants and an animal print blouse. My co-workers and friends alike have professed their love and are amazed to hear that they were $89, are very comfortable, and are Nine West!

Available in black, purple, and gold sequin I highly recommend snagging your own pair in suede today. I can’t attest to the gold pair personally, but the picture online doesn’t make it very appealing.

What is your favorite way to add a pop of color to an outfit this season?

    The shoes are lovely. Unfortunately it is still so hot here that it is hard to think about Fall just yet. Will you share the pre-diabetic suggestions on your blog as well as with your parents? I have a parent in a similar situation and would love to share the information with them. Thanks!

    I wish I had your fashion sense!!! Seriosuly, it might be worth a drive to NY to have you shop for me for some wardrobe staples!

    I LOVE Piperlime’s Girl on a Budget page! I just ordered a Nine West purse from there that I am 100% in love with. And nice choice on the shoes, they’re super cute. I’m also in love with the bold colors trend for fall. Currently looking for a cute, affordable pair of red skinny jeans…

    Those are amazing shoes! I really like Nine West as they are comfortable, afffordable and stylish! I recently got a pair of trendy lace pumps for fall from the Nine West outlet for only $30.
