Nothing says summer like a good dress-and-shoe combination. It rapidly becomes your safety outfit when you're running late for work or you're grabbing a quick coffee with a friend. However, once you start wearing your favorite summer frocks on repeat, you can easily grow tired of this pairing.
While we understand how quick and effortless a good pair of sandals can make your dress look, we suggest you don't forget of the other shoes in your collection. From your white kicks to black transitional boots and office-friendly mules, your options can be limitless when it comes to styling a summer dress. You simply have to think outside of your summer box.
