Carven Paillette Ankle Boot: Paisley Power

I think Liberace would rise from the dead just to get his hands on these (creepy but you know what I mean)! These chunky boots (at Barneys New York for $1,235) are absolute fabulousness with a capital F. Carven can always be relied on for fun designs. Sequined paisley platforms would never unnoticed, and I mean the ENTIRE shoe is covered. But that doesn’t mean it has to be cheesy. Keep it simple with a tailored metallic silver dress like this Sass & Bide (on Net-a-Porter for $550) or a fitted pair of Todd Lynn gray trousers (on Net-a-Porter for $995). The secret is steering clear of loose fits – otherwise you’ll look like a bell-bottomed hippie from the sixties (aka outdated). If you’re feeling unsure, you can never go wrong throwing on your favorite jeans!
