Ali Trend Alert: Ankle Cuffs

Ankle cuffs are a trend that I've seen on the rise the last few months. In my mind they pay homage to the old school "ankle bracelets" that we used to rock back when I was a little whippersnapper. Ankle cuffs are a piece of hardware, that can help to spruce up a pair of pumps, wedges, or flats. Usually coming in gold, ankle cuffs allow you to to bring an unexpected element to an simple outfit.

You can get ankle cuffs that are attached to the actual shoes or your can buy or create your own so that you are able to switch and swap the cuffs with an array of shoes. Here is some inspiration on how to rock the cuffs.
