Somehow, I have either lost a majority of my shoes from last summer or they have gone to shoe heaven via my Bassett mix. After taking stock of what shoes I have left, I put together this list of the shoes I'm really loving for the summer of 2013:
Navajo Sandal | These are the classic Jack Rogers Navajos that have been worn for decades. If I buy only one pair of shoes this summer it'll be these. I'm not sure what color to get, I'm leaning between the gold or platinum.
Espadrille Lace-Ups | I bought these the other weekend from Old Navy. They're only $20! They're comfortable and because they're espadrilles I doubt they'll last the rest of the summer. But for a pretty cheap price you get a lot of style.
Kilty Moccasin | I love moccasins, they're just so easy to put on and go while giving an extra bit of style that flats can't match. I'm debating between the classic brown or the gray.
Good as Gold Wedges| I bought these during the Lilly Pulitzer sale back in January. These low wedges just dress up an outfit effortlessly and I've been wearing them non-stop since May. The thong part that goes in between the toes was uncomfortable at first, but my mom found me some padded cushions to go around the thong part and they feel a lot better. Price have you down? They're easy to find for around $80 unused on Ebay.
Felucca Lace | I've been looking for a new pair of boat shoes that have a low vamp to wear with skinny jeans/pants. These fit the bill and they're made in America. I also love these Audrey flats from Sperry.
Hadley Espadrilles | Espadrille flats are hot this summer. All sorts of colors and prints are available on store shelves and you really just can't go wrong with any of 'em. I fell in love with the orange detailing on this pair from a collaboration between Sperry and one of the Queens of Prep, Milly. Isn't the bow on the back darling?
Alicia High Heel Sandal | Just a simple pair of strappy brown heels. I was going to get these, but ended up getting these from American Eagle:
They're cute, they're comfortable, they're cheaply made. I doubt these will last much longer. I'm going to wait a bit longer to see if the Lands' End version will go on sale a bit more before I buy. In the meantime, the AE version will suffice.
Sutton Wedges | I love the mixture of color and texture on these. I think these would be great to add interest to a rather simple outfit.
Peep Toe Cork Platform | After a knee injury about a year ago, I've had to nix wearing heels. Now that my knee is better I keep drooling over the highest heels I can find. I simply adore the shape on these Zara heels. Simple black peep-toes with a cork platform to help keep them summery is what made them jump over all other heels to make my list. Want to avoid knee injuries? Don't attempt to play hockey drunk.
