With just two months remaining for warm weather dressing in Chicago, here’s the perfect look to try before the first snowflakes hit the sidewalks.
Take a page from Vogue-regular Lily Kwong’s style book (those are her fantastic Jason Wu shoes) and rock open-toed leather ankle boots with a vixen red pedicure. It might be the most classic combination, but voilà – you’ve added a dash of major sex appeal to any look. Red toenails and black leather heels bring a universal ‘oomph’ to every outfit, whether you’ve gone everyday casual with boyfriend jeans, or dressed to stun in a siren red dress (also Jason Wu) à la Ms. Kwong.
If you’re looking for polish suggestions, these are the reds in my manicure rotation:
1.Essie, Fishnet Stockings – $8.50
2. Deborah Lippmann, Lady is a Tramp – $16.99
3. O.P.I., An Affair in Red Square – $7.59
