Alright literally the only thing I can think about right now is the "OMG SHOES" video....IYKYK. LOL. Anyways-- let's actually talk about some *good* shoes today. Who knows, we may all end up getting some too. 😆 OKAY, I'M DONE. I have a few pairs that are my go-tos every Spring + Summer. They're staples because they are easy to style and go with so much. You'll see I've definitely gotten my wear's worth out of a few of them over the years. I also just bought a new pair of slides that I'm pretty sure are gonna be a fave too so I had to include them!
PSA-- they are all flats! We have no time for heels or wedges here! Haha, I actually love how they look I just can't them to work so it's usually sandals or sneaks for me. What do you wear more of??
SPRING & SUMMER SHOE STAPLES
We'll start with the Birki's!! I always say this but I feel like you either love or hate them?!? Obviously I'm a fan-- they have their own signature vibe + style. They're very comfy and better for your feet too! I have the Arizona style in a few different colors that I pair with cutoffs, leggings and gym shorts. They're on the pricier side but should last you for years-- I've beaten mine up quite a bit and I think they still look really good considering!
Converse Chuck Taylor Low Top Sneaker
Chucks are always a classic-- for some reason I love them during the warmer months! Maybe because they aren't that warm, haha?? I usually wear them with my "edgy" looks-- graphics, distressed tees, etc. I have a white pair + a black which give completely different looks. The white is a little more clean/feminine and the black can go more edgy/cool (especially if a lil' dirty!). I paired the white ones with a dress in this look and the black ones with a graphic tee here. Which do you think look better?
adidas Adilette Comfort Slide Sandal
Okay these are funny because I don't really like rubber slides-- I am a leather sandals girl. Ya'll will laugh but I bought these for the rain. Totally that person who babies their shoes when the weather is bad... I don't want to mess them up, lol! That usually leaves sneakers as my only option but sometimes it's too hot for that or they don't work with my outfit. I went for the adidas Adilette because everyone said they're super comfy and they aren't too expensive. Lots of color options too!
I live in these-- I seriously wear almost every single day. A few years ago you couldn't catch me in sneakers... I never liked them, haha. Times have changed because I'm now obsessed with the adidas Swift Runs. I never have to think about them-- since I wear leggings most days, they always look good. I have the older version but I'll link the new style here. I'll also say they are way cheaper than a lot of other sneakers out there! I have yet to find any worth paying $100+ for so I'm sticking with these!
If I could only wear one sandal for the rest of my life it would have to be these. Rainbows are my forever love-- I think I've been wearing them since I was 12?? They are the best, simple leather flip-flop. Durable, comfy and they go with almost anything. Right now I have the skinny strap style but I've also had the wide strap too. They are around $50 and the quality is great-- I usually get 2-3 years out of a pair and then they start to look a little janky so I buy new ones. Sometimes I still keep the old ones though so I can wear them in the rain 😉
From the outside these are the odd man out but that's why I love them. They're a little bit more on the dressy side but I find they still work with what I like to wear! I usually will grab for them if I want to balance out something edgy like a graphic tee or ripped jeans OR if I need a little bit of a nicer looking sandal. You can wear them with so much-- dresses/skirts, jeans, shorts, swimsuits, etc. They were a splurge back when I bought them but still look great after the 4-5 years I've had them.
Let's hope the weather stays nice enough to wear these-- we have a cold front coming through here! I heard several states have gotten snow this week so we may all be back in UGGs! 🤦♀️
