Carrie Bradshaw knew the power of shoes. In almost every episode of “Sex and the City” she was buying yet another pair of Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik shoes, and talking about how she’d spent her entire paycheck on them. We’re not saying you should spend your entire paycheck on shoes, but if you’re looking, here are some gorgeous color-block heels that are definitely worth splurging on.

 

Givenchy Color-Block Leather Sandals

 

 

If you're going to drop some serious dough on stilletos then make sure it's a pair that you can wear everywhere. These gorgeous leather heels are super sophisticated, so not only are they great to wear with a pencil skirt to work, but would also look stunning with a glamorous cocktail dress for date night.   

 

Gucci Color-Block Suede Sandals

 

 

Carrie would approve of these seafoam green, sky blue, and black heels from Gucci. They're equal parts feminine and sporty, so feel free to wear them with a pastel dress or a pair of cropped skinny jeans and loose V-neck. 

 

Jimmy Choo Volt Color-Block Patent-Leather Slingbacks

 

 

If you're looking for a pair of heels that can liven up any outfit, look no further. These slingbacks are bold and modern, so try wearing them with a graphic print dress that has at least one of the colors in it. 

 

Marni Color-Block Patent-Leather Sandals

 

 

The chocolate brown and cherry red hues on these color-blocked sandals really pop, but the low heel in shiny gold is the true standout. Wear them with a crisp A-line skirt, white V-neck, and statement necklace for a dressy, summertime look. 

 

Pierre Hardy Color-Block Panel Wedge Sandal

 

 

These Pierre Hardy color-block heels have nearly every neutral color worked into them, making them surprisingly versatile. Try them with a pleated red skirt for a cool, breezy look. 

 

Marc by Marc Jacobs Color-Block Suede and Leather Sandals

 

 

We love the subtle pop of mint and small cutouts in these cute Marc Jacob sandals. These stunners are just dressy enough to wear to work this summer, so go ahead, pair them with a crisp, white trouser and lightweight knit shell.

 

Topshop Glimpse Color-Mix Court Heels

 

 

Classic color at its finest! These heels are simple, chic, and will go with almost anything. Wow with a red pencil skirt and flowy blouse or a royal blue mini dress.

 

Trotters Dea Color-Block Pump

 

 

If you're looking to try the color-block trend but aren't keen on wearing splashy colors like magenta or turquoise, try these subtle pumps. The low heel and adjustable slingback are perfect for business meetings or a weekend wedding. 

 

Manolo Blahnik Bipunta

 

 

Carrie basically considered Manolo Blahnik the Babe Ruth of shoes, so we'd wager a guess that she'd be all over these ladylike heels. Again, the colors are super versatile, which means you can wear them with just about anything. That's a whole lot of bang for your buck!
