Shoes for New Year's

By -
You bought an uber trendy dress for that party New Year's Eve. What are you putting on your feet?! If you didn't see what you wanted in becca's latest Target challenge, maybe one of these goodies will catch your eye.

I love that cute ballerina flats are everywhere because they are perfect for a night of dancing. Make sure the flat you pick is embellished enough to shine in the sea of heels, and you should be able to dance until dawn.

A black shoe is a good investment if you're doing New Year's on a budget because you can wear them again and again. Embellishments and patterns will keep a black pump from looking like you came straight from your receptionist job. If your dress is a little wild, a neutral would be your best bet.

If your dress is a solid color, consider buying contrasting shoes. There's nothing that says you have to wear silver with a black dress when you can wear teal instead. Navy? Try magenta. Two words of caution: If your dress is highly patterned or embellished, a colored shoe may make it too busy. Also, don't try to get matchy matchy. The chances of finding a perfect match are slim, plus it may make you look like a lady who lunches.Bold colors: pink patent rose cut-outs, BCBGirls, Zappos $99.95

Metallics are another evening stand-by. If you're not very out-going with your style, pair your silver with silver and your gold with gold. It's hard to mix metals and look right, but if you're one of the brave few, send us a picture! We just might put it up for everyone to enjoy.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
