Q. &amp;quot;I have an aversion to pumps and loafers, but I need some flat shoes to wear with dresses that aren&amp;#039;t boots or brogues. In summer I&amp;#039;m fine with sandals but these in-between season months I&amp;#039;m stumped... I&amp;#039;m on a budget too. HELP!&amp;quot; A. Ok, so you don&amp;#039;t love brogues, but how about these pretty Next cutwork detail babies in soft grey? As gorgeous with dresses as they are with trousers and a far cry from the heavy brogues you don&amp;#039;t like. Alternatively, these softly structured perforated Topshop lace ups, are great for comfy day and work wear.  Another footwear style worth a look in is the &amp;#039;two-part&amp;#039; flat \u2013 not your run of the mill flat pump, and more on trend with a pointier toe.  From left to right, Dune, Office. Laser cut details, perforation and prints are a-plenty in the flat shoe department this spring...so maybe try these New Look, Dune, Schuh and Topshop pairs on for size...   Psst!

Q. &amp;quot;I am always looking for shoes that make big feet (we&amp;#039;re talking size 8+) look dainty and sexy&amp;quot;. A. While high heels may not be as good for your feet or body, they will make your feet look smaller. Chunky heels and wedges usually accomplish this better than stiletto heels, and they&amp;#039;re typically much easier to wear.  Other tips; opt for rounded toe styles as opposed to elongating pointy styles. Darker colours ALWAYS have that wonderful shrinking effect (just as with an lbd \u2013 a little black pair of shoes will make your feet look smaller). Strappy sandals that expose a lot of foot tend to make feet look longer \u2013 peep toes, slingbacks are a better way to go and so for a sexier look, whilst striving for dainty... These Kurt Geiger cutaway-side styles are your answer...  If you have any trend traumas, or wardrobe woes, or just want wardrobe tips, \u202A#AskShelly is on hand to help.
