Nanette Lepore Lizard-Embossed Sandals

Nanette Lepore's lizard embossed leather ankle strap sandals manage to sit comfortably somewhere between feminine and chunky; providing support without losing girlie appeal. They also have such a tiny peep toe that you could get away with wearing them with tights - good news in a season where opaques are as important an accessory as a handbag. The shoes are $375 at Neiman's. I see them worn with the aforementioned tights (in chocolate brown) and a wrap dress.
