It’s the New Year – and many people choose to cut out certain bad habits in their lives – be it sugar, Internet hours, frivolous spending, you name it. Despite the optimistic outcomes we hope come from these changes, the process of cutting out the things we enjoy or do most is not a fun (or easy!) task.

While cut-backs can be a burden, we’ve got a fresh and exciting new resolution for you that also involves some cutouts – shapely, stunning cutouts that is.

We dare you to wear one of the hottest trends of the new 2014 season: shoes with ornate vamp cutouts! Talk about a fabulous change – and although daring, one that won’t be too difficult!Elaborate cutouts are all the rage; they look top-designer expensive and sultry without being taken too seriously.

With a typically netted appearance, cutouts automatically transform your shoes into texturized, alluring eye candy for any passerby. They’re unique enough to get you noticed, yet street-chic and friendly enough for the everyday “It Girl”. This trend on heels in particular is impeccable – you’ll be the runway-ready model out of your crew of friends when wearing cutout pumps out on the town!

So keep your goals in check this year and step up your fashion trends early – rocking a pair of cutout shoes will do just the trick! We’ll help you get started right here at ShoeMall:
