Following yesterday's post on affordable holiday

dresses

(in the first installment of my three-part series), I've rounded up six pairs of shoes that won't break the bank. Whether you're attending a ritzy ball or a casual cocktail party, these have just the right amount of detailing to put a skip in your step.

T-Strap

: Chinese Laundry

All In

, $70. The three muted colors merge seamlessly on these festive sandals.

Preppy

: Seychelles

On The Wire

, $100. I love the idea of pairing these sexy-librarian-meets-Bohemian-Goddess pumps with some super opaque tights.

Muted Gold

: Nina

Undine

, $99. These shoes have just the right amount of glitz, without being overdone in an amazingly flattering shape.

Edgy

: TopShop

Studded Peep Toe

, $125. These rocker booties would be the perfect complement to a feminine dress.

Patent Pump

: Mia

Diva

, $55. In this deep wine hue, these patent pumps will make legs look miles long.

Strappy Silver

: Enzo Angiolini

Holling Evening Sandal

, $98. I'd paint my toes in a bright red polish before throwing on these sexy sandals. Coming tomorrow: Accessories
