"I&amp;#x27;ll admit, I&amp;#x27;ve found the pointy-toe shoe trend kinda intimidating. I&amp;#x27;m afraid I&amp;#x27;ll look like a witch or worse, like I still haven&amp;#x27;t retired my pair from when they were in style the first time, about six years ago. But I recently saw Katie Holmes in a perfect pair, and I&amp;#x27;m feeling newly inspired to try them out. Here she is at the SAG awards in a Jil Sander shift dress and a pair of pointy-toe pumps from Stuart Weitzman. Doesn&amp;#x27;t she just look like such a grown up? I think the reward of wearing this trend is the sophisticated message it sends--a woman who wears these is in touch with her femininity, obsessed with elegance, and a pro at walking in high heels (with confidence!). What I really love about this look is how it makes her legs look about a mile long. There are three simple lessons to be learned from her look: 1.) Try nude. You guys already know that one of my favorite tricks for faking long legs is wearing flesh-colored shoes, and I think Katie proves why it works here. 2.) Keep your legs bare. Textured or colored tights would be way too distracting with this look--let the pumps do their job of making your legs look great and keep the focus there. 3.) Go for a simple dress. Again, this shift doesn&amp;#x27;t distract my eye away from the legs and shoes too much. A miniskirt, any kind of lace or texture, or a more severe kind of tailoring would push this into that &amp;quot;witchy&amp;quot; territory I was so afraid of. Shop a few of our favorite pointy-toe pumps now: What do you guys think? Have you tried out the pointy-toe pump trend yet? What do you wear yours with? And if you haven&amp;#x27;t, will you? Do you like the way Katie wears them? Photo: WireImage"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
