Party shoes that you can actually dance in
Sartorially speaking, there isn't much more gratifying than buying a new pair of party shoes.
Even for those who aren't big on the glitz that goes with party season, decorative or sparkly new heels and flats will nod to festive jolliness without going overboard. Christmas is a time for making merry and we want to dance like it's 1999, and bust out moves more impressive than Mick Jagger and Prince combined.
We need jazzy shoes that we can dance in until the small hours, that won't confine us to seating areas with the office bore or any pervy family 'friends'. And, as women of the 21st Century, we believe this is our birth right. We're talking sparkly flats, velvet shoe slippers, block heels and attention-seeking boots.
