Shoes for spring/summer?

I'm at a loss for what kind of shoes to wear this spring and summer. I've always just worn flip flops but I think I'd like something a little more...I don't know...grown up maybe? Not sure the word I'm looking for. 

For work I'll still wear my normal heels or open toed heels but I at a loss for something seasonal for out of work. For example, today I'm going to a jewelry party at a friend's house and I'm going to be wearing my black flats and they seem so wintery. bleh.

Anyone want to shop for me?

Re: Shoes for spring/summer?

  • I'm in the same boat as you.  I have issues with shoes being comfortable so i end up with shoes that should be worn by women my mother's age.  I need to find something comfortable yet young and cute.  So I do tend to wear a lot of flip flops as well.

    So I'll be interested in what others suggest.  

  • I hear ya! I bought a new pair of flip flops and a pair of sandals, but I need something a little nicer, but comfy.

  • The flat sandals with a back are popular now, although I don't like them b/c really they're just a flip flop with a back strap.

     

     
    I have a pair wooden soled sandals from banana that I've had since 2005 that I love love love.  I am going to cry when they finally die.  They're black so I've taken a sharpie to them in spots where the wood has chipped.

  • LOL, sorry Dana.  I know they're popular and probably better for chasing a toddler, but I don't know they're just nms.

     

  • I was looking on Endless and man, I just can't find anything I like. I want a little heel but not too high. I used to have a cute open toed kitten heel from Target but they bit the dust two springs ago (last year I didn't care since I barely got dressed)

    Jess, I would like a cute summery type ballet flat too. 

    I guess I'm in a shopping mood. I bought myself a bracelet at the jewelry party and I'm trying to find a cute pair of capris (need a black pair) and I'm thinking of buying a tote bag - lol. I'll call it all mothers day presents.

  • I looked on Endless before our cruise and was pretty disappointed.

    I did get some aerosoles guava for work that I like, but they're a wedge with some heel.

    I just ordered some gap slim crops.  I ordered a pair from lands end canvas, but they were way to long, so hopefully the gap ones will fit better.

  • Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • i LOVE these but hate that they have a bit of a thicker heel. im not a heel person AT ALL.

    Lol, that heel is too much for you? You really aren't a heel person! That's about what I'm looking for - 1" - 1 1/4". 

    I just ordered two pairs of cropped pants from Ann Taylor Loft. Black and Khaki. I have a denim-ish pair and a white pair so I should be good now. 

    Now I'm debating getting this tote from Vera Bradley. And I'm still looking for shoes - and then maybe I'll be satisfied. lol

  • Okay, WTH are these? I mean, how can these be called sandals?

  • HA! are they for real?! that's funny as hell. definitely not what i would consider a sandal.

    that bag is cute!  i actually just got the tote in buttercup. the pattern looks washed out on the computer for some reason.  yeah anything with even the slightest bit of a heel is too much for me. they have a bunch of different colors and i want them all.  they do have a true flat but the flower isn't as cute.

  • I do like the flower on that one! 

    Buttercup is pretty - I bet its even prettier a little brighter. It's nice for spring/summer. I should just suck it up and buy it. If you could see how many totes I have you'd probably talk me out of it. Shoot - Nick hasn't even seen all I have stuffed in a closet. It's my weakness.
