For the Fall/Winter 2018 season I was inspired to give my shoe game a LIFT. One day I simply had the vision of wearing platform black shoes to add some edge to my looks. As I did my search I came across these Pointy Creeper Patent Platform Sneakers by PUMA.

Brothel creepers (sometimes shortened to creepers) are a style of shoe which has thick crepe soles, often in combination with suede uppers. This style of footwear became fashionable in the years following World War II, seeing resurgences of popularity at various times ever since.

I was apprehensive at first but then I called by bestie Ash and she encouraged me to make the order! Once they came in the mail I was still not convinced. So I played dress up in them to test them out and once I got Ash’s thumbs up I kept them and I am so glad that I did.

I styled them with some cropped tuxedo joggers and a white button down with black collar. I added some texture and pattern by wearing black and white gingham socks.

Have you ever tried Creepers?
