I'm Not Allowed Any More Shoes This Season, But Someone Needs to See These

It's been a very curated shoe life for me of late. If you need context, peep this story about how I culled my fall and winter footwear to just five(!) pairs. About 90% of the time, I'm thrilled with that kind of minimalism—in theory. About 10% of the time, it's just me wondering why there would be so many lovely pairs of shoes if I'm not allowed to buy any of them until spring.
Let's take a bit of that energy and direct it into something productive, shall we? There are loads and loads of great shoes on offer right now, and because I'm not buying any of them, there are more for you. I'm including plenty of flats because we're still hot on that shoe trend. I'd personally call it a lifestyle choice, but I digress. I also have a fab little collection of very special heels that deserve your attention, and lots of black styles at the request of one practical friend out there who's on the hunt for the perfect pair. Let's roll.
