TrendSpark: Shoes That Point

TrendSpark: Shoes That Point

In classical dance, you begin ballet classes with the dream of someday advancing to en pointe, also known as the style of ballet where you wear extra uncomfortable shoes with plaster toes that do terrible things to your feet while making you look unspeakably elegant. It makes a kind of sense, then, that this would translate well to the fashion world; we started off with the tame ballet flat, modeled upon the ballet slipper, but now certain designers are designing footware that bear an increasingly strong resemblance to pointe shoes (and this is to say nothing of ankle-ribbons). Take note of the super blunt, squared-off toes (though I’d imagine they are less painful than the dance version):

Shop: Day-to-Night Dresses

Edited by

Something about summer nights makes me reluctant to head home after I leave work; all of this means that I need to find outfits that are office appropriate but don’t make me look like a B&T/d-bag corporate type (put the weapons away, I work at a huge corporation too). Anywho this hot pink dress from French Connection is exactly the type of thing I’m looking for. The tailoring means that this look is eminently office appropriate, but the decidedly mod take on the shirtdress makes it just as much fun for a night out (and then of course, there is the color). Pair with ballet flats while at the office and slip on a pair of bold black gladiators for later.
