Colour in Shoes

A footnote may change the whole meaning of a sentence, and footwear may alter a whole ensemble. Shoes, gloves and a hatband may aU match, and if they are of carrot suede worn with a navy frock they cause tha. aarment to lose its sombre expression completely, and give it a touch of life, states the Sydney Morning Herald. _ Bright brown calf is a surprising choice with a grey sports outfit, but it is none the less effective. A deep shade of burgundy will also transfoim gre\, and the colour accent should be repeated iu gloves or hat. In the same way, rust and yellow are good companions, and, of course, yellow and white afford a complete change. Floral materials offer all sorts of interesting possibilities with shoes. Sandals may be of the basic dark colour, and toeless, worn with tho new sandalwood stockings. There may Tie henna flowers on the frock, so that henna pumps seem iudieatcd, and immediately the whole effect of the frock is henna more than anything else. Green is to be found on most floral designs, and if there is a touch of green in the hat there is nothing cooler in appearance than green gloves or shoes. With white linen suits, the possibilities are infinite. Blouses and shoes should match, or with a red blouse you can wear navy and white shoes, navy gloves and a navy hat for tho tri-colour effect.

The character of a dinner dress of black organza is completely changed with gay floral shoes with a good deal of scarlet ia the design.

For a quieter occasion it is equally transformed by fuchsia shaded sandals, and a floating scarf or sash of the same colour.

Wear a posy of violets on the shoulder of a chiffon frock, and match at with high-heeled but tocless sandals, and you will have quite a different effect to the night you don jade slippers with a circular strap and wear a corsage posy of green orchids.
