The question was raised, ' What are kitten heels?' Simply put
kitten
heels are a pair of low heeled pumps that ranges from basic black to
all the colours of the rainbow with varying styles to suit every woman's fancy:
pointed toes, rounded mouth, sling backs, peep toes, sometimes accentuated with
bows, buckles and tear cutouts; made with leather, silk, suede or any synthetic
fabric.
However if you have just started your collection, I will advise that you get the
basic colours: red, blue, black, cream and yellowish-tan; then branch out to
other colours and patterned shoes.
For many years I did not own a pair of black shoes. I always substituted red
for black; red was the new black for me and I always managed to pull it off.
For some reason black shoes never appealed to me. I dislike paring black
bottoms with black shoes. I would wear blue bottoms and tan shoes; green
bottoms with pink shoes, but I mostly wore red shoes; it was and still is my
first colour of choice. As I recall, I would go shopping with the intention of
buying a pair of black shoes and walk out the store with every other colour but
black. I finally kicked the habit, but to date I only have one pair of black
shoes and quite frankly that is all I need.
The vintage style affords for the wearing of beautiful and varying
colors of heels, without looking gaudy, which is another reason why I
absolutely love the vintage era so much. On the other hand, brightly coloured stilettos
get a lot of negative attention. It gives the appearance of trying too much. It
is even worse when a woman is all dressed up, in pretty coloured stilettos and
cannot even walk in them! # Shameful right?!
Anyways, I hope my explanation of
kitten heels was helpful, if not check out some eye catching kitten heels and
let me know what you think?
