Five Shoes You Need for Spring and Summer

Although I live by the “less is more” philosophy for curating my closet, there’s one area that can always get me in trouble… SHOES! Give mama all the cute shoes!

I used to be a total shoe hoarder and at one point had over 60 pairs! Those days are long gone and I’ve reined in my shoe habit to the point that I only add a couple of new pairs per season. Honestly all the shoes I need for spring and summer are what I already have and they fit into these five categories – Pop of Color, Sneakers, Neutral Sandals, Leopard and Metallic.

If you’ve ever done a GYPO Style Challenge you know this is true! Every spring and summer shopping list tends to have shoes on it in these categories. They’re the pairs you’ll be loving and slipping into year after year!

The cool thing is that every year we see some fun variations on the trends within each of these categories, for instance espadrilles and white sneakers. Today I’m partnering with Nordstrom to bring you my spring and summer 2019 fresh list of shoe trends.

1. Pop of Color
