I’m not sure exactly when clear heels pulled the reverse Pretty Woman (the transition from Cinderella to strip tease) but celebs have finally taken pity.
Blogger Shoebunny just spotted Claudia Schiffer in clear plexi sandals from Stella McCartney’s Spring 2009 collection. And they look cute. Truly.
Still unsure, I checked out the forum ModelMayhem where many a fun-loving model confessed to a love of barely-there heels.
The final straw⎯ShoeSmitten. She posted a sweet little pair of clear Mootsie Tootsies for summer.
So if you’ve been secretly wondering what it would be like to step out in something very, very see-through, now is the time. I suggest going the less expensive eBay route though, because this trend’s staying power is anything but transparent.
My picks:
Ease in with these blue peep toes from affordably chic eBay store Shop for Phree. They have a blue-to-clear gradient heel.
Lucite wedge mules by Nine West look perfectly polished.
Vintage Stuart Weitzman are definitely Cinderella-worthy.
Silver studs take these jelly heels from sweet to cool.
Green piping makes these wedges from Grandma Sofia’s Boutique summerlicious.
And my oh what the hell pick, big old platforms from My Shoe Addiction.
