So you’ve already booked a place for your soiree this coming New Year’s Eve and even gotten a cute bag to carry around for your party. Perhaps you’ve even thought of which sparkly dresses you’d like to wear for the occasion. If glittery dresses aren’t your cup of tea, how about embellished heels for the party season instead?
Embellished heels are infinitely easier to pull off and have better mileage, as you could wear them all year round should the occasion see fit. Unlike sparkly dresses, you could wear a subtly embellished heel to the office and no one would bat an eyelid.
Is there such a thing as embellished heels that are too embellished? Well, no. It is entirely up to how far you’d like to take the embellishments — you can wear it subtly like these patented Gucci heels with an embellished bow, or go the extravagant direction with these Dolce & Gabbana Mary Janes. The possibilities are endless. Incidentally, there is also such a thing as a fully-sequinned heel that doesn’t make you look like a walking Christmas tree: these Jimmy Choos.
The key to making extravagantly embellished heels work, lies in the rest of your outfit. Keep it simple on the top and funky on the feet. Unless, of course, the theme is Ultra Sparkly.
