What shoes to wear for Spring

shoes to wear for Spring

Utah weather is jacked up, and that’s a fact.  Regardless of the time of year, Utah likes to mix it up.  There’s almost always snow on the ground for Easter, and once in a while January throws us a 70 degree day.  You know, for fun.  It’s cold right now, but it’s warming up so I’m picking out what shoes to wear for Spring.  Here are 6 options for you, no matter the weather.  (well, kind of.)

1.  Wedges

2.  Kitten Heels

3.  Ballet Flats

4.  Spring boots

5.  Espadrilles

6.  Sandals

Wear the wedges with, well, anything in your closet.  They would look adorable with a skirt or a pair of cut-off jeans.  The kitten heels are perfect for a work outfit, or with dark skinny jeans for a night out with your girls.  Ballet flats go with anything and everything, including your mom (bonus!).  You might be scratching your head about the boots, but don’t.  Short little sassy cowboy boots are RIDONKULOUS with a denim mini or a blousy maxi dress.  That outfit makes me happy just thinking about it.  Espadrilles go with everything, but your boss might not feel happy with them at the office, they’re a little casual.  Last but not least, a comfortable pair of sandals.  I’ve been wanting a bright red or bright yellow pair of Saltwater Sandals for as long as I remember and this summer it’s going to happen.  Wear sandals with everything you possibly can, for as long as you can: shorts, capris, jeans, skirts, minis, sundresses.

Happy Spring!

You know how much I love the Pinterest right?  I can’t get enough.  In fact, if my iPhone could track the traffic on my screen, all roads would end at Pinterest.

I thought it would be fun to corral some of my favorite finds from Pinterest about once a week and highlight them here.  This week?

SHOES!

my favorite pair of heels

high heels

A few months ago I was accidentally shopping at Nordstrom with my husband {hey, it happens!} when we came across a women’s shoe sale.  It’s not pretty finding a shoe sale you weren’t planning to find.  Oops! There goes the kids’ college tuition!

jessica simpson shoes

I found these Jessica Simpson nude heels for $45.  They were normally twice that, and I fell fast and hard for these babies.  I’ve fought the nude trend forever, thinking it’s just not a flattering shade for anyone, anywhere.  And boy, I was wrong.

I also probably judged Jessica Simpson prematurely, thinking that her life choices were indicative of what kind of shoes “she” would design.  Well, girlfriend has an amazing team of designers because this is the second pair of Jessica Simpson shoes in my closet.

What was your last impulse buy?

thick soles

It was all fun and games in the 90′s when we were being ironically sad and hopeless, wearing baggy flannel and worrying about our collegiate and suburban futures, but the gig is up.  Thick soled shoes are for people who legitimately need to wear them for health reasons {maybe you have one leg that’s shorter [...]

cheap ballet flats for women

cute ballet flats

The other night I was at the mall with Precocious, something that happens so rarely it just felt really weird to type it.  I mean, we never ever go to the mall together unless we’re headed to a movie as a family.  It was actually a really nice, belated birthday present for my now 11-year-old [...]

fall boots for 2010.

fall boots

You’ve noticed a lot of boots on women around town, yes?  I’m so excited this boot trend hasn’t gone anywhere because I’m a huge fan of the boot and it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the fact that Utah is snowy 9 months out of the year.  I don’t think. Anyway, I’m thrilled [...]
