Hot Fall Trend: Ruffled Shoes

One of the hottest trends for fall is shoes adorned with ruffles. Cascading tiers of ruffles, ruffled edging, ruffles along the vamp, the heel, oh, let's face it, they went crazy and ruffles are everywhere!

It's nice to add a little feminine touch to a severe suit. If you're feeling a little flirty one day, you can let your shoes do the talking, even in jeans.

Ruffles comes in all price points The super cute flat is from Target ($24.99). The grey pump is Liliana from Hush Puppies ($95), and you can find it at Macy's. The sexy maroon pump with the velvet ruched bow is Christian Louboutin- The Lady Page Velvet- Bow Pump ($995) at Neiman's, natch! Love that sexy purple pump? It goes by the name of Koture Ruffled Peep-Toe by Fioni ($24.99) at Payless. The itty bitty bootie is Cuddles by Steve Madden ($149) at Lord & Taylor. The sexy ivory stitched down ruffled bootie is from Pour La Victoire ($285), presently living at Piperlime.com, and the sexy D'orsay pump known as Risky ($365)from Elizabeth and James, lives there too.

So you can see, no matter what your budget is, there's a ruffled shoe just for you.

Will you wear a ruffled shoe, or won't you? Do you like the trend?
