Right on, wedges
Remember about 4 years ago when wedge shoes went OUT of style for a while?
Let’s just go ahead and refer to that time period as the Dark Ages.
I love love love wedges for spring and summer. As a shorty, is always nice to get some extra height and they make any outfit look a little nicer without crossing over into “dressy” category.
Here are the two I’ve picked up (so far.. heh heh) this spring:
Spiney- $80 – I wear these out with the Pilot – without heels I come up to just under his chest 😉
and
Pouche- $70 – for more everyday purposes. Both pairs are from Aldo, which is one of my go-to shoe places. Their shoes are very inexpensive and have great quality.
Wedges look cute with pretty much EVERYTHING (crops, dresses, skirts, longer shorts), but here are some of my fave ways to wear them:
1. With a long tank dress and cuff bracelet
2. Crops, flowery tank and earrings
3. Shorts, longer textured top, lots of small sparkly bracelets. The trick to wearing wedges with shorts is to make sure the shorts aren’t too short and that the top is more conservative. This keeps things on the classy side 😉
4. With any dress or skirt 🙂
5. NOT with skinny jeans- some people can pull it off, I am not one of them.
This season, they came out with some very fun spins on the usual wedge shoes, which I adore:
Red, which can be worn as a neutral color:
(Aldo)
Color blocking
(Aldo)
Lace Up
Embellished
and more modern, stylized:
(my heart is swooning, and I’m not even a *shoe* person)
Are you rocking wedge shoes this spring? Where did you pick up your fave pair?

Love wedges! I can’t walk in high heels, but can walk in wedges! They are much more comfy to me!
I am ecstatic that wedges are back–and that I still have a few pairs from the last time they were in style! Why did you have to show me those Tory Burch ones–love.
amazing, right? oh how i love tb
LOVE that first pair! And the red ones.
I’m getting in to wedges more but I must say … I’m a sucker for a good sharp pointed toe heel!
I am so glad that I kept all my wedges from a few years back, now I can break them out again 🙂
I LOVE wedges- they are the perfect Casual Friday shoe too which is a nice break for my feet! I have been looking at those Aldo coral-ish red ones for a little while now and I think I’m going to go for it- you’re right they are a great neutral!
Great, now I need red wedges! Thanks a lot. Hehe just kidding. I mean, I do now need them, but I’m happy about it, not mad. Also, I LOVE the color of that dress- so pretty.
I love wedges now, but I used to think they were hideous! I’m glad I’ve changed for the better. I am a *shoe* person, but it is very rare that I spend more than 30 dollars on shoes, unless they’re workout shoes. I go to target for almost all of my shoes. They’re cute, inexpensive, vegan, and the quality actually isn’t too terrible.
Holy smokes! I don’t know how you can walk in such high wedges! I don’t wear wedges or heels a whole lot because I’m tall already and my boyfriend is just a couples inches taller than me. I do like to wear them every once in a while for special occasions though!
I’m wearing a pair right now! I’ve been avoiding any shoes with height because my darn running, flat, and wide feet are no good for them, but I love how feminine they make my legs look, so to heck… I’m wearing them.
loveee wedges!
love your wedges but i recently posted that i wear a ladies size 12 shoe. yes bigfoot here. They match my 5’10+ height but unfortunately cute shoes are not easy to find in a 12. Or I would totally have a minor shoe addiction, or major 🙂
I still have my wedges from a few years ago. I’ve learned not to get rid of things I love. I just wait until they come back in style. I think I need those Kate Spade wedges you posted the pic of. I loveee them!!!
I absolutely hate them! I don’t know what it is, I have never seen a cute pair ever. I’m so sorry ladies, but I gag!
hahah, rock on
I’m w/ you Alicia! Although I was surprised that I actually really liked that 2nd pair you bought, Gina. Made me wonder if I needed to rethink my whole wedge-hater philosophy. Might even have to go get a pair (gasp!). I AM a shoe person – fer shure!
love wedges too!!! i’m a huge shoe person more than a purse …and do love the wedges you got! been looking for some for ages now! are those comfy?
very!
i love wedges! I have feet issues (flat feet, orthodics, etc) and can’t wear high heels where I’m basically walking on the ball of my foot. Wedges solve this problem! They’re my go to once the weather is warm enough for them 🙂
I used to hate wedges, but they’re starting to grow on me. The first pair you bought are really cute!
Buying wedges or any shoe wear in red is next on my wish list. I love the red one.
What great timing, I literally JUST bought some new Banana Republic wedges today! They are navy blue canvas cross-cross straps with woven raffia platform wedges. I love em already! I share your affection for Aldo, too 🙂 I buy most of my wedges and shoes in general at TJ Maxx and Nordstro
Rack–discount shopping at its finest.
I love love love wedges. I’ve already bought three pairs for the summer! I run a lot and they are the only heel I can wear during marathon training!
I just bought the Forwood wedges from Aldo. They are my absolute favorite. They have a crazy 70’s style print!
oooooh i’ll go check them out 🙂
totally agree – i love wedges.. Sadly (not) I had to buy more this year after I gave mine to the second hand store during the Dark Ages thinking they may never make a revival!
that’s what i thought too- i got rid of all of mine!
Ahhh I am loving the fact wedges are “back” – always amazes me how different styles go in and out of fashion.
Today at the consignment shop we received the cutest wedges. They’re brown with a satin pretty bow on the top. Tone on tone chocolate brown…. I think I’m going back to get them tomorrow!
I just got a pair a couple of weeks ago very similar to the 2nd ones.. I got them at Urban Outfitters and they are super comfy plus I’m 5’10” so for me to say that is huge! Great post!
I’m 5’8″ and my husband is 5’6″ so I can’t even wear heels if I wanted to. But, I love UO!!!
I’m loving wedges right now too even though I consider them to always be in style… but that’s just me. My Stuart Weitzman Alex wedges are my ultimate favorites but I own several wedges because they’re so comfortable. I had my eye on those lace up Tory Burch wedges as well 🙂
I sooo wish I could fit aldo’s shoes. I like Kork Ease an Born wedges in pretty much any color. Loves em.
Just bought a pair of Steve Madden ones last weekend.. Pure love!

looooooove
I love aldo wedges i have more Aldo shoes then any other designer. i didn’t realize it until i read this post and started to think about it lol.
I didn’t think wedges looked right on me before, but after I found a cute red pair at Target, I’ve changed my mind. I posted a pic of them on my blog last week, and I got a comment telling me they were ugly and that I have no fashion sense…LOL! Obviously someone needs to read this post!
love wedges!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
I love wedges. I just got a pair of madden girls and a pair of louis viutton. I have a pair of lou’s but I think my fave as far as versatility is the madden girl.
