I recently got asked to style a pair of shoes for the Planet Shoes Blog. I thought it would be tough choosing from their large number of shoes, but the moment I saw these Kenneth Cole Reaction wedges, I knew they had to be mine. The neutral colors beg to be paired with practically everything, and the unique shape makes them stand out in the crowd. I wanted to style this one pair of shoes three ways: for work, for a date and for a casual weekend.

For the work look I wanted to pair it with a color I often wear for work, which is black. By adding this multi-colored cropped kimono on top, the green in the shoes is drawn out. I think that with any other shoe, this would wouldn’t be as much of a statement. Imagine if I had swapped in a pump – boring! This shoe is truly the star of the outfit, which is hard to do with a kimono this fabulous!

Going on a date usually means putting on a dress (well, at least to me it does!) I love feeling girly and this little summer dress give me the feminine vibe, while still remaining sophisticated. I couldn’t believe how the colors were such a perfect match for the shoe! I added a belt to add definition to my waist. I adore how the shoes give a bit of a boho feeling to the look.

I couldn’t help but pair these shoes with one of my favorite casual sweaters in a similar olive green color. With warm weather, I love pairing breathable sweaters with short denim cutoffs for an interesting juxtaposition of bare and covered up. The shoes and the sweater match well and thus make the look so pulled together, while still being casual and easy.

These shoes have a long list of clothing waiting to be paired with them to create endless outfits. I can’t wait to get started!
