ALL IN THE DETAILS: On the Cutting Edges They Wear Wedges

Summertime is the perfect chance to show off those adorable sandals and wedges! Wedges can be tricky to dress accordingly, but with a little help, they can make a killer statement (they can also add an instant boost for those of us not blessed with height).

So, how should we wear our wedges? Well, this Fashionista shows us how! She chose to pair them with the perfect summer staple: a maxi dress. This dress is a very bold statement, so she chose to go with neutral wedges to add height but not take away from the overall look. The wedges don’t have to be the only accessory though; adding a little jewelry never hurts. Here, this Fashionista went with a subtle sparkle, adding two silver rhinestone bangles and a coordinating ring (an engagement ring I might add!). All of this together makes for a great summer outfit!

How To: When deciding on which wedges to wear, keep in mind two things: the occasion and the outfit. Keeping in mind the occasion you are attending helps you narrow down the appropriate height and style of the shoes and also reminds you that you might need to bring a backup if it is going to be a long night. Keeping the outfit in mind helps determine what color the shoe should be. A good rule of thumb is to let either the outfit or the shoes do the talking. Make them the focus and you can sport your crazy colors, prints and patterns. Otherwise, make the outfit bold and stick to neutral footwear. This way, you can guarantee your look will be a head above the rest!
