Summer Shoe Capsule

You don’t need a lot of shoes! Yes, I really said that. 75% of your shoe wardrobe should be (stylishly) functional and (really important) comfortable.

My summer shoe capsule has 4 pairs of shoes in it. One pair of wedges, flip flops, throwback sneakers, and a completely unfunctional heel. With these, I've got all the bases covered for any summer occasion whether it's going to brunch, on daily beach walks, running errands, or hosting a dinner party.

Let's talk about those completely unfunctional heels. Hear me out. The top complaint I hear from my clients over the age of 40 is that they can’t wear heels anymore because for one reason or another they have foot problems due to the ridiculous heels they wore in their 20's.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t room for one pair of beautifully impractical shoes, though. Especially now that covid is over and we are going out and about! Dressing up feels normal again. Wear the impractical heel to dinner with your gals! But pack your Rainbows in your bag - just in case.

Ps you can get AMAZING deals on impractical statement shoes on TRR - many brand new! These Tamara Melons were $125! New in box! But just one pair!!

#1 Wedge or flatform

A cute summer-style pair of wedges or flatforms can instantly escalate a summer look. Wear these to summer brunches and casual dinners.

#2 Flip Flop or active sandal (Rainbow for me, Teva or Birks)

Everyone needs a pair of casual go-to sandals to wear around the house, to the beach, quick errands, picnics. I would recommend these to be slip-on to find ease in your day. No need to bend down and buckle an ankle strap every time you need to shoe your feet.

These sandals never let me down. They are neutral, durable, and comfortable- they withstand my daily beach walks

#3 Throwback Sneaker

These are for days you need a little extra support and comfort when you're on your feet for an extended period of time- shopping, rainy or cooler days, a day of activities, cleaning the house, going to the farmer's markets, etc. Your knees will thank you. Find a fun throwback pair of sneakers to add your touch of your style and personality to every look.

#4 Completely unfunctional heel (because covid is over!!)

We are going out to dinners again. We are having dinner parites. Dressing up feels normal again. Wearing a pair of heels feels surprisingly refreshing.
