MISS MEERS' GUIDE TO THE HOLIDAYS

Posted by Maxine and Sam

While most of us haven't finished putting away all of our Halloween decorations, signs of the holidays are already beginning to pop up everywhere we go. Even though it seems like most stores are jumping right into Christmas carols and stringing lights on trees, we know you all haven't forgot about Thanksgiving! But with the holidays there comes a surplus in the need to impress family (a.k.a. the dreaded in-laws). Why not distract them with a breathtaking shoe? The secret to great winter party footwear is a classic style with one small variation to give it a unique touch that will put your shoes on everyone's minds. Here is my list of elegant booties, flats, and heels that can help you dance around all those nosy questions from extended family members throughout the holidays!

HEELS: While a holiday party heel should be simple, it should also be a little daring as well. That could mean a color that one wouldn't normally consider, or a heel with an extra twinkle to catch attention. Be bold!

FLATS: If your parties are going to involve a lot of standing around, you might want to consider a cute flat to spice up your outfit. For these times, go for metallics, or something with a little sparkle. A flat that could be confused as a causal shoe can deflate a lot of the style that your clothing brings to the table. Stay away from your old, worn out flats and bring out the fun, decorative styles you've been saving for this time of year!

BOOTIES: Booties might not be your first choice for the holidays, but you'd be surprised how stylish they can be with your favorite holiday outfits! Pairing any of these with tights and a dress could be exactly what you need to take your outfit from everyday fabulous to holiday ready.
