Platform Espadrilles

Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for shoes that add style to an outfit without making my feet hurt. Especially with a trip to Italy right around the corner, I knew I would be needing some platforms to walk around in! When I went to the mall the other day with my girlfriends, we stopped into Steve Madden and I found them. Yes, them. The shoes that made any outfit instantly trendy but felt just as comfortable as flats. The fact that they came in this perfect shade of blue made me even more sure that I needed to add them to my collection. If you’ve never owned a pair of espadrilles, now is the time to pull the trigger. They are the perfect summer shoe and this season, designers have added all different styles to their collections. If you don’t want something with a platform, opt for a flat version! My favorites are the ones that wrap around the ankle – such a cute detail.

I styled the shoes with this off the shoulder number to add some flair to the basic LWD! You already know how much I love wearing blue and white together – it’s my favorite! Something about the combination just screams summer to me! I can’t get enough of it. This OTS dress is under $20 AKA there is no excuse not to buy it! It’s the perfect cotton dress to throw on for those hot summer days. To dress it up, pair it with nude heels and a fun pair of earrings! To dress it down, opt for flat slides and natural glowy makeup.
