Now that we have discussed the importance of a basic black pump and a ballet flat, it’s time to discuss another important facet of building a shoe wardrobe: the evening shoe. I really think it's a good idea to have at least one or two timeless evening shoe options. First of all, if you have an event come up, it's nice to already own a shoe that works with most everything, so you can just focus on buying a dress. In addition, a beautiful evening shoe can transform a plain little black dress into a much dressier outfit. So if you're in a jam with a last-minute event, you can toss on that LBD and gorgeous pair of satin sandals, and you're all set.
In my mind, nothing can ruin a beautiful evening look, like putting on a pair of inappropriate shoes with an evening gown. And when I say inappropriate, I’m thinking of pairing something like a delicate chiffon gown with a a pair of office-appropriate black pumps or a chunky platform sandal. Perfectly wearable in other scenarios, but they just do not work with a gown.

After seeing the fabulous pumps from our latest giveaway, I had to check out all of the shoes on daniblack.com, and I am in love with these Mimosa flats. They are just gorgeous. I love the red satin, and the big flower. So pretty. I can totally see them with a cute skirt and sweater-set or even a pair of capris. They are satin so I wouldn’t throw them on with a laid-back casual outfit, but a slightly more dressy casual outfit works, if that makes sense! They are also a great option for a formal event if you simply can’t wear heels. And the price is fabulous!
