How do you match your shoes to an outfit, or do you?

Anyone else here slightly bothered by the phrase 'matchy-matchy' to pick on fashion outfits? I even recently read somewhere that you should 'only' match your shoes to the color of your skirt or pants. Honestly, I think it really varies from outfit to outfit & of course mood & personal style.

I happen to like coordinating shoes with a belt, bag or watch. Sure, you can go overboard, but strategic color matches can really bring monochromatic staples up a level.

Anyway, got these shoes last month (Guess at about $35 from amazon) and just caved & got this watch at TJmaxx for $119 & reminded me about the whole 'matchy' thing.

me I always match my shoes with my outfit. I always ask my younger sister if my shoes is ok with my dress.
