Less is the New Plus: Purple!

If you are on a budget, one of the best ways to prioritize your shoe funds is to splurge on the basics, but spend less on trends that may not still be popular next year. Purple is one of those trends. It is super hot for fall, but it could easily fall to the wayside by next year. However, you can wear a basic Christian Louboutin black pump for years to come. I’ve found some cute purple shoes that will keep you trendy, but won’t break the bank!

Steven by Steve Madden Midory Peep-Toe Booties

These booties caught my eye across the Nordstrom >/';lshoe department last weekend because they are so bright and fun! They would be cute with black skinny pants or a dress or skirt and tights.

Report Oakley Flat

I love ballet flats, and these Report Oakleys are super cute and look comfy as well. They are also available in gray and for the great price, you can get both!

Report Oakley Flat $50 Piperlime

Michael Kors Hanna Platform

I think these Michael Kors’ platforms are hot! The purple crinkled patent is really pretty, and I like the contrast of it with the black heel and platform. I think these shoes would be cute with some wide-legged jeans or trousers.

Less is the New Plus: Styles for Fall!

Calvin Klein Passion Pumps

Purple and Bordeaux are definitely the colors of fall for this upcoming season! I really like these Bordeaux patent pumps. They are perfect for the office! I’d probably pair them with a black and white tweed skirt and black tights.

Report Origami Flats

I think these black and bone flats are so cute! I love the black toe cap and stitching detail on the bone leather. These are great everyday running-errands flats with shorts or jeans, but they’d also be cute with a black skirt and tights.

Report Origami $74 Zappos

Circa Joan & David Pretty Boot

I love these Circa Joan & David suede boots for fall. The gray suede is very understated, and the slouchy construction and ankle tie are really pretty. The heel is not ridiculously high at 3 ½ inches, and they do feature a ½-inch hidden platform. You’re going to wear boots like this with everything, season to season. And the best part is they are on sale!
