Favorite Shoe Trends for Spring 2017

Everybody has their own guilty pleasure. For me personally, it’s shoes. I can admit that I have something of a shoe addiction and that I own more shoes than any human being probably should. They say the first step is admitting you have an addiction, and friends, I definitely have a weakness for shoes. Whether it be strappy sandals, sky-high patforms, or anything in between, I want them all.

I can hardly contain how excited I am for all of the spring trends this season- shoe trends included, of course. I wanted to share three of my favorite shoe trends for this upcoming season that I have been noticing (and loving) lately!

Summertime Stripes

Happy Wednesday! It’s officially summer, so it’s time to break out your favorite striped ensemble. With 4th of July just around the corner, I thought I would share one of my favorite ‘red, white, & blue’ looks. I can’t get enough of co-ord sets this season, and this nautical duo is no exception. I personally love this one specifically because it’s so fun to mix-and-match. I wear the striped midi skirt to work with polished blouses, and I love throwing on the crop top with solid, white shorts. I also love either piece with a pop of color!

Stay tuned because I have another fun & festive 4th of July post coming next week..

Totally Tasseled

lace up tassel sandals (comes in four colors!)

Happy Monday! The best kind of shoes are the ones that you can wear all the time- for work and play. Being the shoe-addict that I am, when I spotted these gorgeous heels on Revolve, it was love at first sight. Not only are they incredible comfortable, they are also very on-trend and give any outfit that extra kick. I paired them with a floral maxi dress for Easter & I wore them again last week with some patterned Mumu shorts and a white, silk blouse. I love that they are perfect for any occasion & I am trying so hard to resist picking them up in another color [ginger suede pictured above]!

Here are some other tassel-adorned pieces to add to your wardrobe this season:

Pretty in pink.. but better in blue. I always seem to gravitate towards blue pieces in the same way it seems most people opt for the ever-so-classic black. I love black, don’t get me wrong, but there’s just something about blue that is so relaxing and fun at the same time. I also feel like it’s very universally flattering (unlike black, which is a color I tend to avoid when I am in dire need a serious tan). I have a confession to make, friends. I may or may not have snatched this dress from my mom’s closet. When I saw this blue & breezy Free People beauty hanging up, I just had to ‘borrow’ it (sorry mom, ily!). This floral mini dress is beyond comfy, and it’s incredibly lightweight, making it perfect for the warm (and sometimes sticky) months ahead. My favorite part about this dress though? It’s easy. It’s that dress that is your constant ‘go-to’. It doesn’t require much thought or contemplation. It’s easy to just throw on, go, and conquer the day. A day of shopping? Pair it with neutral or metallic sandals and a crossbody purse. Brunch with the girls? Lace-up sandal heels and a clutch are a must. This dress also comes in black, so yay for options! I know I will definitely be wearing this dress weekly during the summer. It’s just so adorable!

Take the Plunge

Dress: Revolve (only $50!) // Heels: Missguided (not available anymore, other fun heels linked below) // Bracelet: David Yurman

Life’s too short for boring shoes- and to not break out of your comfort zone every once in a while. My wardrobe basically consists of an excessive amount of halter tops and dresses. Plunging necklines have always intimidated me in the past, but when I spotted this dress on Revolve, I decided to take a risk & take the plunge. The NBD ‘everytime’ skater dress comes in several different colors (including black and white) and is surprisingly flattering. Plus, the price is pretty hard to beat at $50! I definitely think it runs true to size, and I purchased mine in an XS. If you are looking for the perfect dress for a formal or spring time event, look no further!

When I saw these wild, holographic heels on Missguided a few months ago, I couldn’t pass them up. I think they really add a unique touch to any outfit and make you stand out. I absolutely love fun shoes, especially to pair with more solid and neutral pieces in my wardrobe. I’ve linked some more exciting heels below!

I apologize that I have been a little MIA this past week, but I am now back from spring break! I had such a great time in Florida with my sorority sisters. The tans will fade, but the memories definitely won’t. I hope that you guys are having a great Sunday & a happy spring break!

Sam Edelman lace up heels (run true to size)

Anybody that knows me, knows that I am a have something of a shoe addiction. I love shoes, possibly a little too much. My feet haven’t grown since about the fifth grade, so I have always used that as an excuse to justify my addiction. I spotted these gorgeous Sam Edelman lace up heels a few months ago, and it was love at first. My mom ended up buying them for her own shoe collection several weeks ago, and I definitely have been ‘breaking them in for her’ (the perks of having the same shoe size as your style savvy mom!). These sandal heels are very comfortable and are incredibly versatile. It can be hard to find heels that aren’t too casual but not too dressy, and these lace up gems are perfect for brunch, church, a spring time wedding, dinner or girls night!

There have been so many awesome spring shoes out this season, and I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you guys! I’ve been so into the lace-up shoe trend lately, and I think they are so perfect for both spring & summer.
