Some of us are shoe fanatics. I can’t even describe what a great pair of shoes does to me, and I know I’m not the only one that happens to. Today there are soooooo many shoe options. Sadly a lot of those options are hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. As much as I would love to throw common sense to the wind and buy every pair, I have a husband giving me the stink eye while saying ” be sensible”. When it comes to shoes being “sensible” is the last thing you want! You want sexy, amazing shoes that might hurt your feet so bad you never get to wear them. And if you can’t wear them you’ll get just as much joy having them on a shelf so you can look at them. Hey, I never have said we didn’t have problems. It’s just how a lot of us ladies are. Personally however, if I’m going to pull the trigger and buy a pair of shoes that are more on the pricy side I’m going to want to get some bang for my buck. So here is a list of shoes that every woman needs in her closet. All of them are appropriate for every day to special events and can be mixed and matched with all choices of outfits.

1- Classic Black Pumps
There is no reason to not wear a classic pump. Ever. It goes with absolutely everything and will always be in style. They are the LBD of the shoe world. You can never go wrong with this option.

2- Ballerina Flats
Sometimes you don’t feel like teetering down the street in skyscraper heels. This is the option for those days. Functionable yet fashionable with a sprinkling of cute on top. There are many style options available as well. From patent, to cap toed, your arches will be thanking you for the day off.

3- Wedges
I LOVE a sky high wedge for the summer. I find them to be more comfortable than heels and they are flirty and fun for summertime. Plus who doesn’t feel out of place trying to mix heels with shorts during the day? That’s a little too Pretty Woman for my taste.

4- The Ankle Boot
An ankle boot can be useful in any kind of weather. From snow to rain these little babies can add a little rock and roll to your favorite dress or add a little oomph to your favorite pair of skinnies.

5- Dressy Evening Heel
This would be your dressier of shoes. The least functional of your shoe wardrobe, but probably also your most special. A shoe with a little extra pizzaz to dress up a plain dress or skirt that can also stand on their own against a ball gown.

You can find these choices in any price range and in every store you wander in to. These however are the shoe choices that will always be in style, so if you wanted to treat yourself and spend a little more than usual I would suggest you choose one of these five styles to do so. Then you won’t have to worry if its a passing fad that you won’t get the wear out of. You will wear any of these options until the shoe gives out on you. Plus they all come in such nice options that you will still get the max amount of shoe envy from other women. It can be our little secret that not only are they beautiful, they are also huge wardrobe staples that can be worn every day if you want. Ah, shoe envy never felt so good.
