It's always refreshing when shoes in bright colors are so readily available. And while they're obviously not as versatile as our black, white, or neutral shoes, they're certainly a welcome change.

But, if you just aren't sure how to wear the bright colors, don't worry, it's not difficult at all. Nearly any of the brights will work with denim, whites, blacks, light neutrals, or any print that has the same color in it -- but don't feel you have to be too matchy-matchy.

For example, I like to use the "reverse shoe" rule: lime green shoes with a navy dress that has bit a hint of lime.

If my dress was heavy in lime green with a bit of black, I'd opt for black shoes instead of lime, etc. Buy Direct
