Bring out your continental side

: If you've the impression your clothes rack is looking a bit stale, then a classic party frock may perhaps have the desired effect. At the same time, you've a chance to look beyond the traditional styles with dresses that are just a bit different. You might have in mind a striking slashed design or a ruched effect. Perhaps you're looking to make your mark with vibrant colour mixes and confident sweater dresses. Upbeat, statement-making women's shoes and women's boots are clearly the most appropriate companions in this adventure, especially when you can branch out into looks that take in everything from faux leopardskin to rhinestone-encrusted heels.
