HAPPY MONDAY!!!!
We had a really busy weekend and next weekend is sure to be even busier!
Coming up....
Friday night is Lexi's junior prom and we are hosting a few of Lexi's friends and their families here before the limo picks them up. Kamryn has two birthday parties to attend, one of which is her first slumber party! My mom is coming into town AND Sunday is Mothers Day! Phew!! That's A LOT!
But on to today. Today I'm talking shoes for YOU! Yes, ladies I'm talking to you. These are some of my casual Spring/Summer shoes that I wanted to share with you if you are looking for ideas for yourself.
I have a few staples that I need in my closet to feel like I'm ready to go for Spring and Summer. Once the warmer weather hits I HATE wearing socks. Don't you?
So, first, lets talk those warm but chilly days first that you need a nice casual closed toe shoe.
My go to is always a converse. My dad cracks up that I still wear these at 30 years old but I think they are so cute. Not to mention really really comfy.
These ones are my go to. They have a much cuter fit than the traditional converse. I've had these for a couple years. Best part is you can throw them right in the wash when they get a little dingy looking and they hold up!
If it's chilly out and I'm not wearing those I wear TOMS. Who doesn't love TOMS?
I got this pair this year. They are cute, stylish and SO comfy. I love going neutral for the most part with my shoes that way I can wear them with a number of outfits.
If you're looking for a really cute and affordable lace up flat. Check out these. I got these a few weeks ago and every time I wear them I get a ton of compliments. As a stay at home mom, I don't dress up often so a shoe like this isn't worth it for me to make an investment. I will probably only wear these a handful of times. But are SO cute that I needed to share.
Now on to sandals..
I've had these Sam Edelman sandals for at least 3 years. They are timeless and have held up their shape and still look brand new! For another similar option try here and one more here.
You'll notice all the shoes I'm showing that I have (besides the lace up flats) sit around the same price point. Like $50ish. There are a few things I believe are worth the investment. One of those is shoes. You wear them again and again and again. Trust me, if you buy a good pair of shoes you are going to get your moneys worth. I also find that if I spend a little more on shoes they don't give me blisters, are wearable and comfortable right off the bat. There is nothing worse to me than wearing a brand new pair of shoes that are digging into my feet. But for those of you who don't want to make that investment I made sure to link up other options at different price points. Again, I truly believe a neutral color is key. That way you car wear them with a number of outfits.
Now to totally contradict myself. I just got these.
Aren't they fun?!? I wore them for the first time this weekend and they are SO comfortable! They will definitely be my new go to! These are not neutral per-say BUT I can see these with a bunch of different types of outfits. Shorts and a t-shirt, a cute sun dress, jeans, a blouse and shorts. The list goes on and on and on. I was on the hunt for a new pair of sandals with some flare. If you're looking for a similar beaded sandal check out these or these or these.
But my go-to when I'm at home with the kids....seriously I may die if they stop making these..
the classic...
Majority of the time you can find me chasing toddlers here at home. Running outside to get Kamryn on and off the bus. Walking the kids around the neighborhood or running to the store real quick to buy a gallon of milk. (With 4 kids we go through A LOT) If we're just hanging out then there's no need to wear a nice pair of shoes. These are actually on my feet right this very second. You can't go wrong with these....am I right or am I right?
All of the above shoes are on rotate for me these days. I love them all!
I'm definitely going to do a post on wedges and more dressy Spring/Summer shoes for date nights/birthday parties/weddings etc etc but this one got kind of long and I don't want it to go on and on and on.
I linked up a couple similar options and even some cheaper options if you don't agree with my pay more to last longer philosophy. Some are even half the price! WOO HOO!
I hope everyone has a great day! Let me know if you like any of these or if you too have some of these! I'd love to hear from you!
xoxo,
Kristen
