Transition With These 11 Fall Wedges & Mules

A Roundup of Your Next Go-To Shoes (During The Weird Transition Months)
Filed Under > Noted By

Knowing that the final weeks of summer will be gone before I know it, I’m starting to linger a little longer in the shoe section.  I personally love love love summer, but there IS something about shopping for fall (especially the shoes) that gets me too. (It sounds like all of you are excited about it too, by the comments in our Zac Zac Posen handbag giveaway!)  In the South, warm temps usually carry us through mid-October, which causes all to wonder how the heck to transition seasons comfortably!  Hence why I’ve been bookmarking a lot of fall wedges and mules this week; these shoes have a little more material to them and can be worn during this weird transition time between seasons.  I know that I still have a few months before I go full-in on a pair of booties, and I don’t want to show up to happy hour or a tailgate in the same beachy sandals I’ve been wearing all summer.

So in the slideshow above, I’ve rounded up 11 fall wedges and mules that will see you through the next few months in style.  I personally just picked up this pair and this pair (under $100!), and can’t wait to wear them (even if I’ll be sad to see summer go).  Cheers, Kat
