How to Wear Gladiator Sandals

Love the new gladiator sandals...totally hot for summer...but unsure how to wear them? Simple is best with these detailed cuties. You want to let the sandals shine. Pair them with a simple sheath or mini-dress, or perhaps a simple A-line skirt, and you're good to go. (Pants will compete.) Keep accessories to a minimum...choose pearl studs and a pearl pendant or a few gold bangles. You don't want to overdo more than one trend at a time.

Trendy Color to Wear Now

Rich rusts are in for fall...good news for most women, who can wear the color with ease. To get the look, try a head to toe ensemble in apricot or curry...think a vivid orange dress or skinny jeans and a turtleneck, or add a hint of spice with an orange suede belt or apricot patent leather bag.

Orange not your thing? Try a splash of sass with carnelian jewelry, like these oversize hoops from MoonRiverPearls.com. Or go to my other favorite site, Zappos.com, and pick up some cute orange ankle booties.
