Hello My Pretties- Shoes!

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you will notice that I have a love of shoes. A cute little pump or stiletto can make an outfit go from meh to hot damn! And the best thing about shoes- you can always find a pair that fits. So imagine my delight when I discovered that a local museum was holding an exhibit on modern women's footware.

The exhibit displayed women's shoes from the 1890's through 2000. Boots were the popular style during the turn of the century because hemlines rose due to fabric shortages. Must keep those sexy ankles covered ladies! Then the flapper age dawned and the pump as we know it was born to help support the foot for all of those new happening dance moves.

The styles of the 40's and '30s

Red Velvet pumps from the '40s. Yes, I wanted them!

Alas, they watched me too closely to sneak some of these lovelies into my pocket, but they are having an event in September I hope to attend. Open Toes and Cosmos. How great is that?

Look at how thin that heel is.

So what are your favorite shoes? Platforms or sandles? Sky high or a little kitten heel? Whatever your fancy, I hope they make you feel truly decadent.
