Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Cut-Out Sandal Shooties and Booties

This Spring shooties and booties are sticking around, but look for them in softer neutral colors during the warmer months. Another variation of the shootie that appeared frequently on the SS2010 fashion runways is a cut-out sandal-like version (Above: Fendi; Nicholas Kirkwood; Pierre Hardy; Trussardi 1911). The styles above are so amazing but they are likely a bit too bold for the average C-bus woman. Below are some cut-out sandal shooties for you to consider if you are interested in giving this trend a shot: Jessica Simpson cut-out shootie for $88.95 available on www.nordstrom.com; Naughty Monkey "Parade" cut-out shootie for $79.95 available on www.nordstrom.com; Jeffrey Campbell "Rally" cut-out shootie for $164.95 available on www.nordstrom.com; BCBG zip-front cut-out shootie for $225 available on www.bcbg.com; N.Y.L.A. "Lacerta" cut-out shootie for $111 available on www.revolveclothing.com; Animal print cut-out shootie for $34.99 available on www.charlotterusse.com; Anne Michelle "Gilly" cut-out shootie for $33 available on www.lulus.com; Linea Paolo "Jacinda" cut-out shootie for $129.95 available on www.nordstrom.com; Stuart Weitzman "Saxony"cut-out shootie for $365 available on www.bloomingdales.com; MICHAEL Michael Kors "Pembroke"cut-out shootie for $145 available on www.bloomingdales.com; Calvin Klein "Donna" cut-out shootie for $145 available on www.bloomingdales.com.
If you are looking for a shoe that is a bit taller than a shootie, consider the cut-out bootie, which was also very prominent on the SS2010 runways (Below: Sergio Rossi; Jimmy Choo; Alejandro Ingelmo; Thakoon).

Again, while visually stunning, the above cut-out sandal booties are probably a bit too much for the average woman.
