Nutty for Neutrals!

Breaking: I have rejected the previously blogged-about Aerosoles Teal Estate wedges as too weird in the wedge. You can quote me on that. I'm now pondering the Chrome Body in versatile tan. While I wring my hands, I also searched out some other options for a nice tan shoe that will get a lot of summer wear. I just can't get enough shoes, people!



I am really pondering these Nicole Goblet slingbacks with a 3/4" heel, $73.95. My tan flats from last summer are a teensy bit effed up at this point. Why oh why didn't I buy five pairs of Target's Cherokee flats instead of just two?



Also really digging these Progetto Glam twisty flats with a slight heel, $98.



My problem is that I can't decide if I want a lovely heel or a more walkable lower heel. Cause let's face it: Higher is always cuter. Dammit. Nicole Ritter sandal, on sale for $59.99.



Nicole Lotus slingback wedge, $74. Yum!



Oxitaly round-toe slingback, $144. I heart round toes so much.



Dr. Scholl's Sideshow strappy heels. Four inches' worth. Not sure how I feel about the treading on the bottom. $83.95.



What about when Marc does it? Marc by Marc Jacobs heels, $203.00. Not really feeling these, because....



...Frye totally does it better. Minus the treads. Frye Iris peep-toe heels, $140.



Okay, I know these are technically not neutrals, but I love them so! Natural Comfort TM93 T-strap wedges with adorable tear-shaped cutouts, $100.95. Also comes in gorgeous teal at Nordstrom.



Speaking of teal, I love the weirdo color accent on these Faryl Robin Coy chunky heels, $157.95.



I guess, in the end, the practical solution is to go for the practical shoe: Heel no higher than two and a half inches (and preferably lower). Tops in this category is this Camper-esque Naturalizer Afternoon sandal, $60. What do you think? I liked their simplicity at first, but now I suspect they're just dowdy.



What about the real Camper? It too seems a little too simple, somehow, but I bet it's very comfortable. Camper Helena slingback, $135.
