Even though during the summer I always go barefoot, shoes are the more creative side to any summer outfit. They can either tear the outfit apart or pull it all together. In the summertime, I notice sandals, espadrilles and nude heels are all fresh, beachy and simple. I feel like those three words almost define summer, let alone the appropriate shoes to wear. White, nude and bright colors are all obviously a good start. As for heels, peep toes are a girly, retro shoe that not only look perfect all summer but can last all year. Strappy sandals are unique, hip and versatile, especially neutral ones. Espadrilles are the hip, obvious summer shoe, and they look perfect with anything from skinny jeans to sundresses.
These wedges are 4 inches high with a 1 inch platform. I personally like the white more and think the cork gives them a relaxed feel. The pink, though, is brighter, more fun and would look great with a more muted floral or patterned dress. The little wrapped piece of canvas in the middle of the straps give the three straps more of a bow look. I like the way the straps go over the wedge. They also come in black but I feel like the color black and the idea of espadrilles clash. The espadrille is the iconic summer shoe and black is a much more fall/winter color and that's why I only displayed pink and white. I recently bought a pair of these and after walking in them I can say that they're extremely comfortable, well-made and because of the chunky wedge, they are easy to walk in. For only $60 at Nordstrom's BP, these espadrilles are a steal.
These suede, peep toe heels are perfect for any Barbeque, party or dinner. The stacked wooden heel is 4 1/2 and the elastic ankle strap is comfortable and makes heels much more stable to walk in. Nude literally goes with every color imaginable. All though these are very summery, they can be made more wearable with a black or navy dress. These would look great with any white, pastel or patterned dress. They could even work with a skirt and a blouse. The only thing is that they bottom/dress can't be too short because the heel elongates your leg which makes everything look shorter. These are Pelle Moda's Issa Sandal and they're available in many different colors as well. The one place that i've noticed sells them in the most sizes and colors is Zappos. Although they sell for $158, these shoes are worth it. They're wearable with anything, anytime and will last you a while.
These are just some of the generic, but stylish sandals that Forever 21 sells. All though they aren't the best quality, the fact that these summery sandals are between $15-20 makes up for the fake leather and grade of the shoes. The ones on the far left are strappy gold sandals which have a grecian look to them. The gold makes these cheap shoes look rich while the diagonal and horizontal straps make the shoe unique. These would look great with cut-offs, a cover-up and a swimsuit, or a dress. The middle sandals are very similar to the left ones except the burnt color gives them a rougher, less feminine look. These would look better with a chiffon blouse or a floral tank; something girly to balance out the toughness of the shoes. The ones to the far right are a lighter colored leather and the braids are a delicate detail. The gold studs at the end of each strap are like the perfect accessory to an outfit. They give the shoe some shine. All of these strappy sandals include a zipper placket in the back so they're easy to put on/take off. These are simple, CHEAP, must-have sandals.Ideas, Ideas:)
