OK, I won’t bore you with my account of those satin and lace slippers with little bows and delicate beadwork and cute fringe, just let me say that they were fit for the queen of shoes, Marie Antoinette.
Now for the rest of us there are lacey shoes out there, some delicate and wispy, some seriouse and no-nonsense, some playful and happy, and some in styles that no self-respecting hard-working woman can imagine wearing.
Take 1,2,3 and 4, these are beautiful. You can wear them with long formal gowns or with cocktail dresses, you can match them with your dress or go for a complete contrast. wear black lace shoes with a colorful bjut simple cut cocktail dress. I like to view them as formal wear.
5 and 6 ; a little lace or a lot, sweet or playful. You can dress them up with ankle length feminin skirt or dres them down with skinny dark or white jeans and a t-shirt. They are happy, simple and delisousely casual.
7: a very modern lace for those who like unfussy modern styles.
8 and 9: delicate elegant lace, I like to wear them with skinny cropped jeans (or a simple black minidress with opaque tights) in an all black outfit and let the shoes to be te focal point of the outfit.
10: beginner lace or lace shoes for the conservatives. It is safe and elegant enough to wear at work or in day time.
11: oh, don’t! just don’t wear anything like this if you are over 5 years old! Although I think Paris Hilton might sport a pair!
12: modern lace but tricky to get it right. The shoes are so eye-catching that you have to keep everything else simple and covered. They are seduction incarnated, show-a-little hide-a-little, and to avoid going over board, be very careful with the rest of your outft.
13; beautiful on their own but I am not sure if they look respectable with any outfit.
These boots are close to that ladies-of-the-night look girls of the oldest profession sport.
If you are as conservative as me, you won’t get close to lace-y boots.
And finally, whatever you do, do not EVER wear lace shoes with a lace dress or skirt with lace shoes. Matchy-matchy is not a good look when it comes to lace.
