Summer shoe capsule 2024

Summer shoe capsule from left: navy ballet flats / pale gold loafers / cap toe flats / striped espadrilles /

This summer is all about comfort and shoes I can walk for miles in! Of course, sneakers are included in my shoe capsule; they are not pictured.

If you have been following along, you know I recently fell in love with Vionic and have invested in a few pairs of their shoes. This can be seen in my summer shoe capsule which has three pairs of Vionic shoes. Love! They have a nice arch support which allows me to wear them all day without switching the soles to my orthotics; although, with Vionic, that is an option.

Of course, as you know, I am huge fan of espadrilles in the summer months. I love the breathable fabric and soft construction of espadrilles. Since my planter fasciitis flares up, I chose espadrilles with a slight wedge in order to give my feet some arch support. As long as I don’t go on long walks in them, they should be OK. I highly recommend keeping a pair of espadrilles around during the summer for hot days, the beach, and comfort.

I still need to find a comfy pair of sandals. I am on the hunt!

Summer handbag capsule wardrobe 2024 from top: “Jet Set” customizable straw tote / leather and straw tote / green handbag / yellow pouch / black shoulder bag / black satchel / caramel top handle bag / neutral mini tote /

It is time to pull out all of your natural fiber handbags! Summer is just about here, so straw totes and handbags woven with natural fibers, are hot for the season! I have had this “Jet Set” tote for years. It is perfect for beach days, outdoor events, and any occasion where you would want to wear a straw tote. You can customize the bag with any phrase you’d like, plus it’s really affordable. Love that!

Of course, not every day during the summer months is spent seaside. So, a small capsule of classic leather handbags is a must for the season. This mini tote is great for days when I need to carry more than my purse essentials, and these small bags are ideal for everyday use. Of course, this east/west satchel is turning into my go-to on a daily basis. It fits a little bit more then my daily essentials which is perfect in the summer when I want to carry sunblock and sunglasses, as well as a few snacks.

This summer, I am carrying a mix of happy color handbags as well as timeless neutrals. Of course, I always need a few black handbags on hand. I mean, is it even possible to live without a black handbag? I feel like we can never have enough black bags in our lives! haha

If you are looking for new bags this summer, look for classic straw/natural fiber bags which are carried by the brand/designer every year; such as the two I have in my collection. They never go out of fashion. Love that!

Also, continue shopping for anonymous handbags you can keep in your wardrobe for years. Logos are still staying in the storage closet for quite some time.
