So for those of you ladies who don’t know, there is a new/old trend hopping about the streets. YES! The wedge sneaker. Nike has just come out with it’s own version of the cutie-pie-urbified shoe. But my favorite maker of this particular type of shoe is none other than Mr. Jeffrey Campbell. I own a pair of his Venice Hi Wedge Sneakers and they can’t be beat. SO if you happen to venture out and snag yourself a pair, here are some suggestions on how to rock those leather footie frocks.

-DOwear with a fun and flirty skater dress for that “I want to make it look like I don’t give a shit, but I look freakin fierce” look.

-DOrock with a pair of skinny jeans (but not if you can’t fit into a pair of skinny jeans) and a crop top. Finish off the look with a huge high bun and ear cuff for a long, tall, and lean look!

-DO grab a pair in every color/style if you can afford it. ESPECIALLY if you don’t like the typical platform shoe, or stiletto. These sporty numbers are great for walking the busy streets and give your leg the length it wants.

-DON’Tallow your wedges to get dirty. Clean often. Wearing a jacked up pair of wedges is like wearing dirty, trashy heels or sandals with scary, unpedicured, hammertoe feet. Ain’t nobody got time for that. And it will make your outfit suck.

-DON’Twear with flare jeans, booty shorts, or skirt that goes past your knees. You’ll just look like you have some money but don’t know what the hell you’re doing with it (which may be true, but you don’t want the world to know that).

PLEASE DON’T wear the “Bowie Wedge Sneaker” by Ash. I’ve seen many a girl rocking this expensive travesty of a shoe and let me tell you, it looks cheap, shotty, and will make you look physically disabled. It’s the young idiot’s geriatric shoe.

Now, grab yourself a pair and get ready to do some sidewalk stomping!
