How To Make Your Favorite Footwear Look Great With Boot Bling And Other Footwear Accessories

By Tammie Caldwell


Shoes can be expensive. While it can be tempting to purchase a new pair of shoes every time you have an event to go to, this can quickly break the bank. By choosing to add items such as shoe and boot bling to your wardrobe, it may make it easier for you to dress up existing shoes and give them more versatility. Here is what you need to know when shopping for these items.

There are so many different options to choose from that it can be a bit overwhelming. If you make a few basic decisions ahead of time, however, you may find it easier to narrow down your options and find the perfect piece for your needs.

When shopping for your bling, you need to think about the kinds of footwear you wear more often. If you only have one or two pairs of boots, you will want to consider a different style of accessory than if you wear boots most of the time. You should also think about your overall sense of style. Someone who prefers western styles will usually want to choose different options than someone who wants more tailored, formal styles.

Shoes work best with clips since these can be attached to the front. These usually feature a metal clip that has a front which is embellished with different items. You can find clips that are covered with fabric, sequins, crystals and even flowers. They may be too small to clip onto the top of boots but look great on a pair of flats or pumps.

Although you may think that boots will be harder to bling up, this is not actually the case. The high shaft on boots may make it harder to clip items to but they can look wonderful if draped in chains. These can rest at ankle level or even be crossed underneath and wrapped around the foot area of the boot. Larger clips can look good attached to the top of the shaft as well. Just keep in mind whether you will be wearing pants over your boots when picking your bling.

If you know that you will be wearing your bling for a specific occasion, you may be able to choose styles that are more extravagant or elaborate. If you will be going to a wedding, for example, you may want to consider accessories that have more extensive beading or even floral accents. If you want items that can be worn more on a daily basis, you may want to try and look for understated styles that will work with a wider variety of outfits.

One mistake that many people make when adding accessories such as footwear jewelry is to not tone down their wardrobe. This may make it more difficult to look coordinated and well put together. If you choose more understated clothing it will allow people to focus on your footwear and draw their attention exactly where you want it to go.

Once you know what kind of item you are looking for, you can go shopping. These items are more popular than ever at the moment so they should be easy to find. You can locate options in shoe stores as well as in clothing and jewelry stores. Websites such as competewithstyle.com also have great options to choose from. Then you can start accessorizing your footwear and step out in style.
