That's the way it usually is, isn't it, ediewarhol? I often times take note of the shoes first. It really depends on what I see first. Often times, it's clothes. I guess I have a habit of always wondering what footwear a lady is wearing. I sometimes see a great combination put together, but foiled from a poor choice of shoes. I've always liked pumps, flat slip-ons (like ballet flats), sandals, and boots. I usually compliment shoes most since I feel anyone (let alone a femme) can make or break a look with a pair of shoes. I mentioned in the "Trends We Love" thread that I kind of liked pairing an office/formal-style outfit with sneakers. Like if a femme had a black blouse, khaki flared stretch pants or dress pants, and black sneakers (like a pair of Skechers Grand Jamz with natural-colored accents), then the look is just fine. I've seen T-Shirt + jeans + stylish pumps. Those work very well as well. I've even liked gaucho pants, cropped pants, and knee-length skirts paired with some tall boots. Again, works very well.
All I'm saying is that you tend to follow clothes more than accessories (including shoes). Every lady (I use this loosely) has a unique style to them whether a fashionista or a tomboy. A handbag or purse seems more of a personality item than shoes, though you can make the case for either side. Shoes overtakes handbags as must-have fashion items, but SHOULD they be noted as the hotter item?
I wish good clothes would become a trend rather than having the focus on shoes and bags all the time.
