Red Ankle Boots: Sexy, Seductive, and Difficult to Style?

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

As a general rule, ankle boots can be easily paired up with most clothing styles. Whether you choose to pair it with a dress, leggings, mini-skirt, or skinny jeans, ankle boots can finish your look stylishly with a bang. While neutral colors of ankle boots are best-sellers all year round as they can be worn with any shade of dress or top, red ankle boots are also among the top choices among fashion-forward fashionistas because they ooze sexiness and seduction effortlessly.

The only problem with red ankle boots is that they may be difficult to style. But is that really true at all? Red is a challenging shade for a top, a jacket, a pair of jeans, and most especially for shoes. For ankle boots, there are ways to get around this color. Follow these tips to find out how you can pull off wearing red ankle boots without looking like Red Riding Hood.

A round neck long-sleeved tee paired with skinny jeans is casual but ultra-chic especially if you have red ankle boots to pair it with. Finish the ensemble with a red necklace to complement your top.

If you are the daring type, pair your red ankle boots with a white tube top covered with a stylish black jacket. A pair of light-colored skinny jeans is your best bet to cover up those elongated gams. White and black colors can easily make your red ankle boots stand out. In this way, onlookers will not be distracted as to where they should look – your top or your sexy pair of ankle boots.

Black and red are great color combinations so choose a casual black shirt with a single red color and pair it with black skinny jeans. Finish your look with a tote bag in red to complement your red ankle boots. This look means you only have two colors – black and red so it will really make you stand out from the crowd.

As you can see, red ankle boots isn’t exactly difficult to style. As long as you know your way around colors, this shouldn’t pose a problem for you. In fact, it should challenge your creativity for you to really be a full-blown fashionista.

A Bit ‘O Sunshine!

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Although color blocking has become all the rage, if dressing up in the brightest colored fabrics is not your thing, fear not! There are women’s accessories that can keep you in the loop of fashion trends without you having to sacrifice your entire outfit to do so! Enter then, the yellow women’s purse that is now what I believe to be one of women’s fashion accessories that are an absolute must have for the spring and summer.

We all have our staple colors we naturally gravitate to when we’re putting together our favorite outfit for the day. So when trends roll our way, insisting we break out of our comfort zones and into bolder newer territories we have not yet conquered, there may be some hesitation to go wild with it. The easiest way to transition into a new trend without going headfirst, is to practice and see how well you like it with women’s accessories. So when the world of fashion tells us bright hues in color blocks are in, it’s time to step into a new dimension, but carefully, with a bright yellow bag!

Yes, we will not forsake the trend of color blocking, but we will also take heed in going about embracing this trend in a way that we’re comfortable with. The joys of having women’s fashion accessories make it easy for us to add a little pop of color with a yellow bag, without going all yellow from head to toe. With the onset of summer here, we can foretell a hot season ahead of us. So even while we still get up in the morning to gloomy weather, don’t hesitate to bring a preview of what’s to come in the form of your bag.

Plum Perfect in Purple!

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Of all the colors in the rainbow, none other than purple has captured my heart in the head of color blocking! The rich shade of violet purple has popped up in trendy women’s clothing in the form of pants! Street style and some of fashion’s top notch fashionistas have debuted their own style of this new fad in an effortless way that’ll have you scouring the stores for your very own pair.

Purple is not a popular color to wear on your bottom, but more so than ever, I’m seeing just how easy it is to throw together some of the cutest every-day outfits! One of the most memorable eye-catching ways I saw it being placed in an ensemble, has to be with an acid washed motor-style jacket, a polka dot top and black women’s sandals. Harem pants in a purple shade give you a nice little throwback to the 80’s while giving you plenty of purple to soak in while maintaining a fun silhouette with the shape the harem pants give you.

Trendy women’s clothing doesn’t always have to be plucked from the runways or department stores. Take any trend that you see happening now, or formulate your own and rise against the tides of the fashion world, and see what styles suit your mood for that given day. Pants come in all shapes and styles, and choosing them is more than half the fun. But trying them in a punchy shade like purple takes your creative levels one notch higher as you delight in finding the perfect pair of women’s sandals to match with your textured pants.

Black ankle boots are like LBD’s. No woman can survive without them. Not only are black ankle boots a perfect match for absolutely any outfit, ankle boots in black are extremely sexy too. Black ankle boots are available in many styles – platform, laced, rhinestone bow embellished, buckled, and metallic, just to name a few. Because black ankle boots are probably the most used pair for any woman, it needs to be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. Black ankle boots are also manufactured from different materials so different methods of cleaning are required.

For example, leather ankle boots has a soft-supple texture. To maintain that texture, polish with a little castor oil and leave it to dry. The moisture will keep the boots from cracking while waterproofing it, thereby extending it’s life. Leather does not have the capacity to absorb water so the less water it absorbs, the longer it will last. You can also use protective sprays for longer life.

Suede ankle boots in black, on the other hand, just needs a quick brush to renew its look. Specific brushes are manufatured for suede cleaning but for budget-conscious fashionistas, an old toothbrush can do the trick. Brush the suede ankle boots carefully, making sure that the top layer is gently brushed to avoid destroying it. Masking tape can also be used to remove dirt ankle boots may have collected.

Black patent boots can be polished with petroleum jelly. Maintain the sheen on black patent ankle boots by soaking it in petroleum jelly for a little amount of time. Buff it with a soft cloth to finish. For a quick clean, wipe it with a damp cloth soaked with plain soap in a lukewarm water. Then use a soft cloth to buff the leather after drying.

Use shoe trees to maintain the original shape of your black ankle boots. Leather ankle boots should be kept away from the sunlight to prevent it from drying and eventually cracking. Air dry ankle boots should they become wet and avoid drying them with a heater or dryer.

Black ankle boots are elegant and timeless. They can be paired with skinny jeans, dresses, leggings, and skirts. With proper care and maintenance, ultra-chic black ankle boots can survive years of usage and wear.
