Let’s face it: I’ve been called everything from a footwear fanatic to a
shoe sensation, just depending on the audience. I have an entire closet
filled with shoes of every name brand and style, but the ones that get
the extra special attention in their own storage boxes and shelves are
my BCBG shoes. There has yet to be a BCBG shoe that hasn’t attracted my
attention (or my credit card), so it’s no wonder that I consider myself
BCBG’s biggest fan. Yes, their clothing is fantastic, but their
footwear is truly divine. Consider this my own sonnet to BCBG shoes as
I count the ways in which I give them my undivided love:
Reason #1: The Style. BCBG shoes have Style with a capital “S.” From
summer’s strappy sandals to winters chunky boots, BCBG makes them all
in every imaginable look. I love the fresh, trendy style of BCBG
because it walks the fine line between stylish trendsetter and classic
diva. These shoes are not yesterday’s news and will certainly not leave
you to be disappointed by the next season’s about face in the style
market. Although this is not a fact that I like to advertise (what girl
doesn’t want to keep up the appearance of completing changing their
wardrobe each season), I have three pairs of BCBG shoes that have
lasted me longer than I would like to admit. They are my eternal
favorites and I have received more complements on each pair during each
season than I can remember.
Reason #2: The Fit. I’m convinced that shoes are like men. Some are
gorgeous head turners that look like a million bucks but will treat you
horribly while others are the complete package. Think of BCBG shoes
like your prince charming. They can woo any girl off her feet, but
leave her tootsies feeling fantastic without the typical pinching and
pain associated with high fashion shoes. In addition to have an actual
sole (and a soul, but that’s a different story completely), BCBG shoes
include padding and comfort features that are simply unheard of in
other stylish brands of shoes.
Reason #3: The Price. Although it took me a couple of years to realize
my parent’s were right about money not growing on trees, I’m becoming
of the budget minded. When it comes down to the choice between eating
for the next month or buying that killer design mini dress, I choose to
eat (well, at least most of the time), so BCBG shoes are still well
within my means. That does not mean they are cheap by any leap of the
imagination, because Mom did say “you get what you pay for,” but
they’re a far cry from those budget busting stilettos sold by Other
designer brands.
Reason #4: The Choices. Okay, so this one is in my love/hate list, but
BCBG has yet to offer a shoe that hasn’t made me drool (which is the
reason why I bring a crisply starched hankie with me while shoe
shopping). Each season produces several options that are gorgeous and
beautiful and will make you completely envious of anyone who has enough
cash to plunk down on the entire collection. Usually the “something for
everyone” line is hugely cliché and generally associated with ugly
things that people are trying to make marketable, but in this case,
it’s true! Go ahead, try not to fall in love with these shoes…I dare
you!
I could keep waxing poetic about BCBG shoes all day, but I find myself
getting the urge to shop. In all seriousness, these shoes have the
whole kit and caboodle wrapped up in a gorgeous package (plus they’re
boxes don’t look all that bad either).
