Mule Over Buddy

While espadrilles and flip flops are the shoes for summer, sometimes you have to dress it up a bit. You don't have to go digging for your stilettos though. Try mule sandals. They are cool, versatile, and pretty simple. I like them to dress up with a skirt or down with a romper. Very easy and very affordable.

Toms, Sandstorm Nubuck Perforated Mules, $98

See what I mean? You can pair this a culotte for work or shorts for the weekend!

Nordstrom, Bella Vita Savona Open Toe Mule, $73

Hello lipstick red perfection.

A great stacked heel, chunky look, but with the right outfit and the right strut, the perfect summer shoe.

Mule Tide

Happy Tuesday lovebugs,
I had a lovely long weekend, and I won't rub it in too much because it seems most people did not have yesterday off. So sorry for your loss.

Anyway, let's jump right in with a fall shoe trend that is casual chic. The peep toe mule. On a brisk weekend day, these heels are the perfect addition to your outfit.

Kohl's, ShoeMint Miller Leather Peep Toe Mules, $59

Originally $100, these are such a steal. 

Asos, Hendon Mule, $69

What a great chunky heel and the buckle detail is very mod. 

Steve Madden, Nonstp, $99

I love these. They come in tan, gray, black, or this rich cognac.

These shoes. You know how you're reading about the 70's fashion comeback? These. Shoes.

The mule trend is so far beyond your mother's chunky mules. This trend is very chic and it works with skirts, denim, you name it. Just please, I know it's fall, but let's make sure those toes are painted.

Mule-ing it Over

Mules are weird. Both the animal and the trend. I'm not sure why it's a thing but it's one of the more comfortable trends we're seeing right now so I'm on board. Mule sandals are particularly great because they're usually very walkable with some nice support versus a strappy option.

Anthropologie, Lien.Do Sol Mules, $99

Woven rafia, does it get more summer than this? They're just so pretty.

Swell, Rebels Hallie Perforated Peep Toe Heel, $72

The detail of the perforation is so quiet that it add just the right amount of style to these otherwise organic and simple heels.

Nordstrom, Jessica Simpson Romy Leather Mules, $88

Gotta love J Simp for adding  pop of pink to this nude sandal. This is white jean ready.

Bare Necessities, Seychelles Leather Mule Sandals, $78

I'd save these shoes for a cool summer night with a breezy maxi dress. The leather is going to give you some sweaty feet but with this much style, who cares?

The mule trend is sticking around for a while and in this variation of a summer sandal, that is just fine by me.
