Fashionistas, read on

Ladies, here is a fashion tip to take you into the new year and beyond. It isn't every girl who has the wherewithall to buy a new pair of shoes each week. However, wouldn't we all like to have a fresh look as often? Afterall, noone wants to be seen in the same clothes two days in a row and our shoes/boots should be no exception. So what are we getting at? Jewelry...or rather shewelry. There's actually a site by that name, shewelry.com that sells accessories for your shoes. Feeling like a naughty girl today? Try the chain photographed here. They've also got jewelry for the rich girl, royal girl, spice girl, and more. So, mix it up a little.

On a similar note, why wait for your order to come in from shewelry when you have the means to "kick" those boots up a notch, right in your closet? Got a long scarf? Wrap it several times (or however many times it will go) around your right or left boot (political commentary?) and pin or tie it elegantly together in the back. Voila, a hot new look for your boots...people will be asking you where you got them from. You can, of course, do the same thing with any long necklace you might have on hand (and Phillipa says she also wears her long ones as anklets every summer), by wrapping it once or twice around the ankle of your boot and fastening it. This turns out to be a great way to use that old costume jewelry Grannie had in a chest in the attic. You may not have occassion to wear long chains of faux pearls everyday, but they might just look fabulous with your tall black sweater boots.
