I don’t know about you, but every year around March, I start to get very tired of my winter wardrobe and just want to shop for dresses with flowers on them and footwear that lets my feet see the light of day. That time has come, and I just sifted through hundreds of pairs of shoes on dozens of retail sites. Needless to say, my wish list of spring shoes has grown exponentially since yesterday.
Nothing says spring like a pair of pretty shoes (well aside from flowers in bloom, pollen, and longer days), so that’s what my shopping deep dive is focused on this time. I’m convinced that I have found the most beautiful shoes on the internet for spring 2023. Naturally, I’m sharing them with you, but I’m also taking things a step further and suggesting some items to wear with the pretty shoes. Sounds fun, right? Scroll to feast your eyes on (and perhaps shop) these dream pairings.
