Thanks Solange! Gold Shoes Are Having a Moment + 5 Picks For Fall | La:Dolce:Vita Fashion Fix

The gilded age is back — for fall at least. Newly minted “it-girl” of the industry, Solange Knowles took her seat at the Samantha Black Spring 2012 fashion show wearing a fun painterly silk shirt dress and heavy gold shoes. Would it be fair to assume that these were plucked out of the 25 birthday pair gifted to her by big sis Beyonce? We’ll probably never know. What I do know is that Solange is making a huge fall statement. Get into gold! Not mild and understated pewter or bronze–but loud, obnoxious, old gold. I love the way she paired them with an easy breezy dress. You can command the same attention with an all black ensemble allowing the gold shoes to do the talking or do so with a heavy hued maxi skirt, crop top, and moto jacket.

Choose any of these 5 picks below to get you started on your fall “goldrobe”.
