The quest to find the perfect pair of spring heels is a valiant one. Because while spring sundresses, spring jumpsuits and spring rompers offer all kinds of sartorial value, none of them are really, truly complete until they’ve been paired with some seriously stunning shoes. And honestly—intellectual over-complications of clothing aside—shopping for spring heels is just plain fun.
During the winter, you can’t separate your footwear search from practicality—lest you opt for the wrong kind, slip and wipe out on a patch of black ice inevitably lurking on some sidewalk near your apartment. But spring—spring ushers in an era of fresh frivolity. Your rationale for buying a pair of spring heels doesn’t have to go deeper than, “They’re cute,” a gift we take for granted until the temperatures drop and we’re reminded what a liability the entire season of winter really is. During the spring, colors are brighter, prints are bolder and everything feels a little more delightful. (Amazing how beautiful our lives can be when the threat of a blizzard isn’t looming over our heads at all times, huh?)
I’m no astrologist, but I have something of a sartorial forecast to hit you with: This spring calls for fun. Where winter forced you to worry, spring invites you to be laidback AF. Ogle every cute pair of spring heels you encounter. Covet them. Maybe even buy them. You came, you saw, you Kondo’d—now, treat yourself to all the endlessly stylish delights that lie ahead.
