Keeping your toes warm during the winter months is important, but sometimes it's hard to resist strappy stilettos. Personally, I can't wear close-toed shoes for very long because I want my pedicured toes to come out of hiding and catch some fresh air. Nevertheless, if you are going to risk getting cold feet, then you might as well make a grand appearance with some sexy open-toed strappy shoes. Nothing is more exhilarating then showing off some skin after covering it up for a long period of time. So, when the opportunity arises, expose your feet and make an impression.
Since glitz and sparkles are always in for Fall and Winter, why pass on the Badgley Mischkas? Golden, glitzy colors are spectacular during the colder months because their brightness still shines through the darkest winter days. The Badgley Mischka Junebug strappy sandals are a knockout. Hello sexy, and goodbye frumpy girl. This sparkly pair of strappy stilettos matches any outfit perfectly. Contrary to popular belief, this pair will be timeless because you can wear them whenever you feel glamorous. Don't forget to paint your toes red or plum.

If you want height, but don't think the Badgley Mischka will to get the job done, then consider Sergio Rossi strappy ladders. I like this pair because of the simple and classic color scheme. You can wear these with most of your wardrobe, but their height makes it less wearable with your work clothes.

The next pair is crazy and sexy. The strappy Tassel Sandals are wild and definitely remind me of shoes Heidi Klum would wear during Victoria's Secret fashion shows. You would wear this pair to a specific holiday party, or a New Years Eve party. Unfortunately, as seductive as they are, you can't wear them too often because they make a striking first impression. However, they are definitely worth the purchase because shoes always make the outfit. Trust me, these shoes will make your night.
