TREND ALERT! Snake Skin Shoes for Valentine’s Day

I'll admit it. Snakes terrify me! Maybe it stems from the whole Garden of Eden episode, I don't know, but the slithery creatures just creep me out. However, I am a slave to fashion, and the animal print trend is here to stay. Of course I had to try it, and honestly, I really love it!

My favorite recent spin on this look is the emergence of snakeskin patterns on everything from handbags to shoes. The print is a fresh update on all the cat prints that are at this point, a bit played out. From the catwalk to the city streets, all the trendiest mamis have been spotted rocking snakeskin. My favorite thing about snakeskin prints is that even though they allow you to walk on the wild side a bit, they actually function as neutrals once incorporated into your wardrobe. You'll be shocked to find out that a pair of classic snakeskin pumps, like these New York Women's Snakeskin Print Pumps work with almost everything you already wear!

Just keep in mind when rocking this fun trend to keep the animal attraction to a minimum; you don't want to layer on too many prints. Let one snakeskin accessory really stand out and keep the rest of your outfit relatively low key for the best effect.
