Part two in the simplified closet series focuses on shoes. Every girls weakness, right!? I'll admit I wasn't much of a shoe lover until a few years ago. A great pair of shoes definitely makes or breaks your outfit. The key with basic shoes is quality, comfort, and usability. For some of you, the thought of only eight pair of shoes might sound like a bad nightmare. However, if you only have shoes you absolutely love, eight is plenty! Black and nude pumps cover all seasons and all occasions for fancy occasions. Dark brown boots work for skinny jeans, tights and dresses, and work well while transitioning into spring. I love black and dark brown/tan together but if you don't you might want to consider investing in a basic and versatile black boots like these. Black and tan flats are very chic and work day to night. I think cheetah print is never going out of style and is a fun way to spice up your wardrobe when you're sick of plain colors. Rainbow sandals seriously last forever and are perfect for running around everywhere during the summer time. If you want another option, definitely go with white like these so they match with everything. And finally, I absolutely love my converse. I wear them as often as possible. I wore them all around Europe and was so happy I had them with me. I think they even look cute with skirts and summer dresses. However, if you're all about comfy shoes, classic sperrys work well and will last for years.
What's your go-to shoe style?
Maybe leopard doesn't match everything, but I like to pretend it does. If only I could pull off animal print boots without being Mrs. Tacky, that would be the dream.
ReplyDeleteI want animal print boots too! I know they're tacky but the short booties are so cute! ;)
Deleteswap black for navy, leopard for stripe, rainbow for sam edelman and converse for superga and you have my go-to shoes. also i think everyone needs a pair of fun shoes that just make them happy every time they wear them.
ReplyDeleteI almost mentioned you in the post about adding navy in ;)
DeleteThese are exactly the same pairs of shoes that are my "go to". Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bri! :)
DeleteI find myself wearing the same shoes over and over. I need leopard flats because I am constantly wishing my leopard heels were flats to go with whatever outfit. I think they do work with a ton of things! Especially for someone who likes to keep their wardrobe pretty lowkey (wink wink), they will pair with most basics.
ReplyDeletePut them on your Christmas List!
DeleteI used to watch What Not to Wear when I was in college religiously. One of their tips was to have a 'splurge' pair of shoes--one pair that are conversation starters or just really great. I invested in a pair of wedges with a green velvet flower on them. They don't sound appealing, and I only wear them a few times each summer, but seriously...every.single.time I do I get a compliment on them. I'm with you on every other pair you mentioned...I sometimes struggle with knowing whether to get pointy-toe flats or round-toe flats. Again, you have made me want to whittle down to the pairs that I REALLY do wear! I absolutely LOVE this series! Can you make this a weekly thing? :)
