Starting With Your Shoes: Winter Footwea...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Winter footwear got you stumped? This week, Leigh's joined by creative director Erin Kadwood, who's bringing her 15+ years of styling expertise to solve our seasonal shoe struggles once and for all. From navigating those tricky hemlines that never seem quite right to building a capsule footwear collection that actually earns its wardrobe space, Erin's got the answers.

She explains why flipping your getting-ready routine and starting from the shoes up is a total game-changer, plus she lets us in on her genius tailoring hack that makes your trousers work seamlessly with both sneakers and heels—no more choosing between comfort and style, or committing to just one shoe height when you get pants hemmed.

Mamamia studios are styled with furniture from Fenton and Fenton visit www.fentonandfenton.com.au

Leigh's Budget: Nine West Mailin Pumps $189.95

Erin's Budget: Raboesy Adjustable Strap Tabi Mary Janes $68
