My number one piece of advice when it comes to shoes? Make a statement! Contrary to what you might hear, this is not the place to invest in neutral or basic staple styles.

One of the most common things I hear as a style coach is, "I'd love to wear more color but I just don't know how." And I get it. Wearing a new color or pairing colors together when you normally dress in neutrals can feel a little intimidating. So I'm breaking it down for you step-by-step. Let's get colorful!

What I’m about to say might shock you. There is no such thing as staple items every woman should own. You heard me right, no such thing as 10 must have items or 5 summer style essentials you need in your wardrobe or the 7 pieces every stylish woman has in their closet. Why? No two people are alike, so why would you need the same staple items as everyone else? Ya don’t!
