I'm probably preaching to the choir when I sing the praises of The Glamourai, so I'll spare you all the gushing admiration for a lady who rocks some pretty rad outfits, makes her own jewelry and offers poignant takes on fashion as an art form and lifestyle.

One thing I always admire though and the reason for this post, is her knack for pairing her leopard print heels with a lot of her outfits. 

Me? I tend to only don these wild animals from Aldo with black and grey-based frocks, usually for an evening occasion. You know, let the shoes do all the talking for the outfit.

But you only live once and shoes are a shame to waste for only certain cookie-cutter circumstances, right? 

I wore this to meet up with a few friends for dinner, wine and the type of sunshine that only a rooftop patio can provide. On my way out, a fellow diner commented on my interesting shoe pairing.

Interesting? Fine by me.
