FLIP FLOPS

There was a said that happy footwear equals happy feet. Having the look of ready-to-go, flip flops indeed make one's way smooth on a casual day. They are a type of open-toed footwear quite identical to sandal, but the sole can be more flatter and their forever signature are those Y-shaped commonly rubber strap that passes between the first and second toes and around both sides of the foot. Wearing flip flops is a compliment to your whole OOTD if you are going to the beach, especially and I think that's what flip flops are more suitable for. Nevertheless if you think you probably not gonna give so much on your look while going out for a light strolling, this type of footwear should also come into your first pick! Pair them up with a sling bag, long white dress and a floppy hat and look amazing even on your lazy day!

SANDALS

A sister to flip flops as they are similarly open-toed and all, the only contrast is the sole held to the wearer's foot by strap passing over instep and sometimes bracing around the ankle. Some sandals can also have a heel depends on the design. Another ready-to-go type of footwear which you can wear all day long without hurting your toes and heels, andd...a shoes of savior for those "cynophobias" whenever they accidentally run into dogs lol! There's no rules of what you can't wear with sandals on your casual day, be it with jeans, shorts or even with a short loose dresses they can still look inspiring!

FLATS

They are called as mom’s best friend because you can actually wear them with almost anything from jeans to skirts, shorts and even dresses wherever you go looking put together and feminine. Flats are also considered as one of the best shoes every working woman could have in their wardrobe as they are a great option to be worn comfortably to work especially when your feet need a rest from wearing high heels. Wearing a pair of trendy flats can still make you look professional and put together. They are definitely a must-have in every woman’s closet at home and in fact, girls in Japan always bring a pair of flats in their bag whenever they go out thus at the middle of the day when their feet are burning from the walking they will change their heels to flats. Now I see why they always wear a bulky handbag, but of course the trendy one!

A woman would never turn her back on a pair of classic black pumps. They are considered as the most versatile shoes in the world a woman could have. A pair of stylish black pumps can go with almost everything, plus they are also in for a casual wear and what not! Your femininity will be doubted if you never own a pair of heels lol! Why only pointed out a black pumps all the time? Of course not! you can always opt for a nude pumps as well if you like and likewise, they will go just nice with everything!

BOOTS

From the year of 2012 when the K-wave started to hit worldwide, I saw a lot more Malaysian made a stylish OOTD with booties on! (what an impact huh?)  to cut it short, boots have always being part of Hollywood's staple fashion from the high knee cut to the ankle boots since 10 years back but as the fashion observant I never really notice that people are affected that much by Hollywood's fashion trends on 10 years ago. Blimeyyy to even look for a pair of booties on net for an online shopping was a tough nut to crack I kid you not! Oppositely today they are "bersepah" on the local website offering a wide range of choices and getting a pair of them is a piece of cake in no time! Fashion boots comes in so many types more than you can imagine, the one with platform sole (the one that I own the most!), ankle boots, knee boots and wayy more!

So should I say thanks to the K-wave for bringing in a cool footwear to paint more colors into our fashion industry? lol! Another reason of why most girls are obsessed with K-dramas, besides having the handsome oppas the onnies' flawless skin and stylish outfits are something worth to be focused on too for our fashion reference later hehe! Anyway nowadays the fashion trends has turned into a complex from where we girls just "bantai" everything as long as the mix and match looks perfect without really bother from where those particular fashion trends have landed from as more and more people are urbanized and they can do an inspiring mix and match for their own fashion taste and preference! Go all trendy and look up to date by pairing up a pair of boots with jeans, loose top or with outerwears, a sunnies is always an extra compliment!

WEDGES

The only shoe type that makes my tummy goes growling just because it reminds me of my favorite snack, cheesy wedges wtf lol! Wedgies are those type of footwear with the heel and sole connected together as they serves as the base and they are common to have the sole more thicker at the back than at the front, making them a high-heeled shoes. The middle part of the sole that connects the heel and front sole (called shank for the arch support) built more taper and if one lack of balance wearing a very high wedgies can be quite dangerous as it can often twist your ankle (been there a lot of times, sobs that's why wedgies are just not for a clumsy girl like me most of the time, the one with average height is ok though) Skirts or dresses, both can rock the wedgies just awesome! 

Recommendation:

SLIP ON SNEAKERS

Nothing can beat the outgoing feelings while wearing the slip ons. Love sneakers but hate to tie up the lace? Slip ons is hereeee lol! the name itself is self-explanatory and on top of all they are very comfortable to wear all day long! I call them the "amp-up typed shoes" for walking or travelling, around the city or wherever you go of course! They covers your whole foot just like sneakers does, entirely safe for a soft hiking (as well as fashion) and it's less hassle wearing them because you just need to slip them on to your feet without requiring a proper sit to tie anything up! Available in many designs and patterns and your only job is to choose the one that clicks you! I've seen a lot of Japanese wore slip ons with sweat tees and baggy pants and they look trendiest ever! I need a pair of slip ons too now OMG stop me! *pls no* LOL

You will be amazed that you can actually wear them all day long feeling comfortable without pinching your feet. A fun patterned or colorful pair would be great to be paired with almost anything like jeans, leggings, shorts and even casual dresses you already have in your closet, go mix and match girlsss hehe!
