Photographic Proof That Red Shoes Will Put You In A Good Mood

By Tracey Lomrantz, Glamour magazine

If you're staring at your computer screen right now wondering how the heck to make this Monday seem more survivable, we've got a prescription to put a smile on your face in an instant--red shoes!

Check out this picture of Reese Witherspoon strolling through the streets of Vancouver over the weekend, wearing a fabulous pair of peep-toe cherry red pumps--and a smile that totally lights up the sidewalk. Her navy blue ruffle-front dress is cute enough, but I would have filed this outfit squarely under the "nothing special" category if not for those seriously chic stems!

Not sure how to pull the look off yourself? It's actually quite easy: If you're on the shy side, add red shoes to a neutral outfit, like this navy blue dress, or a pair of gray pants with a crisp white blouse, or an all-black ensemble, like a pencil skirt and crewneck sweater.

If you're feeling a bit more fashion-forward, try out this season's must-have color combo--camel with red! And if you're ready for some serious attention, add scarlet stems to a bright violet or mustard-colored dress. Shop a few red shoes we're loving at every price point now in our very own Glamour closet.

Enough to make you smile as wide as Reese, huh? Don't you dolls think it's impossible to be in a bad mood when you're wearing shoes like these? Do any of you own a pair of red pumps? What do you wear them with? Do they make you giddy every time you put them on? Share!
