I have recently been following @theuseweife aka the fashionable houseweife blog. She did a review on some cute, comfortable sandals for women. I was curious if anyone has eexperience with comfort footwear such as sandals, boots or shoes.

I'm getting older and my feet cant take the abuse of heels anymore so I've started to migrate towards more comfortable footwear. I already have a pair on the way and am curious if there are any other recommendations out there.

I have a good friend getting married in June.  I want to buy this dress and where it to her wedding.

dress for friend's wedding

My husband like's it and I didn't give one thought to the white in the background all day and then it hit me, could this be considered inappropriate because there is white in the background?

So, its starting to get warmer and I'm finding it hard to find things to wear. My style is kind of edgy but simple. In the fall and winter, I usually wear jackets or button up shirts with combat boots. But, when it gets warmer I don't really know what to wear that reflects my style. In the summer, I usually just wear a tshirt, shorts and my beat-up Vans. And I feel like I look like a 12 year old sometimes by the way I dress in the summer haha sooo I want to change that up. Maybe to something that is edgy and cute but also makes me like my age (I'm 19 by the way)

I also wanted some suggestions for some casual spring/summer shoes that I can wear everyday. My Vans are getting a little old haha.

Any suggestions? :)

So my prom dress is red, floor length, sleeve less, and very classy. The top part is a red lace over nude fabric. I’m trying to decide what kind of heels to wear. I think it could wear black or nude heels. I don’t want to wear red because I think that’d be too much red and I don’t want silver or gold either because I think it’d look weird with my dress. So are black heels or nude heels better with red prom dresses? What do you think?

Hi, Im going to a wedding soon and have bought a cream dress, I cannot find any heels that will match this strange colour though. Tan, Nude and cream shades seem to clash so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks

I found a pair of really cute red suede heels with a bow on the front at the back of my closet, more or less like these ones: http://24.media.tumblr.com/e93074acd1e2f9fc0e9c29d25d2079ac/tumblr_mtvyb0yAPO1rrjuzko1_500.jpg

and I'm wondering what to wear them with. My style has sort of gravitated from a much more vintage inspired one (lots of dresses, lace, polka dots) to a much more eclectic one (printed jumpers, slogan tees with pencil skirts, menswear) so how would you style them?

Hi, What do you think about wearing nike free shoes without socks? I usualy seeing when girls wearing his nikes without socks in gym. When thei take them shoes off in lockroom they beeing totaly barefoot. Its look good but kind a weird.

So, anyone wearing like this? 

I'm trying to decide which color to purchase a jacket in. It comes in Khaki (which is a tan color) and Pewter (which is a green). I'm torn on the tan (sometimes it makes me think girl scout uniform) and I like the green, but already own a similar cargo style jacket in that color. I think both colors are versatile and on-trend with spring 2014 colors - but which is more so?

Here is the link to the jacket (DKNY Hooded Mixed-Media Faux-Leather-Sleeve Anorak):

Please help, and thanks!

Hi

I was planning to buy a lovely pair of purple suede sandals and was wondering if suede can be worn during spring and summer. Plz advice

I have a pair of black legwarmers that I wear either when I’m indoors or tucked in a pair of boots when I go out and peeking out (in the wintertime. It’s too early for that where I live). I want another fashionable use for them though. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m not sure how to wear them with Converse or in any other manner without looking completely 80’s aerobics

Alright, so my style is not the girly-est, and I want to take it up to eleven. Usually I wear things like purple skinny jeans, brightly colored graphic-tees, or just a large amount of cute black clothing. I also love tights and headbands. But what I want is to be really ridiculously girly, kind of like in an old school Hollywood glam kind of way.
So, how would I go about this? What kind of clothes should I be looking for and how would I accessorize? Are there any relatively cheap stores where I can find the look I want?

Hellllo!! I’m on a huge DIY kick, and I want to hear all of your favorite DIY projects, sites, blogs… anything. I just made these ’09 Prada Resort earrings

I wore them tonight for the first time and I LOVE the way they look. The earrings I made are smaller, but still cool I think.

Anyway, your ideas?

Hi,

 I have an evening wedding, 6pm, and  I am torn about what to wear. I am trying to stay away from black but it is the easiest thing to do. Any suggestions on color?

So I got a gorgeous cobalt blue pencil skirt from Maurice’s a few weeks ago, and I’ve been dying to color block it with some other bright colors – namely, green and hot pink. I finally found what I thought would be the perfect blouse in green and chunky high heel sandals in hot pink (with a matching hot pink satchel), and when I tried it on today I feel in love. I thought it was perfect… but my sister thought otherwise. In fact, she said it was awful and she was really kind of mean about it.

Now this is a girl who wears nothing but blue jeans (black when she’s feeling dressy) and t-shirts (mostly in red or black), so I normally brush her criticisms off, but this is a pretty bright and risky combo, so before I wear it to the office I wanted to get some other opinions. Tell me – am I crazy, or is she?

Here are some pics – sorry for the dirty mirror, my toddler nephew is obsessed with my mirror.

Hello,

I bought a dress similar to this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/186406872048916149/ except it's about knee length with spaghetti straps and has a mint "belt/sash" on it.

I was wondering if I could wear it with black heels like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dior-Caged-Black-Leather-Booties-US-37-/271400164714?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&hash=item3f30b5dd6a without it looking awkward (it's for my 19th birthday),
I was also looking for ways to wear the dress in more casual ways?

Thanks :)

I’ve seen on some blogs people referencing stripper shoes or some others worry about dressing down stripper shoes. I’m wondering, what makes a pair of heels considered stripper shoes?

Hi! I bought THIS LOVELY FLORAL DRESS . I love it, but it fits me straight and without any shape on my -straigt too- body. How would you belt it and style it for a girls night out? Thank u so much, you're always the best

  thanks gals

Hey guys i am new to chictopia, but i was wondering what is your opinion on Litas? Are they just a trend and if so, how long will this trend last? orrr Do you guys think that they will always be in style or classics?? I have yet to buy a pair,(I do own foxy woods) but I just wanted to see what the opinions are before i make my purchase> :)

I was wondering if I could wear a brown pencil skirt, with burgundy shirt, some heels, and add a tight like this one:Pattern tights from Best Sock Drawer to an interview (notice the interview is at a fashion store). Is it ok to dress a little more fun/free since it's for a fashion company? Or maybe would this clothes look too "matchy" and boring? What's your suggestions? Tks!

so i was looking at the august 2010 issue of seventeen magazine (the one with rhianna on it) and i decided to check out madonna’s new fashion line, “material girl.” of course, i saw that there were black, lace-up combat boots in the collection….something that i’ve wanted for SOOLONGG but never managed to find for under $50. they’re so chic!! can anybody help me find some boots that i can get for a low price? something in the budget of a 14 year old without a job? (i want a job, too, believe me….) haha anyway, here’s a picture, just in case you have no clue what i’m talking about:

help!!! thank ya(;

what are your thoughts on them? do you use them? would you rather colour your hair different colours instead of using extensions?

My friend is getting married in June and she has wanted to have polka dot shoes to go with her wedding dress. Her wedding dress is tea length and they are going with a retro vibe. Her colors are purple, gray, and green (she is a 9.5). I've looked everywhere for polka dot shoes in this color and can't find them. Plenty of black and white or navy and white but not what she needs.

Do you guys think you could help? She's a good friend and I want her to have what she wants on her wedding day.

Thanks
