I’ve always said that ankle straps are like seat belts for your feet (and we could certainly use those – safety first!), but with these shoes, designers are taking that functional feature and tying it up in a pretty bow. This is an adorable look that I’m completely behind, and one that will elevate any outfit to black tie status. There’s nothing more traditionally feminine than a bow, whether worn in the hair, on a dress, on a bag…it’s an accent that has accented just about everything in fashion at one point or another! And for now, I’ll be wearing mine on my feet.
