It can be hard enough crawling out of bed in the morning. And the thought of donning boring duds can make facing the day seem even harder. Sure, those black heels and ballet flats are timeless, but some days your 9 to 5 attire needs something more. And maybe you’re not the type to get funky with your workwear, but a few simple touches — like a crazy awesome pair of shoes — are all you need to shake things up.
