After professing my love for boots for the last few chilly months, I think I’m ready for sandals. My poor toes are looking to break free and I’m dying to purchase a plethora of new totally needed sandals.
But red high heels are good anytime of the year, no?
One of my fondest red high heel memories is with my bestie in 2004 down in LA. She had come down to visit me for the weekend and we decided to do it up as two single girls on the town would do (insert eveil laugh here). We decided to get these crazy strong drinks called “Navy Grogs” on Manhattan Beach Blvd (in Manhattan Beach), which certainly left us feeling, err, tipsy. Then we decided we’d walk the 1+ mile to Harry O’s. What does this have to do with red heels? I was borrowing Andrea’s faboosh shoes (4″ mind you) that night. It’s a good thing we were tipsy because walking that far in those killer heels would have been the ruin of me. I’m quite certain there was blood in them at the end of the night (TMI?).
Anyway, I still have a fondness for red heels, but now I wear them in a more subdued manner, like with this work outfit:
Love the days I can wear jeans to work
Jeans: 7 for all Mankin. Jacket: NY&Co. Satin ruffled tank: Kendra.
Here’s a close up of the shoes:
Boutique 9 red pumps
I bought these Boutique 9 (sister of Nine West) at Marhsalls in 2007-ish I’m guessing for less than $50. I love the quilting and stitching as an extra flair. And these puppies are comfy. Perhaps I should put them to the real test and walk a mile to a bar in them 
And besides all that, I love a punch of color to an otherwhat subdued outfit.
2 Fun Facts for you: 1) US Today reports that the average number of shoes a US woman has is 17; 2) Today is my 200th post 
What “punch of color” do you like to add to your look?
And…nothing to do with shoes…what did you think of the the Bachelor’s pick?
Bwahahahaha! I love that you made a post out of our 1-mile crazy walk. Didn’t we also attempt to walk home after that? Or we got a cab? And don’t forget these red shoes also made the perfect accessory for a halloween outfit that was worn by not 1 but 3 ladies. They’re so versatile!
Wait, my memory is now getting fuzzy…was that halloween outfit worn on halloween by Kelley? or we just made her try it on at one of our fashion walk girls nights?
Haha..we just made her try it on
And we took a cab home that night..an epic night I do believe!
Haha, that’s the worst–when you drink too much and don’t realize how much pain your feet are in until you wake up the next morning. No lie, one time my toes were numb for a good 24 hours after. But like you said, at least I (apparently) didnt notice at the time!
Numb? Oh no..that must have been a *really* good night
Love those red heels! I’ve got a pair of orange ones that I love to bust out every now and then!
Oooo orange! That’s a color I don’t have
I like to add a punch of color with shoes, or scarves! (Right now I have blue leopard flats and a solid blue scarf hehe.) These things come in handy because so much of my wardrobe is black/grey/neutral! haha
Must see the blue leopard flats!
I love red heels!! I recently bought some Madden Girl ones that I am obsessed with plus they are way comfortable. I love the side stitching, super cute
Thanks!
It’s my firm belief that every girl needs to own a pair of red shoes. No matter if they’re boots or heels… it needs to happen!
I agree Amy!
I always add a punch of colour in my shoes. I really feel heels make the most of any outfits. I literally have shoes is in just about every single colour from yellow to red to orange to hot pink to blue to light blue…okay enough of that. ha.
I love Steve Madden and Nine West. <3
Love that you’re a fan of color Hollie =)
I think my red heels are probably my favorite shoes of all time. I especially love them because theyre kind of slutty.
Love this: “kind of slutty”
Wow, you bring new meaning to the term shoe fetish!!
Red shoes are for lovers, I agree. Always in style!
Yes I do have a shoe fetish Megan!
I love the red!
The Bachelor – as I expected. But the “After-Rose Ceremony” was sooooooo awkward!! She is so cautious and he’s all professing his love for her. He looked so uncomfortable…I agree with her – obviously you can’t just get married! But she seemed so weird-like talking about him even…
We are on the same page with The Bachelor Jennifer!
Love ‘em! Especially love the stitching on the side!
Me too
I love shoes and those are super cute!
Those red pumps have some spunk! I don’t think I own any red pumps like that, I have a more subdued pair from Nine West for work but I hardly wore it and donated it.
I think you can wear a rainbow shoes and make it look good girl.
Yay for 200th post! I’m nearing mine, maybe a month or so
I always get comments when I wear them to work Lea
You are rockin the red girl!
These are so much cooler than just plain red pumps!
Thanks Amy =)
Those red heels are HOT! I love bright greens, blues, and reds. USA Today actually featured an article about how the average woman owns 17 pairs of shoes. Personally, I thought that number was a little low! I probably have at least 25!
I thought it was low too!
LOVING the shoes! It’s been in the 70′s in Florida for the past couple weeks now, so I’ve had the boots put away and I’ve pulled out the flip flops! I kind of miss my boots… but not the weather that comes along with it! Hellooooo bikinis
I loved coming across your blog! It seems like we have a lot in common! The Bachelor was such a disappointment! I loved Emily all season, but then she got all fake and weird on the aftershow… at least pretend everything is perfect and you’re going to last to humor us for the finale!
