When I first spotted this dress at Anthropologie, I immediately began to imagine how many different ways I could wear this dress during the fall. I pictured myself wearing this dress with over the knee boots, a cropped sweater or a jeweled belt. Much to my surprise, this was actually a great dress to add to my work wardrobe. The conservative, yet trendy pattern looked great with nude pumps. The grey tote gave this outfit a casual look.  However, a structured bag can give this outfit a more professional appeal.

Back to these DvF heels...

Lately, I've found myself wearing these nude heels with almost every outfit I own. Especially when I wear midi skirts or dresses. These nude pointed toe heels make me look taller, which I absolutely love! If I were to only own one pair of shoes, these are the shoes I'd own.

Here are a few tricks on how to look taller with nude pointed-toe heels:
1. Opt for heels closest to your complexion. It makes your legs look longer and slimmer. Check out this great post from Yael Steren, on why nude heels are a "must have".
2. Wear pointed toe heels over rounded toe or ankle strapped heels. The point in the heels make your feet look longer, thus making your legs look taller.

Here are a few more tips from WhoWhatWear and StyleCaster on ways to appear taller.

Hope you enjoyed the post and see you back on Friday!
