Tri-Tone!

Bright colors and detailed prints are great touches to enhance good design, but every once and while a designer gets color happy and there are far too many colors or a bad color combination. Luckily, while wandering the mall with some friends, I found this great pair of tri-tone pumps at Aldo! 
Aldo's Froyare has a lovely combination of light and dark grey, accented with a muted purple, looks wonderful on this fairly simple pump design with a great hidden platform. The lines are clean, eye-catching, and are very well defined. The simplicity of the hardware adds to the basic style of the shoe, also making the color the most important element.

The same style comes in a navy and purple, with a light grey embellishment, which would work great as a night shoe, but I think the grey version works better as an all around shoe. It could be paired with a pair of well-lined black pants for work or with a dress for a night on the town. These colors are also nice, because they allow for the shoe to be the accent piece to the outfit or slip into the background. Unfortunately they did not have my size, otherwise these would've been added to my collection!
