Shoes for the Forty Yet Flirty

For the forty-something Miss Vixen, gone would be her Rave Wear nights and miniskirt days. That doesn't mean she's no longer trendy – in fact, her style is now more sophisticated and refined. Kudos to her because she can now perfectly pull off the sensible and authoritative look (for real!).

However, there will be moments when she might need an extra hand in terms of picking out a few key pieces to complete an ensemble. For the fabulous forty, their life and bodies will undergo some major changes during this time. This could really affect how they make decisions for their fashion style.

One of the most important aspects for outfits over forty is shoe choice. With so many fads out there though, which is alright to wear and which ones to be wary of? Don't feel overwhelmed; start out with these practical hints and you'll be forty and flirty in no time:

Nude and Proud

 Also referred to as skin-tone shoes, these come in a variety of styles and heights. What's great about them is that they look awesome on any feet – at any age. A common fear for the forty-something woman is looking too old. Pumps in a nude shade can instantly fix that dilemma by creating the illusion of longer, sexier legs. The nicer the legs, the younger you'll seem to be. 

BEWARE:

No matter how nice those legs are, miniskirts are a no-no once you hit forty.

More Chunk in the Trunk

Chunky heels are all the rage this season. That could only mean happy feet and shoes: the myriad of beautiful footwear choices will make women of all ages fall in love all over again; while no longer having to suffer the pain of mighty heels. The advantages of chunks are two-fold: on one side, they're as comfortable as wedges or flats; on the other hand, they have the height of stilettos and kitten heels. So there's really no reason not to own a pair in your favorite color!

Keeping Shoes Holiday Happy

Being a sexy missvixen in Winter can be tough: you must fulfill all those Holiday obligations while still looking fresh and pretty. Imagine the stress! Good thing you have an extensive wardrobe you can mix and match with your vast collection of shoes and accessories. Speaking of shoes, how are they recently?

Winter time can be harsh on those lovely pumps and leather boots. Remember that good shoes are a necessity in cold months; they keep the feet warm and dry, plus pulls any outfit together. No matter what you're doing this Holiday season, your footwear will keep you company until the next patch of flowers bloom. After all, it's hard to feel like a celebrity in damaged shoes. So making sure that they're always in good condition is essential.

Leather Love

One of the best things ever to be invented, leather makes everything all the more sexy and sophisticated – be it bags or shoes. When it comes to this precious material, weather-proofing is key. Just like skin, leather has tiny pores which can absorb substances such as water. It would need constant moisture though, to keep it supple and prevent it from cracking.

During freezing temperatures, most people have the habit of placing their shoes near the radiator or heater so they'll be toasty once you slip your feet in them. Bad move. Too much heat can cause it to dry, producing those unhappy cracks you see in old products. Invest in leather protection like a conditioning spray or water-proofing wax to help keep them soft and beautifully smooth. If it rains and your boots are soaked, let them dry naturally by inserting crumpled newspapers inside the soles to retain their shape.
