Countdown to Spring

I'm hoping Virginia behaves we actually get a Spring this year. Can't wait for those stinky pear blossoms, some 60-degree temperatures, and getting to bust out the sandals.

I am currently OBSESSED with the shoe selection at Forever 21. As always, they are beyond reasonably priced and have a life expectancy of about a season (that's probably for the best because nothing's worse than catching sight of a civilian who's just not willing to let go of seasons old trends… will the scrunchie just die already?!).

That's not completely fair, the shoes I recently just picked up are actually a pretty great quality and are classic enough to survive a few seasons.

J.Crew's Maya Ankle-Strap Sandals, $188

Forever 21's Favorite Ankle-Strap Sandals, $12.80!

Cynthia Vincent's Laney Open Toe Sling Back, $345

Forever 21's Sophisticated Sling Back Booties, $32.80!

Isabel Marant's Carol Studded Leather Sandals, $1,035
(Yes, that's a comma.)

Forever 21's Star Studded Strappy Sandals, $36.80!
(I actually love these so much I got them in both colors!)

I love that the heel on this is totally manageable, so they won't be another "collector's item" in your closet that gets dusted occasionally, but never gets worn. They work well with nearly any outfit - a quick google search on "Isabel Marant Carol studded sandals" may offer you some inspiration. My favorite pairings: boyfriend jeans, denim shorts and a simple shift dress.

Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! All Day, Every Day!!!
