Bargain Chic: Aerosoles

June 20, 2008

As you probably guessed, I'm not talking about a type of golf club or an unfortunate occurrence when your pants are too tight. No, in fact, I am talking about the quirky and comfortable shoe style called the wedge. And the wedge comes in all shapes and sizes -- some are dressy, some are sporty and some transform into the summery sandal called an espadrille. Whichever style you desire, there is always a wedge that can compliment it. And, here are just a few to tickle your wedge fancy.

Bamboo Nawty Beige Strip Satin Peep Toe Wedge, LuLu's, $24.50

Aerosoles Amusement Park, $39.99

Classified Crazy Green Printed Linen Shiny Cork Platform (whew, that's a mouth-full), LuLu's $25

Tommy Hilfiger Women's Sabrina Espadrille, Endless.com, $59.95

I live in Phoenix, Arizona -- a place where people wear sandals year-round. I'm not fond of cold toes during the winter months, but once it hits about 80, the sandals, flip-flops and open-toe shoes come out of the closet onto my happy, slightly large, feet. Every spring/summer season, I revel in the new sandal styles. This year in particular, I'm searching for a cute pair of functional and fashionable sandals. I'm not talking flip-flops, but a classy pair of thong sandals. Hopefully I'll find some before the summer's over. Luckily in Phoenix, the summer weather usually doesn't end until mid to late October! In the meantime, here are a few samples of some great sandals and great prices...
