I love mixing the masculine gladiator style with a soft suede and a feminine purple. It makes the shoe that much more interesting and dynamic. I have to say, the gladiator trend is really victorious this season (excuse the pun.) I would pair this particular heel with a fitted black or ooo maybe a yellow dress (I know, that's pretty daring, but I've always enjoyed purple and yellow.)

not really a fan of the gladiator look, but I love that this shoe doesnt have way too many straps. so its trendy without trying to hard.
Definitely a fun shoe
