Try to Ketchup

Are you a fan of red? It's a tough question to answer. Red means so many things. Lipstick red, maroon, cranberry, I could go on for days. So when I ask, I'm going to be specific and today, it's tomato red. A ketchupy, orangey red that is perfect for spring. Let's look at some tomato red sandals.

Express, Suede Double Buckle Sling Back Runway Pump, $79

Oooooo these puppies are ready for the weekend. Dress them down with ripped jeans or try a leather skirt.

Macy's, American Rag Carllie Demi Wedge Sandal, $56

I just love this shade of red. It's punchy and playful.

Nordstrom, Steve Madden Stecy, $79

When you walk in these shoes, walk slowly. Walk with confidence, and prepare for the whistles.

Tomato red is a great shade for spring. It's bright, fun, and takes itself a little less seriously, in the best way possible.
