7 Shoes Every Woman Needs In Her Closet

What woman doesn’t love a beautiful pair of shoes?  Shoes can add interest to what would normally be a basic outfit.  For example, a pair of sleek black heels make a black skirt and white top look chic and elegant.  A comfy pair of Veja Campo Sneakers make denim shorts and a white tee look like the perfect weekend outfit.  Yes, we have to have shoes, but what kind of shoes you have really shows your personality and helps make a statement with your outfits.

7 Shoes Every Woman Needs In Her Closet

 

I’ve rounded up 7 pairs of shoes every woman must own.  Of course there are shoes of all kinds out there, but these shoes are considered wardrobe staples, shoes that you will reach for time and time again.  Plus, they are investment pieces that will last season after season.  You probably won’t grow tired of these shoes because they aren’t trendy and will go with a lot of your outfits.

These shoes are ones I pick for my seasonal capsule wardrobe e-books.  Visit the online capsule wardrobe e-book store to find out how you can create your own capsule wardrobe to look great, plus save money too by buying less!  The capsule wardrobe e-books are like your own personal stylist all in the convenience of an e-book!

Black pumps are the most basic dressy and chic shoe.  When you think of black pumps do you think of Chanel, the designer?  Black pumps like these start at under $100, but you can also pay hundreds for a pair of designer black pumps, like these from Christian Louboutin!  A mid-heel or kitten heel are easy to walk in and better if you are on your feet a lot and are just as elegant as high heels.
