Not-So-Basic Basics

I think it goes without saying that there are some things that every girl is going to own. I'm pretty sure that you can't get away with being the only girl at the party in black boots or a black blazer. But since so many girls have it too, don't you want to make sure that yours stands apart from the crowd? If you're wearing a black blazer too, dress it up with funky buttons, roll up the sleeves and add cool lining, or go for a double-breasted style. These shoes bring a new twist to your average black boots. Mine are biker and pretty ordinary but I think a heeled version with some sexy straps and fun details make these stand out and will have you definitely making a statement. If you have to wear the same thing as everyone else, why not keep it interesting?
