Chunk change

Blame it on Sex and the City but women these days just can’t have enough shoes. I learned to walk on heels when I was 20. True story. So imagine my delight when my feet suddenly had a thousand options to choose from. After 10 years, I realized I’m a true-blue pump girl.

However, with the proliferation of dainty little neutral numbers, I fear that my pump will look too working girl to actually work these outfits. I have now discovered the chunky shoe. From hardy cousins of the gladiators to newly revived clogs (thanks, Chanel), let these unusual suspects stomp boredom out of your closet.

Remember: they are best paired with simple dresses. Let the contrast be its beauty. If you choose to live dangerously, you can go from working girl to street walker. Here are some hot choices without the haute prices. Enjoy the chunky shoe and treat it with respect.
