Running Shoes
Every girl needs a pair of comfortable, yet fashionable running shoes in her closet. Whether you're wearing them to the gym every week or on a hiking date with that outdoorsy guy you just met, investing in a good pair of cute running shoes is a must. Plus, they'll really standout in that Insta you're going to post after you and your BFFs go on a super picturesque hike.
Black Pumps
The black pump is a classic. Just because we can't all afford the Louboutins of our dreams doesn't mean we shouldn't still own a killer pair of pumps. They turn every outfit into a class act, and can easily be paired with jeans or a dress to make any outfit seem much fancier than it really is. Pumps will literally never go out of style, so don't be afraid to buy a pair in nude too while you're at it. Between the rounded toe, pointed toe, ankle straps or peep toe, there are so many options when picking out the perfect black pump, each one just as good as the next.
Booties
Nothing says style like the perfect pair of booties. They're the easiest way to up your fashion game and your height all at the same time. Every season Booties come in all different styles and colors, so it's impossible not to find a pair you like that totally fits your personal style. They go with skirts, jeans, shorts and dresses. Basically, there's nothing they don't look amazing with. Booties are the perfect shoe to wear out to dinner, on a date, or out to the bar, and the major perk is that they won't kill your feet like a real heel will. Below the ankle or above the ankle, either way, they're perfect.
Wedges
If you go to a school similar to the University of Arizona, you know just how essential these shoes are, because you wear them out to the frats every weekend of the school year. Even if you're not wearing your wedges out to parties, wedges are the best way to make any outfit look a little fancier without feeling like you've gone over the top. Especially in the summer, the wedge is the perfect shoe to wear with a sundress or with jeans. Don't make the rookie mistake of wearing stilettos out to the party, I promise you'll regret it. Make sure you have some wedges in your closet instead! Plus, if you're challenged in the height department (I know I am), the wedge is the easiest way to add a little height to any outfit without feeling forced to wear a heel that might kill you or break your ankle.
Sandals
Wearing sandals in the summer is the way cuter alternative to wearing flip flops. Whether they're open toe, gladiators, or ankle straps; black, gold, brown or snake skin, there's a sandal style and color for every occasion. Sandals work perfectly for every summer scenario: whether BBQ's, dinners out, or even a house party with all your friends from high school; you should always have a cute pair of sandals at the ready. Every season the designers tend to recycle the old sandal styles, so chances are you'll be able to bring back your same pair year after year. Don't forget to paint your toes a fun and vibrant summer color while you're at it!
High Boots
The best way to still look stylish even when it's cold in the fall and the winter is with a pair of high boots. The coolest part about rocking some high boots is that they make your legs look way longer than they really are. They look amazing with jeans, leggings and even dresses if you're feeling bold when the weather is cold. High boots are acceptable in any fall/winter situation from dinner with your friends to a day out shopping. There's nothing cuter or lower maintenance than high boots, leggings and an oversized sweater in the fall. In brown or black, leather or suede, a good pair of high boots are a must.
