STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Polished Platforms

April 14th, 2015 at 2:00am

Disco fever has hit the streets of East Lansing in one very big way. I look around at the feet of my fellow students and I have noticed that platforms are back in action. What isn’t great about shoes that are comfortable and fashionable while at the same time authentic and vintage? Nothing makes me more passionate about fashion then seeing fashion pieces make comebacks in new and improved ways.

Platforms stand out to me since they aren’t your run of the mill fashion choice for students. To me, fashion is all about being different and innovative and standing out in the crowd. I saw this Fashionista walking to class and could not resist asking her where she got those shoes. Let’s not forget that these platforms also make you look taller without the pain that comes from stilettos. These aren’t just any platforms, they are platform tennis shoes.

Seeing this Fashionista rock the platform shoes has officially convinced me to go out and invest in a pair. That is one thing that I truly love about this style is that it inspired me to try something different with my wardrobe. I especially loved the silver metallic star details in the shoes. Not to mention, how white and spotless the shoes were. We all know wearing white is typically dangerous and I give kudos to this Fashionista. She matched the killer trend with a high-waisted floral skirt and clear rain jacket.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I always try to dress to impress. There is no such thing as being overdressed in my book. It is all about being different and expressing yourself through your outfit choices.”
