Twisted

During a mad search to find a pair of raffia platform sandals that you will probably hear me raving about in a later post, I came across a very interesting, creative, yet wearable trend.  Usually, in fashion, you often find that the most creative and artistic designs are not things most of us would wear (take, for example the Balenciaga shoes for fall 2010 that one of us adores).  This one, however, is interesting, eye-catching, distinctive and unique, but I can actually see the average women wearing it on the street.  Plus, the mostly closed vamp is just enough coverage for that transition between summer's heat and winter's frigid temps.  It is also a creative way to add a splash of color to an outfit full of neutrals.  I was able to find the following examples and there are sure to be more.
