Shoes are one of the most important elements to consider when selecting your fall wardrobe, after all, shoes can make or break an outfit. Before embarking on your shoe shopping sojurn, here’s a sneak peak at the hottest fall shoe trends.
1) Mules – a mule is a stylish alternative to wearing a full boot, with a heel height and toe-styling that can go from casual or super hot western looks. Western-styled mules are great to slip on with a pair of stylish high-end denims or dress slacks. These are as comfortable to wear as they look, too!, and can be worn with textured stockings for a super trendy look.
