Shoe talk with simplysofa from Washington

Q: Why do you love shoes?
A: Shoes are what pulls an outfit all together. If you have the wrong shoes, your outfit is going to look a little off if not completely.

A: Jeffrey Campbell for keeping it realistic.

A: Platforms. Remember back when the Spice Girls walked around in those on stage? Ugh.

Q: What is your most favorite shoe style of all time?
A: The black stiletto. Enough said.
