Clunky Shoe Couture

The Chrissie Morris Autumn/Winter Collection is Super Sturdy

— October 13, 2009 — Fashion
Forget about dainty stilettos and delicate details. Shoes are the accessory that continue to be the most relevant in today's fashion world and traditionally sleek ones are not being seen on the feet of trendy fashionistas. Instead, designer collections like the Chrissie Morris Autumn/Winter shoes are both bulky and clunky.

Finally sturdy-looking shoes like Chrissie Morris' Autumn/Winter Collection are beating out stick-thin heels that are impossible to walk in. Hallelujah!
