What To Consider When Adding Shoe And Boot Bling To Your Footwear Wardrobe

By Tammie Caldwell


If you are trying to make your footwear wardrobe more versatile you may think all you can do is add more shoes or boots. This is not the case. If you are working on a tight budget or you want to give your favorite pair of footwear a little more versatility, you may want to think about buying shoe or boot bling. These fun items can really help switch up your look and add a lot of extra wear to your current shoe wardrobe.

When you start looking around at the options and the styles that people are wearing, you will see a huge range available. This means that if you are just starting to buy these items, you may not know what to look for. Breaking it down to a few simple criteria can make it easier to successfully narrow down the choices available.

One thing to consider is the type of footwear you will be adding the bling to. For example, if you are adding a bit of an extra touch to shoes, you will want to look at a different style of bling than if you are looking at adding something more to a pair of boots. The style of boots you are going to be pairing the accessory with will also dictate what kind of chain or bling you want to add.

Shoes work best with clips since these can be attached to the front. These usually feature a metal clip that has a front which is embellished with different items. You can find clips that are covered with fabric, sequins, crystals and even flowers. They may be too small to clip onto the top of boots but look great on a pair of flats or pumps.

Boots may need a different style of accessory to make them look their best. You may want to look at the many ankle chains or beaded strands that are available. These are often draped around the ankle of the boot itself. Some may be long enough that they can be draped across the bottom of the boot right in front of the heel.

If you know that you will be wearing your bling for a specific occasion, you may be able to choose styles that are more extravagant or elaborate. If you will be going to a wedding, for example, you may want to consider accessories that have more extensive beading or even floral accents. If you want items that can be worn more on a daily basis, you may want to try and look for understated styles that will work with a wider variety of outfits.

When wearing items on a daily basis, it is important to coordinate the clothes that you wear. Remember that you want your shoe jewelry to be a focal point. It can be a good idea to choose a more basic outfit and use your footwear accessories as more of a focal point.

Once you know what kind of item you are looking for, you can go shopping. These items are more popular than ever at the moment so they should be easy to find. You can locate options in shoe stores as well as in clothing and jewelry stores. Websites such as competewithstyle.com also have great options to choose from. Then you can start accessorizing your footwear and step out in style.
