5 Shoes That Every Woman Should Have

Women love shoes. From sophisticated pumps to pretty ballet flats, all types of shoes are just welcome in our closet. However, it’s easy for a lady to get distracted with all the sky-high heels and feather-fairing shoes, and ignore the basics that could complement a daily outfit.

So, to make sure that the foundation of your shoe closet is set right, here are five basic shoe types that should be present in your shoe wardrobe.

  1. Coloured Ballet Flats

It’s undeniable that a pair of black ballets is every woman’s classic go-to shoe, but a coloured pair also makes for a confident and fun fashion statement. Add a pop of colour on your outfit by opting for a pair set in berry hues with a touch of silver or metallic gold colour.

  1. Black Heels

Whether or not it’s a sky-high heel, this pair is a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. A perfect match for almost any outfit that you can imagine, a good pair of black heels is a worthy piece of investment. You can go for the classic black heels—closed back and toe with 3-inch heels—or opt for a pair with thicker heels with either round or pointed toe.

  1. Nude Pumps

Creating an illusion of longer legs is made possible with nude pumps. Perfect for a semi-casual or even a night-out outfit, these shoes are just trans-seasonal. Pair them up with black leggings for a sleek and casual vibe, or wear them with bare legs for taller and sexier stand.

  1. Cork Wedges

With its comfortable, casual but chic look, cork wedges are known as the warm weather wardrobe hero. Opt for a style with higher heels or those with metallic materials on the straps to complete a fun summer outfit.

  1. Black Ankle Boots

Complete an edgy look, toughen a floaty dress, or finish off a boardroom ensemble by donning a pair of black ankle boots. With this pair, sporting chic heels while keeping your feet warm is never impossible.

Sticking to the basics is important not just in clothing pieces, but for shoes as well. So make sure that your shoe wardrobe has the right foundation by getting a pair (or two!) of each of the aforementioned shoe styles.

If we are liked by many, somehow things will be smooth and easy. To be liked, we do our best to please but unfortunately, we cannot please everyone especially here in Singapore. The best thing that we can do is to be true to ourselves and never mind about other people.

  • Will IE stay? The new name and brand of the browser will be included in the Windows 10 operating system. IE will still exist in selected versions of Windows 10. However, Project Spartan will be called separately and it will be the main way for users of Windows 10 to access the web.
  • What will be the new name? Web users are intrigued because Microsoft did not release the name. Instead, they only released the codename. This is because Microsoft is still testing names with the help of market research. There are no details when the name will be revealed.

The renaming and rebranding of IE is a clever step of Microsoft to make money in the future. The company is fortifying their position in the market with the help of social media. They also want to improve the brand perception so that people will love and welcome it.
