Store A: BootiesI chose these styles for Store A due to the fact that the women are trendy and will need a variety of booties to tackle the changing seasons. In researching Fashion Snoops, the upcoming trends in materials are texturized, high shine leather, and prints. This selection of booties represents the future fall 2015 trends.

Store A: SandalsThese sandals are appropriate for Store A due to the first being a classic T-strap that goes great with dresses, pants, and skirts (which is why I included this style for all 3 stores) and prints with tie and cut-out details for the trendy shopper.

Store A: PumpsFringe has been and will continue to be on trend for fall 2015. It is a fun detail for the classic pump. The beautiful knot in the stiletto and python texturized print on 4903 0102 makes it a hot item for the Store A customer. These are new trends that were adapted from the classic black pump.

Store A: High-Heel Booties and BootsI chose these booties and boots for the Store A customer due to the various materials and grommet detail that Fashion Snoops forecasted for Fall 2015 from what was trending from Fall 2014. A customer needs different colors in the booties to complement any outfit she may be wearing for fall.

Store A: BootsThese boots reflect the high-heel and flats boots that were popular from last fall. The 4908 7777 boot was included for the trendy Store A woman who wants to spice it up on a night out on the town with her girlfriends or for a hot date. The front tie-up detail is trending currently and will still be seen for fall 2015 (Fashion Snoops). These boots cover a day to night look. I chose 4908 0002 and 4908 0001 for all three clusters because they are fashionable staple of a flat boot that could be worn during errands on the weekends. The leather will keep up well through different weather elements, especially if sprayed for weather protection.

Store B: Sandals and PumpsThis selection of sandals and pumps reflect the professional working woman for Store B. She needs a variety of closed and open toed with various colors and prints, including the classic high-shine leather pump (4903 0122) which is why I also chose for cluster C. These sandals and pumps will cover her for the changing seasons from wearing skirts to pant suits. I also chose 4905 0002 (grey) for cluster C due to the warmer climate being open toed.

Store B: FlatsI chose these flats for the weekend Moms that are running errands and busy with their children. They need easy and comfortable to wear options for the warmer temperatures. These flats are still stylish yet evoke a conservative flare for the suburban housewive. I chose 4900 0011 for both B and C clusters due to the versatility of textures and it is a great option for weekend wear being casual yet stylish.

Store C: Sandals These sandals for the Store C cluster represent both casual and evening wear for the Southern belle providing style and color. There are leather and suede options for the hot and cooler evenings for their summer and fall seasons. This clientele enjoys color and by adding Electric Blue, Teal, and Coral, they can add a pop to their wardrobes. I bought 4909 0004 in both black and brown to cover many outfit choices.

Store C: Pumps and BootsThe few selections in pumps and boots provide for work and weekend play. Providing the boot in both black and brown in all three clusters covers majority of what can go with various outfits. Including black and grey selection in the pumps provides for a work look in keeping with a classic style (4903 0122) and an open toe for the warmer weather.

Store C: FlatsWith this area being warmer and more casual, I selected a variety of flats that would encompass many color choices. This selection includes choices for a more dressy or casual occasion. The bow detail reflects a sweeter version while the python gives a more trendy feature.
