I’ve always been a chunky heel kind of girl, even with summer sandals. Yes, even my Tevas have a platform. But I have come to the realization they’re just not that practical for me, and well, comfortable, at least over long periods of time. That’s why I’m jumping head first into this whole embellished slide sandal trend that I think gives you the pop of a heel, but in the comfort of a flat. And I just love how they add a hint of fun to my summer outfit: white t-shirt and jeans (or shorts).
And what a coincidence! It’s Nordstrom’s big half-yearly sale, so that means you can score a sweet deal on a sweet pair of sandals. Or, maybe a couple if the price is right.
Here are a bunch of my favorites that I’m crossing my fingers are in my size. And yours too?
