LUCITE HEELS

Lucite and clear vinyl are the latest and hottest trends in shoes and accessories. I love lucite because it instantly adds futuristic and edgy accents to any look. Plus, when your shoes or bag are completely see-through, it adds a whole new level to the phrase, “What you see you is what you get”. You have to love transparency, right?

On top of that, I can almost guarantee you that no one else will be experimenting with this velvet trend just yet, so you will definitely be ahead of the pack.
