Taryn Rose Interview:
Taryn is busy with exciting things on the horizon outside of Taryn Rose International. However, she was kind enough to take the time to talk to us about tips and trends for shoes this fall.
What trends do you see emerging in shoes this fall?
There’s a dominatrix look that is happening this fall as well as very streamlined covered up booties. I love shoe booties with dark tights for fall since I don’t need to worry about my calves looking fat. So why don’t I just wear pants? Well then I need to worry about my butt looking fat. Besides I love to wear a dress.
What five shoe styles should everyone have in her closet?
A simple black pump, a ballerina flat (I love it in metallic or black patent), a low wedge with an ankle strap for walking, a stiletto for special occasions, a high heel Mary Jane. If you don’t work in a conservative field then you can switch the pump for something that is appropriate for your lifestyle. I have 175 pairs of shoes so I’m probably not the right person to ask about five pairs of shoes.
What trendy style of shoe do you think will carry over a few seasons and is worth splurging on?
The Mary Jane is great whether its trendy or not since it gives extra support. I also like gladiator sandals which are really hot this summer but I think it still has legs for next season. Gladiators for me is a great way to wear flats with an attitude. I’ve always loved peep toes and started designing peep toes long before they were trendy. The shoe bootie is also good to wear into Fall.
Any other tips for accessorizing that you'd like to share?
I don’t like the full matchy matchy look since it looks dated. What is fresher is to use one accessory as a pop or a standout element. Right now I like a bright shoe with a neutral bag or vice versa. Playing with textures and shine is another way to wear a lot of the same color without looking like an Easter parade. For example I wore a green matte satin Oscar De La Renta cocktail dress with a green and gold beaded Fendi bag and simple soft gold shoes. Because I am short I tend to like to wear soft gold or nude shoes to elongate my legs.
