Magnificent Manolos

There are some things in life that tell you that you've become a successful woman, and one of those is buying your first pair of high-end designer shoes. Mine are a pair of pointed-toe cork Manolo Blahniks with paint splatter detailing... and I love them. I love them so much. They're, quite possibly, my favorite shoes in my collection. They tell me that I can now be fiscally responsible AND splurge.

I know, it's a lot of pressure for one shoe.

Top: Express. Bottoms: Anthropologie. Bag: Macy's (similar). Shoes: Manolo Blahnik (also love these).

I wanted the shoe to be the highlight of this outfit, so slimming cuts in neutral colors were the requirements of this look. After all, when you're wearing a #GirlBoss shoe, they have to be the stars.
