Trend of the Month: August

While studying for the Bar exam earlier this summer, I spent my days in leggings, oversized t-shirts (most often stolen from my boyfriend’s dresser drawer) and flip flops. This overly casual garb is a stark contrast to what I wore last summer – business casual attire and heels every single day. To be perfectly honest, I miss dressing up. I miss wearing pencil skirt and silk shells. I miss doing my hair and makeup daily. But most of all, I miss heels. I’m on the short side of the spectrum (just under 5’3) so I absolutely adore any shoes that give me a few extra inches. For a girl who hasn’t worn heels in a few months, wedges are the perfect way to ease back into my former stiletto style. Also, wedges are perfectly appropriate for these sweltering summer months. Here are a few of my favorite summer wedges:

V

Volatile ‘Physical’ Slingback Sandal $49.95

JS

Jessica Simpson ‘Crepe’ Wedge Sandal $78.95

SE

Sam Edelman ‘Katrice’ Wedge Sandal $158.95

EJ

Elizabeth and James ‘Halo’ Macrame Wedge Sandal $240

Which pair is your favorite? Are you a fan of wedges?

  1. I absolutely adore wedges. I used to work in a corporate environment and had to dress in heels every day. When I was pregnant, wedges saved my life! I literally wore them until the day I gave birth. ha! They are just so comfortable.
    I own the JS Crepe wedge sandal in black. They are very comfortable.

  4. I love the Volatile ones. I have a pair of Volatile wedges from a few years ago (that I'd totally forgotten about until now) and they are surprisingly comfortable.

  5. I love the Sam Edelman pair. They feel more substantial than summer wedges so they can be worn into the Fall.

    Come by, stay a while

  8. I really love the Sam Edelman's, I'm pretty sure that I was ogling them online a few weeks back. And the Elizabeth and James shoes aren't bad either. Obviously I go for the most expensive ones! I hardly ever wear heels but this year I'm coming to see the appeal of wedges, like you!
