Homecoming isn't just an excuse to buy a great new dress -- it's also the perfect reason to get a new pair of shoes as well. Homecoming usually isn't quite as formal as the prom, but you'll still want to think beyond basic, and look for shoes that are little more "special occasion."
You don't have to spend a lot, but you should be looking at evening shoes, instead of at shoes you could also pair with your new mini. My top picks below will give you some ideas as to what to look for in homecoming shoes.
Being gorgeous but simple is exactly what makes these shoes ideal for an event like homecoming. The fabric and synthetic leather trim adds just enough interest, and the color choices are fabulous -- red, black, navy or silver. The sling-back strap will help to keep the shoes on your feet, but with 4" heels, these are only a good choice if you're used to wearing high heels.
Unbelievably pretty, these sexy sandals feature just the right amount of rhinestones to make them sparkle without being overdone. Available in gold for dark gowns or white or silver for pastels these, shoes are hot.
If you're the kind of girl that wants to turn heads when you make your entrance, then you'll love these shimmery sandals. With a wearable 2.25" heel, this shoe features a slide design with skimpy straps adorned with jewel-encrusted brooches. Wear them with simple but sparkly jewelry, and a dress that's not overly embellished for a winning combination. Available in camel or silver.
If you're ever in doubt as to what kind of dress shoe to buy, few things beat a basic but pretty pump -- and these satin numbers fit that bill perfectly. Look for slightly pointy toes, covered heels and fabric uppers and you'll have a shoe that's versatile enough for many occasions. These particular shoes come in red, silver, mocha or black.
For my last pick, instead of recommending a specific shoe, I'm going to share with you one of my favorite shopping spots for dressy shoes. Bakers shoes carries loads of pretty special occasion footwear that you won't find anywhere else. And their prices are usually good too, ranging from about $20 to $60 (US).
