Get pumped

When winter comes, without fail, dark colors creep into your wardrobe. The bright hues are replaced with drab winter colors. While some may put their fashion sense and creative style in hibernation until spring comes around, don't let that be the case for you.

Dare to be different and incorporate color into your style all year round. This is no time to rely on expected staples like your mini black dress and black heels for every occasion.

If you are one of those independent individuals who take risks and plan to strut your stuff no matter what the season, be sure to bring out your colorful side. One way to do this is to add colorful heels to your collection.

The super trendy heels showcased in the picture are the "Steve Madden Women's Trixie Pump" priced at $79.95 from DSW. Forget the heels with just one color. It's high time we see numerous colors added to our pumps.

Another great high-heeled pump from DSW is the "Steve Madden Women's Toni Pump" for $69.95. Either way, you can't go wrong with these show stopping multi-dimensional pumps.

Unlike women, it is assumed that men should stick with one color for your shoes as a general rule. Black or brown colors work best for men and go with just about anything.
