I frequently get questions asking: "Claire, how do I wear these shoes?"
Most of the times, the shoes are some wild card, crazy purchase that the buyer just had to have...before they realized they didn't have anything to wear with them.
The answer all the time is very simple: If you purchased a pair of hard to match shoes, wear them with a neutral, run of the mill outfit. Make the shoes the exclamation point to a subdued ensemble.
Take a fashion cue from Beyonce who wore her red Christian Louboutin slingbacks with a gray t-shirt and jeans, Tracee Ellis Ross who paired her purple Miu Miu platforms with a neutral dress, or Rihanna who added a pop of orange to an all black ensemble.
