Blue Wedges for Vintage Outfits

Katy Perry sporting the vintage wedge look to perfection

When I think of blue wedges, I think of pin up girls, sailor hats and flouncy skirts with blue and white polka dots. I am a big fan of vintage clothing. I've even written articles on vintage dresses. There is something beautiful about the dresses of the 40s, 50s and 60s. I bet you're picturing outfits now.

A great pair of blue wedge shoes can really look fantastic with the right outfit. I love vintage looks, especially those from the 50s. The pin up gals, like Bettie Page, were superbly glamorous with their Peter Pan collars and tight halter dresses. Right now vintage is in and I couldn't be happier. Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese have made some incredible inroads with bringing back the fashions of pin up gals.

Since the wedge shoes were invented in the 30s, they've made a splash. Whether paired with a pin up style dress, as written above, or worn with shorts, the wedge shoe is lovely. In fact, a pair of blue wedges look great with swimsuits and shorts. The pin up gals modeled that idea, and it's still popular today.

There are hundreds of shades of blue wedge shoes and each can play an important role in the wardrobe. If you're looking for a shade of blue that functions with many different types of clothing, choose navy. Navy is a gorgeous color and looks spectacular with tan, white and red.

One of my favorite outfits is the blue and white striped sweater, or blouse, with a pair of white or khaki pants worn with a wedge sandal in navy blue. White is probably the ultimate contrast color with navy, which makes this combination really hot. It was really popular years ago, 80s or 90s I think, and I'm not sure how things like leggings, skinny jeans and vests are coming back (ew), and not styles that were really cute like the sailor colors. Maybe I'm too much of a soccer mom? Is it just me that finds those combination unbelievably cute?

I may not be in my 20s, but I can sure appreciate Katy Perry's style choices. And obviously the world agrees with me, because her style is almost as popular as her music. I love the cover of her album, especially the big hats. I really hope she's bringing back the whole 50's rockabilly styling.
