Ankle Detailed Shoes

One of summer's biggest (and trickiest) trends has been shoes with bold detail at the ankles. Be forewarned that mismanagement of this trend will shorten your legs and give you cankles. It looks best with a relatively unadventurous outfit so the focus can rest with your feet. Even so, short me loves this trend. I love the feel of an ankle strap or cuff, and crazy shoes never distract other people at work (some of my clothing has garnered that complaint).Top: grey laced-up cuff pump, Linea Paolo "Vie" at Nordstrom $129.95
