Thanks a Brazilian

Carolina Pagano Shoes

Dance floor fiascoes are the number one contributor to workplace chagrin. This year, be responsible: Study up with Miss Twinkletoes’s easy at-home lessons.

Step 1: Slide out of your wellies.

Step 2: Sidestep bulky socks.

Step 3: Turn to a pair of sexy handmade Carolina Pagano shoes. Seattle designer Carolina Sadowski references her native Brazil in the hardware (natural bone beads), accent fabrics (satin, linen), and colors (skin, sand, magenta), which exude saucy luxury.

Step 4: Samba in the festive Sonia slide. Hustle in the strappy Capola. Or pas de bourrée in the Bea ballerina flat with its sweetly sizable bow.

Step 5: Finish with a flashy finale (jazz hands optional).

And just like that you’ll feel like the cock of the walk.
