More than ever, footwear is not only seducing our imaginations
but it’s also emptying our wallet as well. Shows like Sex and The City have
magnified this notion and gave license to bring our shoe obsessions into light.
Thanks to the fab foursome, many of us have gone shoe crazy. You know what I’m
talking, leaving a store with a bag full of trendy shoes that cost an arm and
leg only to realize months later they were only worn once or twice. With
seemingly endless options each season, it’s hard not to get caught up with all
the trends, so if your looking to be financially smarter when it comes to
buying in the upcoming season, or if spring cleaning is in the near future, I
put together a list of 10 must have shoes styles that are here to stay.
#1: BLACK PUMPS
A basic black pump is the ultimate “go to” for any outfit. They pull an outfit together with
sophistication and elegance. Leather,
suede, or patent are great options. Here are links to get this:
Nubuck Almond Toe
Platform Pumps in Black at Charlotte Russe $32.50
Chain Harness
Platform Pumps in Black at Charlotte Russe $35.50
#2: NUDE PUMPS
There are so many shades of nude, but it’s best to find a pump that has a combination
of beige and peach hue mixed together. What I’m describing is the the perfect
nude color that will go with everything from the “lbd” to floral prints. Find a color that goes with everything,
and most importantly elongates your legs! Here are links to get this:

#3: COLORFUL
PUMPS
Since most of our
work attire or daywear consists of neutrals, investing in a bright colored pump
can completely transform your style. Colors like red, cobalt blue, fuchsia,
teal, or even yellow can take a look from basic to amazing. Here are links to get this:

#4: BASIC TWO
STRAP SANDALS
This sandal is
best worn through spring until early fall. This sandal is meant to be as minimal as possible with just
a strap or two to keep your foot in place. This shoe is pretty basic, and doesn’t take away attention
from the rest of your look. Here are
links to get this:

I don’t know about
you but I am big fan of this shoe. Living in the Big Apple I depend solely on
this shoe to get me everywhere. It’s the quintessential run around shoe. The most fun part with this shoe
is the endless choices you have with styles, materials and colors. Really,the
sky is your limit! They look
fantastic paired with a t-shirt and dark jeans combo or worn with an above-the-knee skirt
or dress, or capris for a feminine look. Here are

#5: GOLD FLAT
SANDALS
Rather than
always wearing a heel, this style can serve as an alternative and can complement
your dressy pants and dresses. There are so many styles this comes in from two
strap versions to Grecian influenced designs. Remember choose a gold finish
that goes with about everything. Here

#6: NUDE WEDGES
What better way
to show off your pedicure than a pair of comfortable yet glamorous wedge heels.
I love that these are so easy to walk in, and look great with everything, and it’s
versatility makes it easily worn with both casual and dressy looks. This shoe
goes with about everything including jeans, trousers, maxi dresses, and bodycon
dresses too! Due to it’s neutral color you can wear it all summer long preventing
you from over spending. Here are links

a huge hit this past year and are not leaving any time soon. It can add edge or
style to your look depending on what you pair it with. This is one of the shoes that I and so
many of my friends have fallen in love with. In black, brown, or nude are great
colors to wear this. It’s a fun alternative for the fall and winter when you
want to cover more of your foot but have a feel of a fabulous heel. Open toed booties are another great
option to wear more into the spring season. Here are links to get this:
