Oscar Style with DSW

Award season is here and spring is upon us. Don’t leave the hot accessorizing to the celeb set — you can earn major red carpet style cred without paying top dollar with your footwear after a visit to DSW. The ATC team are serious DSW addicts and always have been. As we watched in wonder as the stars headed down the red carpet at the Academy Awards, and grace the covers of the weeklies looking picture -perfect, let’s not forget to take a moment (and a few bucks) to celebrate our own Oscar-worthy style.

Reese Witherspoon has turned up at the Oscars year after year hitting the right note somewhere between classic and contemporary. Channel her elegance and ladylike flair for your every day lifestyle with the current flats collections offered at DSW. To hit the right note, seek out bold patterns in a classic shape, like these Mercanti Fiorentini spotted flats for only $110 (elsewhere — $195).

Stars like Rihanna and Heidi Klum are known for rocking bold splashes of color on the red carpet. DSW has so many enviable bright options on offer — many around $60 or under. From cheerful florals to surprising snakeskin, there’s a pop of color for every girl, whether you’re shy or prefer to make a scene. The bursting brights above are, clockwise from top left: BCBGeneration Darron pump ($69.95 at DSW, $118 elsewhere), Mix No. 6 Chelle platform ($39.95, $70 elsewhere), Alice + Olivia Dina reptile pump ($259.95, $325 elsewhere), and Steve Madden Zephyr pump ($59.95, $89 elsewhere).

Metallics are another red-carpet-worthy splurge that you’re sure to see tons of from our favorite Oscar darlings this season. Score yours for way off retail at DSW — an array of chic styles are available to help make you shine. These insanely gorg Prada shoes are a relative steal at $499.95 (find them elsewhere for $615). Need something a little more sensible for everyday or date night? Scope these silver and golden beauties below — each as shiny and exciting as your very own Oscar. Clockwise from top left: Sergio Rossi leather slingback ($199.95, $620 elsewhere), Gucci metallic leather horsebit sandal ($399.95, $595 elsewhere), Michael Antonio Lanza metallic pump ($39.95, $49 elsewhere), Diane von Furstenberg Devon sandal ($219.95, $398 elsewhere).

Nudes are always a great choice for the red carpet – without color to break the line of your leg, you look taller and your legs look a mile long! Plus, they will go with everything, so nude pumps are a closet staple every woman should have.  I have the Mix No. 6 Rayelle Sandal ($34.95, $70 elsewhere)  BCBG Paris Jaze Pump ($59.95, $89 elsewhere).

Make any date night or lunch meet-up an Oscar-worthy moment with the incredible selection of celeb-worthy looks at DSW. We’d sit here and post more favorites for you all day, but we have shoe shopping to do!
