Fall Shoe Edit

August 27, 2024

Back to school is officially in session! Even though it’s still blazing hot here in Florida, the start of school always has me mentally ready to shift my wardrobe, and lately I’ve been doing a little bit of a shoe edit–adding in a kitten heel here, resurrecting a tall boot there… So I wanted to share some great fall shoes that will take you from casual to dressy.

I focused on a couple categories: First, the dropoff shoe. This is a casual shoe that I’d wear to school dropoff/pickup and running all the errands in between. After a couple years of really leaning into the chunky sneaker aesthetic, lately I’m liking a simpler silhouette, like an old-school pair of Keds. (Elder millennials, you know what’s up!)

I’m also really digging a kitten heel these days. To be honest, I only put on “high” high heels several times a year. Often I find that a lower heel is not only (obviously) more comfortable, but is chic in an understated way. I’ve included a couple pairs here that you could wear with either a dressier pant or denim.

And finally, the return of the tall boot! I love a good slouchy high boot, and in addition to bringing out some older styles that I’ve held onto, I’m also eyeing up a new pair in brown for this fall.
