Nothing grabs my attention like beautiful shoes or a unique handbag. Either accessory can take an outfit from boring to impressive instantly. You could be wearing the simplest of outfits, like jeans and a white T-shirt, but add a standout bag or printed boots, and suddenly, your look is statement-making.
It's for this reason that when scrolling through Instagram or shopping online, it's always the chic shoes and fancy handbags that stop me dead in my tracks. From the knee-high animal-print boots I can't stop thinking about to the feathered handbag I've already saved three times on Instagram, below, I'm highlighting the 16 cool shoes and handbags that made me do a double-take.
SHOES
New Year's Eve, anyone?
Animal print is all I can think about right now, and I love the black detail at the top.
These would look so chic with trousers.
This color!
Zebra print is so popular right now.
Another solid NYE contender.
Between the shape and the print, I can't decide what I like most.
These are just so badass.
BAGS
Confession: I already got this one. I couldn't help myself.
Consider your holiday party bag found.
Grandma, but in a cool way.
This would give your everyday outfits a chic twist.
Hello, party bag!
Can you tell I'm into animal prints right now?
Just add an LBD, and your night-out look is set.
This has holiday party season written all over it.
