women dress shoesYou know, it’s hard out here for a butterscotch-colored chick. After my favorite flats bit the dust -- the patent leather ones that exactly matched my skintone and went with everything -- I went searching for a replacement pair that would make my feet just as comfy and match my shade just as well.women dress shoesFashion has heralded the idea of the “nude” shoe for years, and for good reason: A good flesh-toned shoe is your utility player, an all-around neutral that will match with anything in your closet effortlessly.

WORRRRRK! ” and shared with friends.women dress shoesIt’s a great concept -- Louboutin offers his most classic styles in a nude for every girl, five shades in all. They even launched an app to help you pick your perfect hue. And with a range that spans from the lightest of ivory to a deep chestnut, Louboutin is one of the first high-end brands to offer products specifically embracing fashionistas of all colors.
