Can A Shoe Transform Your Life?
Written By: Kitty Muprhy
I don’t know about you, but watching summer fade just really bums me out. Albeit sad, the crisp fall air always brings a new energy and I love looking at my clothes with a different eye to see what transitions into fall with maybe just the change of a shoe. I like to think of it as a little game, what summer pieces can stand the test of fall? On the flip, I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been there, when your closet appears to be overflowing but absolutely nothing seems to be working.
We all find ourselves struggling with the best ways to transition our summer outfits, most commonly during the early months of fall, since it tends to be sixty degrees in the morning and eighty by the time the afternoon rolls around. But this fall season I am trying to keep it simple, losing the sandals and popping on a ballet flat for a quick fall fix. From studded to mesh, I love alllll the ballet flats. To bring a summer dress into fall it can be as easy as grabbing a quick pair of boots. With that being said, here are all of my favorite shoes for the transitioning of seasons because really, who can have enough shoes?!
BALLET FLATS:
Pro tip: you can never go wrong with a red shoe!
I broke out my mesh ballet flats in August this year because I was just too excited. Ballet flats are so magical because they immediately ‘chicify’ any plain jane outfit. We are going to be seeing studded everything from bags to belts to ballet flats and I cannot wait to see how people make these styles their own.
BOOTS:
You heard it here first:
Hunter boots are officially back!
I wasn’t the biggest fan of them in the past but seeing the way some of my fashion icons have been styling them has quickly changed my mind. Don’t worry if hunter boots aren’t your cup of tea because we will also be seeing lots of suede and even cowboy boots this season!
KITTEN HEELS:
You can’t tell me you don’t feel like Carrie Bradshaw the second you throw on your favorite pair of kitten heels. In the summer, I usually notice dresses being styled in a more casual, effortless way whereas the fall is a time to step up your game which is where the kitten heels come in! I cannot WAIT to grow my collection this year!
