Firmly Grounded

If the first day of spring this year was two weeks ago, can someone please explain to me why it snowed last week? Yes, I’m talking to you Mother Nature! Seriously, the weather in Charlottesville needs to get warmer and stay warm. I don’t want to get a pedicure and have to cover it up in boots. Here are my footwear picks that can take you to class, a date, a party, a picnic, a formal, or even a horserace for under $250:

From Left to Right:

This pair from Steve Madden is busy but could work; it will set you back $129.95. One word:  “tablecloth”.

This UPenn alum has a steady following amongst UVA’s female population; they might as well form a CIO whose mission statement is to “increase the number of T-medallions on grounds”.  These wedges are on net-a-porter for $175 and in one word are “painless”.

These See by Chloe Scalloped Ballerina Flats for $225 are “basic” in one word.

Steve Madden pumps on Piperlime for $100. One word: sexy.

I own this Steve Madden Pair and in one word they are “hot”. $99.95

Here is another Tory Burch beauty for $235. My cut off point was originally $200 but I extended it for these babies, and in word these are an “upgrade”.
