Step Lightly into Spring: After-hours Heels (Part 5/5)

This is clearly my favorite category because I’m a heels-girl but also because we’re talking about the shoes you sport to show your personality or to add that pep in your step. All bets are off here – the only danger is to steer clear of going headlong into summer (nights are still cool); and expect these to run a little more because you’re adding instant POW to your look. A few you could still rock to work but these

Step Lightly into Spring: Work Pumps (Part 4/5)

You’re not quite sure how to usher in spring during the week so you err on the side of being conservative (and stick with your standard black pumps). NO! It’s spring and after the hard winter, it’s your right to get a little jiggy with it…without a full-on dorothy-and-wizard-of-oz moment. If you’re sticking with the standard pump then, at a minimum, upgrade yourself to a cognac/leather colored pump (with a coordinating handbag) to look like you tried. If you want

Ready for the Weekend: After-work Heels

These Schutz drauzia heels are high but impossibly chic! If you’re looking for a shoe that can carry you to all of your After 5 affairs and dressier occasions this spring and summer, look no more… I’m in love with the styling, vamp, color and even the $200 price tag isn’t unreasonable.

Step Lightly into Spring: Flats (Part 3/5)

I now wear them more than I ever imagined but, for others they are the go-to so let’s plan to step into spring stylishly with fab toes. For spring, focus on adding color or texture but avoid jumping into the “warm weather” pool with both feet because it’s spring, not summer. So no sandals, no lightweight fabrics, or flip flops. Great picks for transitioning to spring are… [show_boutique_widget id=”243155″]

Step Lightly into Spring: Flat Boots (Part 2/5)

Yep – you can still sport your tall, flat boots (for another couple of weeks especially in the evenings) so let’s get it in before we have to put them away for the next six months. If you’re going to sport your tall, flat boots make sure the weather is cool (60s/70s), keep it mostly casual, and opt for the lighter cognac/whiskey/leather colors if possible. I’ll definitely try to get another wear or two out of mine {pictured above}. You’re

Step Lightly Into Spring: Wedges (Part 1/5)

Admittedly wedge heels are not my favorite….mostly because they create extra weight near the ankle and thus, can look clunky. The keys to wedge heels are to ensure that if you have a peep toe, it’s not too large or your toes push through; and that the heel grips well. That said, they can give you a bit of height and offer more comfort for some. Consider also that it’s spring [not summer] so you don’t want to look like
