I’m Not Allowed Any More Shoes This Season, But Someone Needs to See These

It’s been a very curated shoe life for me of late—if you need context, peep this story about how I culled my fall and winter footwear own to just five(!) pairs. About 90% of the time, I’m thrilled with that kind of minimalism. In theory. But about ten percent of the time it’s just me wondering why there would be so many lovely shoes if I’m not allowed to buy any of them until spring? 

So let’s take a bit of that energy and direct it into something productive, shall we—hey, great news! There are loads and loads of great shoes on offer right now, and because I’m not buying any of them, there are more for you. I’m including plenty of flats, because we’re still hot on that shoe trend (I'd actually call it a lifestyle choice, but I digress). I also have a fab little collection of very special heels that deserve your attention, and lots of black styles at the request of my practical friends out there—so let's roll. 

I'm truly not a big ballet flat person, but The Row can convince me of all sorts of things.

I'm extremely interested in all flat brown shoe options.

This hue in mesh is also really doing it for me.

If you're trying really hard not to just buy another pair of Sambas.

I feel like I'm not allowed to say "quiet luxury" anymore, but these just are.

Just a teeny bit of red, to show you've been paying attention.

Super strappy, baby-buckled slingbacks continue to be a big vibe.

(An option, just in case that was just a little too strappy for you.)

When your low-key winter outfit just need a big pop of color.

A similar soft-point vibe for under $100.

Best black loafers I've seen in a minute.

I do like that these come up a little higher than your average ballet flat.

You kind of need to click in to see, but these are a really good shade of green.

If you're into a designer ballet flat, the sequel.

If you're into a designer ballet flat.

Instagram loves these Gucci slingback flats.

These will be so good right through summer and into next fall.
