In the Nude

My search for nude shoes for women of color has ended!

Nude shoes are awesome.  Made to create the illusion of an elongated leg, a nude shoe can be worn in all seasons with almost any outfit in your wardrobe.  But after a few years of being really frustrated by the lack of options in nude shoes for brown girls, I knew that I had to speak out about this ongoing problem.  Everything I found was either frumpy or just not the right nude for my caramel skin tone.

Just when I was prepared to blog at length about this topic, I happened to come across an open ended question on my favorite beauty and fashion site, Refinery29 (refinery29.com):  "What are you biggest fashion questions?"  I immediately knew this was my opportunity to ask the question that brown girls all over the world wanted to know--where are all the nude shoes for us?  Much to my pleasant surprise, my question was featured in their article "12 of Your Shopping Questions, Answered."

Check it out for yourself, and breathe easy knowing that someone out there is thinking about us brown girls and our right to nudity.
