10 TOP SPRING ESSENTIALS SHOES FOR WOMEN

Great shoes polish the outfit. Ralph Lauren’s Style Guide, and several other fashion experts, recommend the platform wedge, strappy dress sandal, bright leather bag, and spring scarf as Spring essentials. But, let’s talk shoes—for now.

THE PLATFORM WEDGE SPRING ESSENTIAL – MORE VERSATILITY

 Many style experts proclaim the platform wedge as a spring style essential. Designers have created a gaggle of wedges to choose from. Casual canvas to luxurious leather. With just as many price points; but paying $800 for these great shoes is not Frugalista stylish. The wedge elongates the leg in much  more comfy style than the stiletto. They look good with any of the Spring essential dresses detailed in earlier post.
