the Red Shoes





"And all the people inside looked at Karen’s red shoes, and all the figures gazed at them; when Karen knelt before the altar and put the golden goblet to her mouth, she thought only of the red shoes. "
- Hans Christian Andersen, The Red Shoes






 These photos were gathered from various sources in the bloggersphere. Note the common theme: the delicious bright pop of red at their feet. Red shoes add so much to an outfit, and expresses the lively nature of the wearer. Irrepressible, red shoes are. Come, dance with me-

I have a thing for red shoes, though I rarely wear them myself. There's just something incredible cute about them, especially if they're worn with capes and leggings :D
