A Diva State of Mind

I am needing some serious help putting together outfits to go with these suede pumps. Please help.

Tiffany those pumps are fabulous! To transition suede pumps from fall/winter to spring/summer, pair them with lighter fabrics and brighter hues.

For a classic polished look, pair the pumps with a sheath dress.  This outfit can be worn for multiple occasions including work, dinner and an evening party. The belt helps create a waste and the ruffle detail brings the eyes up to the top half of the body.  The ruffle detail is a great option for women who are bigger on their bottom than top or have a boyish frame. Compliment the look with a textured clutch and fun coral nail polish.

High low hem skirts and dresses are a major trend this season.  For a fun and flirty look, pair the pumps with a printed skirt and bright color top.  Complete the look with bold accessories like this stone necklace and wrap watch from La Mer Collections (one of my favorite accessories). This is a great outfit for a weekend afternoon outing.

Another major trend this season is bright color pants in a variety of styles including denim, wide leg and ankle pants. Rock your purple pumps with a bright pair of pants and a striped top to add some dimension to the look. I know you may be thinking, does this match?! Absolutely! Navy is a neutral so this top can be worn with a variety of colors. Orange & purple and orange & blue are great color combinations so together this look is perfection! Complete the look with solid gold accessories and a neutral handbag.

I hope these suggestions give you the inspiration needed to create some great looks to wear with your pumps! Let me know if you need more help.
