The Fall Shoe Trend I Will Wear for the Rest of My Life
It’s true. I don’t care how old I am or how much fashion changes: I’ll never be willing to give up wearing crystal-embellished black heels—and I don’t think I’ll have to. Not just because embellished shoes tend to cost a good chunk more than simple styles and I’ll want to get the most bang for my buck. Not just because they’re the perfect accessory for people like me who have simple style but don’t want to look basic. No. It’s because they, thankfully, have major staying power that actually justifies the investment, too.
After all, while the style is particularly trendy right now, when you really look at it, it’s quite classic. In fact, I bet if I paid a quick visit to my mom’s closet, I’d find at least five pairs she’s had for years. Come to think of it, I should definitely do that, but I digress. To see and shop the best crystal-embellished black heels available right now, simply keep reading.
I just bought these and have already worn them so many times since.
