I think every woman should have a few essential items in her closet. This week every night I'll post one item I think is essential. This ain't your momma's list y'all. OK, well my mom and I chatted and her list was pretty close to mine but I have an especially up to date mom. ;) With that said, here we go!
Tonight my first item starts where many outfits begin, the shoes! I've built many an outfit around a great pair of shoes. I think a key pair is the nude heel....Whatever "Nude" means for your skin tone. If you're going with just one pair, go with a classic shape but I am pretty over the moon for the variations you typically see in other colors as well. Check out the shopping section below to get a good range of nude heel options!

Often these "every woman should have" lists say the essential shoe should be a black heel patent if you're going wild. And while I absolutely think a great black high heel is a quality addition to every closet, I think I'm safe in saying that many women by this point have this item. I've been surprised to find, however, that SO many women don't have a nude shoe.
The benefits of a great nude heel are pretty overwhelming.
1. Unless you're going wild with the sunless tanner...don't go wild with the sunless tanner.....your skin tone will stay the same (even within a few shades) so the heels will work their magic no matter what.
2. Men love legs. This is not rocket science. Women's legs have an innate sex appeal because they're feminine in a way that men's just aren't. They're one part of the body that don't age and always look womanly and beautiful. Therefore, a nude heel drawing attention to them? Obviously a good thing. Sexy legs.....
(image: illustrating a point, legs for days! super hot. also, for male audience viewing pleasure. list continues below.)
3. They make your legs look miles long. Slimming? Yes. Attention grabbing? Yes. Ask Gisele how having incredibly to-die-for long legs is working out for her, and I'm pretty sure she's not going to complain. Those of us not in that same supermodel boat can certainly fake it with a great pair of flattering 5 inch heels!
4. They're classic. I think it's safe to say neutrals that go with a vast majority of items in your closet (at least, the things in your closet that also have any longevity). If you find a great pair, take care of them and they will certainly last seasons and trends.
5. I think I've made my case.
OK babies, that's my first item for you! Check out the photo inspiration from celebs on the red carpet and on the go after the break. Be sure to check out the blog every night this week for a new item I think is essential for every fashionista!
LOVE you lovers....
